NEW Menu Announced for This Popular EPCOT Restaurant

Red alert! Red alert! A new menu was announced for one of our favorite spots in EPCOT, and we couldn’t be more excited.

Over in Takumi-Tei in the Japan Pavilion, you can dine on their new spring menu, which is packed with phenomenal and gorgeous eats.

Takumi-Tei features an omakase, which means “Leave it up to the chef,” so it’s great for adventurous eaters who like trying new eats. It offers a two-hour omakase dining experience, and since the menu changes each season, you’ll likely have a different experience every time you visit.

There are multiple course options to choose from, but for this menu, Disney highlighted the seven-course option, which is the full menu. Here’s a look at some of the dishes:

First Course
