Sushi from Edokko Japanese Food complements the meal, while a selection of Japanese beverages, including whisky, beer, and sake, provides a refreshing accompaniment. The dessert options, such as manju (Japanese pastry), mochi ice cream, and kakigori (flavored shaved ice), offer a sweet conclusion to the culinary experience.
The pavilion also offers cultural demonstrations that provide further insight into Japanese traditions.
