Get a head start on summer! 'Corn & Edamame Festival' to feature fresh, farm-direct summer vegetables

Mori Building Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Shingo Tsuji) announced that its facility, Ark Hills, will host the 'Corn & Edamame Festival' on Saturday, June 20, 2026. This event is a special edition of the weekly 'Hills Marche' and focuses on the charms of seasonal corn and edamame (green soybeans).

The 'Corn & Edamame Festival' is a one-day event where visitors can enjoy fresh summer vegetables harvested on the same morning, along with dishes using these ingredients and live market concerts to get a head start on the summer season. About 50 vendors will participate, offering not only standard yellow corn but also high-sugar white corn, and fresh edamame transported still attached to their stalks and roots, providing a 'mini-harvest' experience. Additionally, exclusive takeout sweets will be available, including innovative corn shaved ice, zunda (mashed edamame) dango, and corn bread made without eggs, dairy, wheat, or white sugar. The weekly outdoor concert will also feature a brass quintet.

Ark Hills remains committed to its community market, 'Hills Marche,' by organizing special seasonal events that provide opportunities for encounters between customers, producers, seasonal ingredients, and high-quality cuisine.
