Andy over at Eating (and Drinking) Around WDW got the inside scoop on a bunch of news coming out of the Japan pavilion in Epcot! Here are the main subjects, but be sure to head over to his site for details!

Katsura Grill and Gardens Replaces Yakitori House

The Yakitori House, now closed for refurbishment, will reemerge as Katsura Grill (menu will stay essentially the same, Andy says), and the beautiful gardens next door will be refurbished as well!

The Yakitori House in Epcot's Japan Pavilion Will See Some Changes

Japan Food & Wine Festival Booth Being Used as a Stand-In Counter-Service Spot

Those of us familiar with the Japan Booth will recognize the structure and sign here! It’s serving a limited menu of counter-service items while Yakitori House undergoes refurbishment — check out Andy’s site for the menu photo!

Kabuki Cafe and Other Kiosk Updates

Andy got the scoop on why the Kabuki Cafe menu changed so rapidly after it first opened. The good news is that those savory items might come back at certain times of the year depending on Epcot attendance! He’s also covered a few other details, including a third new quick-service kiosk in Japan! See the link above for details.

We’re looking forward to enjoying all that’s new at the Japan pavilion next year!
