Japan Booth Menu and Review (Epcot Food & Wine Festival)

Are you a fan of Japanese food? If so, you’ll probably want to check out the Japan booth at the Food and Wine Festival.

But, we will say this year the booth in the Japan pavilion wasn’t our favorite. In fact, we walked collectively loving only 1 item.

japan - epcot food and wine 2022 - food and drink items

Quick sidenote from 2021: we noticed on one evening that even though this booth was listed to remain open until the end of the night, it started closing about 20 minutes before the rest of the park. The reason for closing early remains unclear, but, either way, if this is on your to-do list, make sure you visit well before closing time just in case (as you should with everything else that’s at the top of your list).

Here’s everything you need to know about the Japan booth, including reviews, photos, and our must-trys.

Overview

Location: Near the Japan Pavilion
Nearby booths: Hops & Barley, Tangierine Café, Greece
Nearby seating locations: Standing tables in the Japan pavilion, inside and outside of Tangierine Café, in the American Adventure pavilion (outside or possibly inside Regal Eagle where there are tables and A/C)
Not to miss: Yuzu Lemon Drop

Teriyaki Chicken Bun

A steamed bun filled with chicken, vegetables, and a teriyaki sauce.

Price: $7.50
Special Diets: N/A
Rating: 2.7/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Good proportions of bun to filling. Unfortunately, didn’t like the taste of the filling at all.
Heather: The filling in this bao bun was really good, but I worried I was eating my son. Thanks, Pixar.
Felicia: A really doughy bun with a mild chicken teriyaki stuffed inside. Not great.

Takoyaki

Octopus, green onion and cabbage bites topped with Tonkatsu sauce, bonito flakes and nori.

Price: $8.50
Special Diets: N/A
Rating: 1.5/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Mushy.
Felicia: The flavor isn’t bad but this is pure mush. Like uncooked cake batter. And that is very off-putting.

Spicy Salmon Donburi

Spicy salmon with sushi rice, shiso leaf, red tobiko and rice pearls.

Price: $8.75
Special Diets: N/A
Rating: 1.7/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Definitely spicy but also definitely mushy.
Heather: I don’t have anything nice to say so I’m not going to say anything at all.
Felicia: Oddly warm and very fishy. Lot of spice. Can’t recommend it.

Yuzu Lemon Drop

A tart cocktail made with vodka, yuzu, and lemon juice garnished with a lemon jelly.

Price: $8.00
Made with alcohol? Yes
Rating: 4.3/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Fantastic pop of lemon.
Heather: I loved this! So crisp and refreshing. Fantastic drink option.
Felicia: I’m conflicted here. I like the flavor I think and has a refreshing lemon to it. I love yuzu and that flavor is strong. But, somehow reminds me of tanning lotion.
Allyson: For a lemon drop, this is good. I love the lemon flavor.

Hana Fuji Apple Sake

This Fuji Apple sake by Hana is refreshingly tart with a slight apple flavor.

Price: $8.00
Made with alcohol? Yes
Rating: 2.8/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Light and refreshing. Easy to drink.
Heather: Very strong apple taste! Generous serving size, too. Sake isn’t my favorite but this is one of the better ones I’ve had.
Felicia: Very sweet and tastes like apple.
Allyson: I hate sake and I hate this.

Moon Blossom Pilsner

Moon Blossom Pilsner from Orange Blossom Brewing Co from Orlando, Florida.

Price: $5.00 (6 oz.) / $9.50 (12 oz.)
Made with alcohol? Yes
Rating: 2.8/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Light and just a hint of the orange.
Heather: Odd flavor – hear me out, but it tastes like the candy coating on Sixlet candy. For REAL.
Felicia: Heather said it tastes like a Sixlet and it does. Tastes like the candy coating on them. Artificial sweet flavor. Can’t recommend.
Allyson: I wanted to like this but it almost tastes like a cream ale to me.
