Rumor Epcot to gain signature steakhouse and seafood venue in Japan Pavillion?

[Bacon]

Reports online that Epcot will start construction on the new restaurant in the next few weeks

there are already 2 TS restaurants in Japan...why a 3rd? Not that I'm complaining - we need another seafood place somewhere on property but why here?

Hey how about that. Maybe they should name it "Mt. Fuji" or something of that ilk just to troll us Epcot/Disney fans.

Say it with me... "KOBE!"

The first post that I saw of it was from the site that shall not be named, that showed up on Reddit.

I had to edit that post several times to get something to work. Forgot about certain web links not working.

Thank you.

What are your thoughts Marni? Is this happening?

Well, at least they aren't taking up the "Meet the World" building for it.

It's such a terrific wienie, that fortress, it NEEDS an attraction in it!

Is that pronounced Benny-Hana???

Hehehe. There's already a "Benny-Hana" there.

We need an attraction in Japan... Still hoping the shinkansen idea is resurrected before I die.

It’s news to me.

It’s news to me.

The outlined area is actually pretty tiny for what they listed in that "article". I could maybe see if they are moving the Tokyo Dining room downstairs and expanding the steakhouse upstairs.. maybe it got "lost in translation"? Otherwise, they would need a considerable bump out of the pavilion to the side of Mitsukoshi in order to make it work. They could also do more of an Izakaya style place. Think Irish Pub with more standing than seating. It would probably be a big boost to the sake tastings they currently do.

good point. seems more logical. even though it's not as exciting as a ride I would have though Disney would parade this around if was full blown new TS.

Hai,This is good news!!!

Spoiler

its a pun hai as in hey. Get it? Haha I think it's funny

 

[ChrisFL]

Not sure if this is relevant, but I know Mitsukoshi is doing a LOT of moving things around. When I went a few weeks ago, the entire back room was walled off.

Seems completely redundant to me. Japan has 2 TS restaurants and Epcot has a signature steakhouse.

So that's a No still on the Mt Fuji Coaster.......
