Toba International Hotel in Toba City, Mie Prefecture is launching a special afternoon tea in collaboration with Oshawott, Mie Prefecture's official supporting Pokémon. This limited-time offering celebrates both Oshawott Day (March 10) and the upcoming 150th anniversary of Mie Prefecture in 2026.
About Oshawott and Mie Prefecture
Oshawott, a Pokémon featured in the Pokémon series games, was appointed as Mie Prefecture's official supporting Pokémon in December 2021. Through a comprehensive partnership agreement between Mie Prefecture and The Pokémon Company (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo), various regional collaboration products featuring Oshawott have been developed to promote local products and enhance the region's appeal.
To commemorate Oshawott Day on March 10 and the 150th anniversary of Mie Prefecture in 2026, this special afternoon tea will be available for two months in March and April 2026, showcasing a variety of dishes and sweets made with distinctive ingredients from Mie Prefecture.
