この日は、東京ドームがまるで“食卓のテーマパーク”に変わる期間の始まり。
This marks the beginning of the period when Tokyo Dome will be transformed into a dining theme park.
テーブルウェア・フェスティバル2025の魅力を、ぎゅっと凝縮してお伝えします。
We’ll be sharing a condensed version of the appeal of the Tableware Festival 2025.
まず冒頭でお伝えしたいのは――“食器の展示会”なんて思ったら大間違い。
Firstly, let me start by saying that it would be a huge mistake to think of this as just a tableware exhibition.
今年の主役は、“食卓をデザインするライフスタイル”です。
This year’s focus is on a lifestyle of designing the dining table.
世界の陶磁器、和洋の器、最新トレンドのテーブルコーディネート、さらには有名料理家によるライブデモまで。
There will be ceramics from around the world, Japanese and Western tableware, the latest table coordination trends, and even live demonstrations by famous chefs.
まるで「食卓ってここまで進化できるの!?」と驚かされる連続です。
You’ll be amazed at how far the dining table can evolve!
そして、体験型ブースが過去最大級。
And the interactive booths will be the largest ever.
自分の好みの器を選び、実際に盛り付けてみる“セルフコーディネート体験”は、今年の注目ポイント。
One of the highlights this year will be the “self-coordination experience,” where you can choose your favorite tableware and actually arrange your food.
さらに、若手クリエイターによるコンテストも開催。
There will also be a contest for young creators.
陶芸・ガラス・木工…素材の垣根を超えたアイデアが集結します。
Ceramics, glass, woodwork…ideas that transcend the boundaries of materials will be gathered.
大切なメッセージは一つ。
There’s one important message:
「食卓を整えることは、暮らしを整えること」。
“Setting the dining table is setting the stage for life.”
器はただの道具ではなく、“日常のリズムを変えるスイッチ”になる――その実感を得られるイベントです。
Tableware is more than just a tool; it can be a “switch that changes the rhythm of your daily life” — this event will give you a real sense of that.
最後に…
And finally…
朝食でトーストを食べる時、皿を変えてみるだけで“今日の気分”まで変わるって知っていますか？
When you eat toast for breakfast, did you know that simply changing the plate you use can change your “mood for the day”?
明日の朝、器をひとつ選ぶ時間――それが、あなたの一日の幕開けになるかもしれません。
The moment you choose your tableware tomorrow morning could be the start of your day.
──それでは、今日も良い朝食を。
–So, have a good breakfast today too.
