Hey! We have a news scoop!<\/h1>\n

First background regarding the counter-service venue at the Japan Pavilion…<\/h3>\n

Andy from Eating (and Drinking) around the World (here<\/a>) reported in August that Yakitori House at the Japan Pavilion was going to be closed for 3 months (or more) for refurbishment.<\/p>\n

Touringplans.com (here<\/a>) reported that this area would be renamed “Katsura Gardens” and would be an homage to the Katsura Imperial Villa… The actual quick-service dining location will be named the “Katsura Grill.”<\/p>\n

On September 22, the Epcot Explorer’s Encyclopedia website had photos of the significant things happening behind those construction walls in the Japan Pavilion (here<\/a>). Some of their photos show that the old Yakitori House is being expanded in the rear and the front – this is in agreement with what Scott Farrow (Mitsukoshi Restaurants manager) told us on October 31st.<\/p>\n

And, on October 19, wdwmagic.com had more photos of the construction (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Now for the scoops!<\/h3>\n

The projected reopening, or maybe that’s “opening”, of Katsura Gardens is December 15th<\/strong> – hooray!<\/p>\n

And, the small store previously seen at the stairs leading up to the “new” Katsura Gardens is going to be a Sake Bar<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Now, we didn’t ask if that means that the sake \u00a0bar presently in the back of the department store is going away, so no news on that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
