Over the years, Japan has adopted several western holidays including Christmas and Halloween adding its unique flavor to them. Thanksgiving however still has its turkey-potato-pumpkin flavor and is celebrated mostly by the Americans living here. The holiday might be not widely spread in Japan but restaurants and some retail stores still have some special offerings to satisfy your turkey crave. In this article, we are sharing information on where you can buy the necessary ingredients if you want to cook dinner at home and restaurants that have a special Thanksgiving menu. Since Tokyo has the biggest number of American residents among Japanese cities, we decided to concentrate on the capital of Japan.
