There are some great food events going on at some of the department stores around town.
Mitsukoshi in Nihonbashi is doing a Yamagata Fair on the 7th floor of their main building. Soba, Yonezawa gyu, and konnyaku are great.
Tobu in Ikebukuro is doing a Niigata Fair on the 10th floor. Nihonshu, rice, and seafood are highlights.
Takashimaya in Shinjuku has an interesting event featuring universities around the country involved in food research. Most curious is you can try Kinki maguro, the tuna that is raised from the egg. I believe there are only two fisheries doing this in the world, both in Japan. I didn't have time to try their donburi, but spoke with one of their reps. He said it is as good as wild caught tuna (what else is he going to say?).
