16–22 June: EU Food Festival – Week Three @ Tenshiba Park

Dive into the world of European gastronomy with hands-on workshops, chef demos, interactive activities, tastings and much more, as the EU Food Festival continues in Tenshiba Park! 

 

What to expect:

The culinary celebration continues! Join us for the third week of the EU Food Festival in Osaka’s Tenshiba Park, where European flavour meets local flair in a delicious daily experience.

From 17 to 21 June (Monday to Friday), explore the festival at your own pace with product tastings and delicious pairings featuring artisan cheeses, pastries, olive oils and more. It’s the perfect midday escape - relaxed, flavourful, and full of discovery.

The weekend of 21–22 June brings even more excitement! On Saturday, Chef Michiko Kimura showcases her signature “inner beauty” cuisine, blending European ingredients with elegant simplicity - don’t miss her sautéed lotus root with blue cheese and a vibrant sausage and cheese salad. On Sunday, Chef Ryoko Morigami takes the spotlight with her gourmet Duck Petit Galette and two types of creative canapés.

Each day features four thematic workshops that dive into Europe’s sweet and savoury side. Saturday’s focus is on European pastries and teatime treats, while Sunday spotlights the timeless appeal of cheese, with tips on pairing with herbs, fruits and preserves. 

Add to that games with Tane-Chan, live entertainment, and giveaways - and you’ve got a full week of flavour and fun you won’t want to miss!
