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:
Join us for another delicious week at the EU Food Festival in Osaka’s beautiful Tenshiba Park! From 7 to 13 July, explore Europe’s rich culinary traditions through tastings, talks, and weekend entertainment - all served with a side of summer fun.
Weekdays offer a relaxed and flavourful experience with our delicious product tastings and pairings featuring Europe’s finest cheeses, olive oils, pastries, and more. It's the perfect way to savour a taste of Europe at your own pace.
Then, on 12–13 July, the weekend brings vibrant energy and an expanded programme. On Saturday, Chef Michiko Kimura from Cooking Salon Etoile delights with her health-focused “inner beauty” cuisine: sautéed lotus root with Fourme d'Ambert and wasabi soy sauce, and a miso-dressed sausage and cheese salad. On Sunday, Michelin-starred Chef Masato Shimoda returns with two of his famed fusion creations - bratwurst with honey mustard kinpira, and truffle miso chicken with carrot.
Our thematic workshops take centre stage with a focus on European cheeses on Saturday and EU wines on Sunday - perfect for foodies eager to learn the stories behind the flavours.
With live demos, games with mascot Tane-Chan, and a festive atmosphere, it’s a week not to be missed. Come hungry, leave inspired!
