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 flavour journey continues! From 9 to 15 June, Tenshiba Park remains the go-to spot in Osaka for a taste of Europe’s rich culinary heritage. Whether you're popping in for a mid-week treat or planning a weekend outing, there’s plenty to savour.
From Monday to Friday, enjoy a more laid-back experience with all-day tastings of premium European products. Discover unexpected flavour pairings – from velvety cheeses and delicate pastries to top-tier olive oils. On Friday 13 June, don’t miss a special live cooking show by Chef Yuta Funaoka.
The weekend of 14–15 June bursts into life with cooking demos, games, giveaways, and live entertainment. On Saturday, TV personality Maiko Kozuka serves up bold, spice-infused dishes, while Sunday sees the return of Michelin-starred Chef Masato Shimoda with his signature fusion creations.
Each day also features themed sessions spotlighting top EU products: cheese (13 June), olive oil (14 June), and savoury delights like cured meats and herbs (15 June).
Join us for a delicious week of discovery, where European tradition meets Japanese taste.
