Rakuten to host gourmet festivals in Osaka and Tokyo

Rakuten is launching the ‘Rakuten Kuishinbo Festival,’ a gourmet event designed to connect online shopping with offline experiences. The festival will feature a special online page showcasing approximately 220 stores and 16,000 gourmet products, including shrimp dumplings and cheesecake.

Offline events will be held at Ogimachi Park in Osaka from September 18 to September 23, 2026, and at Yoyogi Park in Tokyo from October 9 to October 12, 2026. These physical venues will host approximately 40 vendors selling 400 different items, such as spicy curry and ice monaka.

A stamp rally will link the online and offline components, allowing participants to earn Rakuten Points and original ‘Okaimono Panda!’ merchandise. Limited edition items, such as branded dorayaki, will also be available.
