Rakuten has announced the ‘Rakuten Kuishinbo Festival,’ a gourmet event intended to bridge online shopping with physical experiences. The initiative includes a dedicated online page featuring approximately 220 stores and 16,000 products, such as cheesecake and shrimp dumplings.

Physical events are scheduled to take place 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 venues will host roughly 40 vendors offering 400 items, including ice monaka and spicy curry. To connect the digital and physical components, a stamp rally will allow participants to earn Rakuten Points and ‘Okaimono Panda!’ merchandise, alongside access to limited edition items like branded dorayaki.
