This zone features three food trend themes with the newly added "Inbound × Food".
"Inbound × Food"
The number of foreign tourists visiting Japan is rapidly recovering, and it is predicted that it will exceed the 2019 level by Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan. Among the so-called inbound demands, the interest in the "food" sector is very high, and it is expected to continue to expand in the future. In the newly established "Inbound x Food" zone, we aim to contribute to the expansion of inbound consumption and the improvement of sales and profits in the retail, food service, and restaurant industries by providing buyers with food, information, and services related to the inbound demand in the food sector, such as meals and souvenirs purchased during foreign tourists' stay in Japan.
