Currently opening a store at the Expo site! Futuristic Challenge Shop/Tsukikage x Unagi Pie Osaka Kansai Expo Store

"Future Challenge Shop" at the Osaka Kansai Expo site

At the Osaka-Kansai Expo site, Aoki Shofuan and Shunkado, executive members of the Yumeshima New Industry and Urban Creation Organization, have opened a "Future Challenge Shop" with the aim of allowing visitors to actually experience new technologies, social systems, and lifestyles related to food, beverages, merchandise, and services. The shop promotes the appeal of Osaka's specialty "Milky Manju Tsukagesho" and Shizuoka's specialty "Unagi Pie" in cooperation with the organization. The shop is located in the third building after the Ireland Pavilion and Malaysia Pavilion, after passing through the large roof ring from the East Gate. The shop is conveniently located just a five-minute walk from the East Gate, where many visitors come, and is located inside the overseas pavilions, so we have received many comments from customers such as "This is the only place among the overseas pavilions that has a fun atmosphere and is easy to enter" and "It's nice to be able to take a break when you're tired of walking."
