From Friday, September 18, to Monday, September 28, 2026, the “Banana Man’s Sekkaku Gourmet!! Expo” will be held at [Kyoto Takashimaya S.C.] (Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture). This marks the third time the event has been held in Kyoto. The venue will feature a selection of restaurants carefully chosen from episodes of the popular food variety shows *Banana Man’s Sekkaku Gourmet!!* and *Banana Man’s Early Bird Sekkaku Gourmet!!* aired through early summer 2026. With four restaurants making their Kyoto debut, the event offers an even more impressive lineup than last year.
In addition, the dine-in area—where you can enjoy freshly made dishes—will feature popular ramen shops such as [Kotobuki Seimen Yoshikawa] from Saitama (Week 1 only) and [Kitagata Ramen Daruma] from Tochigi (Week 2 only). It’s a real treat to be able to casually enjoy authentic flavors beloved in their respective regions right here in Kyoto.
In addition to exhibits featuring the familiar “Himura Robot” and replicas of the costumes worn on the show, official show merchandise will also be on sale, so come eat, see, and enjoy yourself.
