Tokyo Tokyo Delicious Museum 2027

Try mouth-watering dishes from more than 40 top restaurants at this family-friendly foodie festival in Ariake. Tokyo Tokyo Delicious Museum showcases a range of culinary delights, including dishes from hard-to-reserve Michelin-starred eateries.

The event has the backing of the Tokyo government and draws crowds. In 2025, more than 53,000 people attended.

Important: You can’t use cash at any of the stalls — you’ll need to use a card or digital-payment method. In terms of budget, expect to spend around ¥3,000–¥5,000 per person.

What happens?

Tokyo Tokyo Delicious Museum promotes some of Tokyo’s best restaurants. It’s a good chance to see what’s popular in the city at the moment.

The food

The venue is divided into four areas, with 40+ food stalls spread throughout. These are not your simple food trucks; they are professional kitchens able to serve up restaurant-quality eats.

Highlights 2026

This year’s line-up covers a range of Japanese regional cooking and global comfort food, with everything from wagyu to Buddhist shōjin cuisine and Michelin-starred Italian. You’ll also find Sichuan Chinese, Welsh-inspired plates, tacos, pizza, and sweet shaved ice, among many, many more temptations.

We recommend: The lemon-cream pasta with fresh Hiroshima oysters from Meri Principessa.

Vegan, gluten-free and halal food is available.

Aside from the eating, there are a handful of merchandise and experience booths worth a look. Expect traditional Hokuriku crafts such as lacquerware, a hands-on sushi-making experience, Niigata rice-flour sweets, sweet-potato treats, and specialty cheesecake.

The drinks

You can grab alcoholic and soft drinks from stalls dotted around the venue. Pop into the Izakaya Tokyo booth to sample local sake and shōchū — you can buy it nearby if you like it.

Note that we didn’t see any coffee when we were there on May 15 — you can grab a cuppa from one of the nearby cafés if you need a caffeine fix.

Live entertainment

There is live music during the day, as well as Japanese-festival-style music and dance performances at night, and cooking demonstrations throughout the day (on the weekend).

Things to know

As mentioned, the entire event is cashless, so don’t bring cash!

It is set to be hot as anything this weekend, so do bring sunscreen and a parasol.

Finally, be prepared to line up and wait — queues started forming as soon as the stalls opened on May 15, and they will only get longer!

Family-friendly

The event is set up to be family-friendly, with priority seating areas in the shade, a nursing station with hot water dispensers, and kid-size portions available from the food stalls.

Pets are also allowed, and there is a designated seating area for folks with doggies.
