Why You Should Visit
Daimaru Kobe's regular Hokkaido fair returns for summer, gathering around 50 vendors on the 9F event hall. This edition centers on a "Cheese! Cheese! Cheese!" theme with cheesecakes, soft serve and savory cheese dishes. Highlights include the award-winning "neo cheesecake" from the 2026 Sapporo Sweets Competition (its Kansai debut) and premium cherry soft serve from Ohashi Cherry Farm, plus seafood bowls, mega-size plates and bento from around ¥500. Many stalls are Kobe debuts, and there are live cooking demos. A comfortable indoor spot to graze out of the summer heat.
