Why You Should Visit

Higashimaru Shoyu, the soy sauce maker headquartered in Tatsuno, Hyogo, holds a one-day free tasting of its Udon Soup at PLAT UMEKITA in the South Park of Umekita Park, Grand Green Osaka. You can sample oden seasoned with Udon Soup, and tasters receive a free sample pack plus a spin on a roulette where everyone wins original goods featuring the Udon Soup characters. Every visitor also gets a limited-edition sticker, so it makes an easy stop while shopping in Umeda or walking through the park.

NOTE

Higashimaru Shoyu also has a booth at the Tatsuno Citizens' Festival on November 3 (Tue, holiday).

* The oden tasting, samples, mini-game and stickers are limited and end when supplies run out.
