Mamemugi Ennichi Summer Festival 2026

Why You Should Visit

Maruyanagi Ogurayama, a Kobe maker known for steamed beans and tsukudani, hosts a two-day summer festival at Mamemugi Marche on the ground floor of its Higashinada headquarters. Expect sweets made only for these two days — baby castella with barley flour, chilled barley zenzai, soft-serve topped with beans — plus old-school festival games like string-pull lottery and toy scooping. A free bingo game starts at 11:30 on both days, and the shop runs special discounts on its regular products. A small, neighborhood-scale summer festival that works well with kids.

FAQ

Is admission free?

Admission is free. The limited sweets and festival games require an "Otanoshimi" ticket (¥200 incl. tax, or free with a qualifying receipt). Bingo is open to everyone without a ticket.

Is it good for families with children?

Yes — the string-pull lottery, toy scooping, and bingo are all aimed at kids, and every string in the lottery wins. The venue is the ground-floor shop and the adjacent kitchen studio, so it is compact.

Will it be held in the rain?

Yes, it is held rain or shine. The venue is indoors — the shop and the kitchen studio — so weather has little effect.

Can I come by car?

There is a parking lot but with limited spaces, and crowding is expected, so the organizer asks visitors to come by public transport, bicycle, or on foot.
