Why You Should Visit

Dishes featured on the TBS show "Bananaman's Sekkaku Gourmet!!" come together on the 7th-floor event hall of Kyoto Takashimaya S.C. Niboshi ramen, Sendai beef tongue bento, Goto mackerel bo-zushi and Sasebo's Queen cream puff line up in a mostly takeaway hall. The fair runs September 18–28, with some vendors swapping between the first and second halves. The two ramen shops have eat-in counters, and show merchandise including a venue-exclusive kitchen timer is on sale. Being a department store at Shijo-Kawaramachi, it is an indoor food crawl that works on a rainy day.
