Festival
BAKERY EXPO JAPAN
This event revolves around "bread," a staple in our daily lives, and focuses on various initiatives aimed at addressing challenges such as passing down technology and culture to the next generation, tackling environmental issues like energy, and innovating the surrounding environment of bread. It offers an opportunity to experience the "future of bread" and its potential. The main content is the "5th Best of Mondial du Pain" international bakery competition, where the top six teams from last year's "9th Mondial du Pain" held in France will gather at the Osaka/Kansai Expo venue to compete for the title of the world's best baker. In addition to the competing teams, top bakers from 28 countries and regions worldwide are expected to come to Japan. At the demonstration booths inside the venue, you can experience a variety of bread cultures from different countries and regions, including exclusive breads and sandwiches made by chefs from Europe, Asia, South America, and other regions that have shown remarkable development. Other highlights include a chef's table where you can enjoy pairings of rare cheeses, charcuterie, wine, and other essential ingredients in the bread scene. There will also be a live talk by a legendary artisan awarded the "M.O.F" (Meilleur Ouvrier de France), a prestigious French title for exceptional craftsmanship. Furthermore, throughout the event, top bakers from around the world will take turns baking and selling their bread, offering a great experience for bread enthusiasts and visitors alike. The event is free to enter, so if you're attending the Expo, make sure to get tickets for June 4th and 5th! For more details, please check out our SNS!

EXPO SAUNA TAIYO NO TSUBOMI
The Expo sauna, "TAIYO NO TSUBOMI," is located at the western edge of the venue, overlooking Osaka Bay. This open, scenic waterfront sauna offers an immersive experience that embodies the theme of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai: "Designing Future Society for Our Lives. Petal-shaped air membrane cushions come together to form a single bud, creating a beautifully dynamic structure that stretches toward the sun, brimming with vitality. The energy of the sun, immersed in the air of the sea, plants, and wind, pours down onto the "TAIYO NO TSUBOMI (Sun Bud)." The delicate yet powerful membrane creates an environment filled with natural energy, harmonizing our minds and bodies and guiding us back to the core of our humanity. The space, enveloped by an ETFE film* membrane that allows natural light to filter through, glows gracefully with LED lighting, harmonizing with the ever-changing nature of Osaka Bay across the seasons and time. The sauna offers a completely new 'co-creation' space, embodying a future society that values “warmth and harmony.” *ETFE film: A high-performance fluoropolymer material that has been processed into a film. It is increasingly recognized for its potential to replace glass, offering new possibilities for architectural design. ※An event-style sauna experience guided by instructions from the staff. ※Please make sure to arrive on time. ※The event date may be subject to change on short notice due to maintenance work on the sauna room. ※The event details are subject to change without prior notice.

Exhibition
Eco-friendly Package Project
While plastic has advantages such as being lightweight, durable, and easy to process, a major issue is that it does not biodegrade and remains in the environment almost permanently if it leaks out. Therefore, in this initiative, we will work to reduce the amount of plastic used in packaging and switch to materials with lower environmental impact. Additionally, by using food containers made from plant-based materials like bagasse (sugarcane residue) that decompose in soil, we will also contribute to achieving Food Cycling.

Fiber art project collaborates for the world's top circular dress through upcycling X innovation
A unique three-dimensional structure that has been patented! An SDGs art project that upcycles a truly seamless heavenly dress. An initiative to co-create a seamless circular dress that will set a Guinness World Record by upcycling resources - an amount of which is estimated to be 5 million tons discarded unused each year around the world - and by using patented technology with an overlock sewing machine. We will introduce our activities that challenge the development of sustainable fashion for the future society by realizing upcycling that utilizes waste generated in the conventional clothing production process through innovation in the production process that does not generate waste in the first place.

Exhibition
Technology development and promotion of food barrier-free
At Kyoto Koka Women's University, interdepartmental research teams are developing and promoting the evaluation of the physical properties of swallowing control foods for people with eating disorders (dysphagia), the development of Japanese sweets as swallowing control foods, and the development and promotion of Japanese and Western sweets with added functionality as health foods. In the Co-creation Challenge, we are working on 1) the development and promotion of foods for people with impaired feeding and swallowing functions (nursing foods and swallowing control foods) and 2) the development of functional foods (functional confectionery) with specific functions that contribute to the maintenance of health.

Exhibition
Creating a bright future through craft beer developed in collaboration between AI and brewers
We believe that we can create a crafted and sustainable bright culinary future through craft beer developed in collaboration between AI and craft beer artisans. Specifically, we are implementing the following four initiatives: 1. Co-creation of beer recipes by generative AI and artisans: We start with the planning of new beer product concepts and search information on which materials and methods to use to express features such as color, aroma, taste, and mouthfeel of beer. 2. Creating product descriptions with generative AI: AI helps in realizing expressions that are timely, beautiful, poetic. 3. Novelizing the process of the product's creation and the scenes of actually enjoying the beer: AI assists in creating engaging narratives about the journey of the beer and the experiences it brings. 4. AI handling business process management: Managing schedules, and so on, allows humans to allocate resources to more creative tasks.

Our approach for the future to reduce food loss issue
It is a big challenge for us to reduce food loss issue by upcycling a vegetable waste, "Mottaizai" with technology of 3D food printer and paper making. For 3D food printer, Mottaizai will be reprocessed into a food ink. This ink with 3D printer could open up a new world of food with wonderful taste and appearance. Mottaizai waste will be reprocessed into paper materials for packaging. No waste is left with our challenge. Participants may have the oppotunity to think a food loss issue more than ever through our exhibition. Hope participants feel excited to build the future of food with no loss.

Exhibition
Creating an exciting health utopia with easy-to-drink functional beverages
We would like to realize a healthy society of the future by researching and developing functional beverages that can support wellness (specific examples include beverages containing functional ingredients such as hesperidin, a polyphenol found in green mandarins, which has anti-allergy properties, improves blood flow, and has a relaxing effect, and gallate-type catechins from green tea, which are expected to have functional ingredients such as cholesterol and neutral fat absorption suppression, blood sugar level suppression, and anti-glycation effects). We also plan to reduce waste by thinning out the agricultural products that are the raw materials, or by using as many substandard products as possible that cannot be sold on the market, and we would also like to increase the number of organic farms and support sustainable agriculture that is kind to producers and the global environment. We are excited to work towards creating a utopia where people all over the world can continue to live healthy and fulfilling lives.

Exhibition
we all build new balue.
Based on the concept of "we all build new balue," we will provide experiential content that allows you to feel the cycle of "vehicles = life" with your whole body. No matter how much technology advances, it is "people" who make the most of it. KONOIKE GROUP utilizes a variety of special-purpose vehicles to support customer services and social infrastructure. "Vehicles = life" are created by human hands, come to life with human power, and eventually come to an end and are recycled. Visitors will be able to experience the true appearance of many such "vehicles" through video footage.
