The upcoming “Takuro Expo,” scheduled for November 2026, will feature a limited-time culinary lineup curated by popular comedians, including the highly anticipated “Ginji Fried Rice” developed by Ginji Watanabe of the comedy duo Don de Collete. The event, organized by the comedy duo Takuro—winners of the M-1 Grand Prix 2025—aims to highlight specialty dishes favored by performers, with several items slated for exclusive sale during the festival’s run in Osaka.
The culinary offerings reflect the personal tastes of the participating comedians. Among the confirmed menu items is “Akagi Soba,” a dish reportedly consumed daily by the duo’s Akagi. In addition to the food stalls, the event will feature collaborative merchandise featuring Myaku-Myaku, the official mascot of the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan. Other confirmed participants include the comedy group Gyangori, who will serve a dish titled “Pork Bowl Falling from the Sky,” according to event promotional materials.
