[Osaka - June 16] 1.5 Times the Scale of Last Year! Grand Marché, Advocating a "Hands-on Approach," Holds the 3rd Restaurant Exhibition GRAND MARCHÉ 2026, a Festival of Food and Liquor for Restaurants!

This time, the exhibition scale has been expanded to 1.5 times that of the previous event. Under the banner of a "hands-on approach," we, along with more than 200 exhibiting companies, will propose new value to attendees from the dual aspects of "information" and "products."

Overwhelming "Hands-on Approach": To support the "deliciousness" of restaurants, we carefully select products that are truly useful in the field.

Exhibition Scale Expanded by 1.5 Times: Renting Halls A, B, and C on the 2nd floor of the OMM Building in Tenmabashi, Osaka, the event will be held on the largest scale ever.

Enriched Attention-Grabbing Categories: Many breweries of trending craft gin, local whisky, and local sake will exhibit, allowing for on-the-spot tasting and business negotiations.

Subsidy Utilization Seminar

■ A Must-Listen "Subsidy Utilization Seminar" for Restaurant Owners
Saving restaurants with "0 yen" in subsidy receipts. Many restaurants have the perception that "subsidies only belong to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (such as IT Introduction Subsidies and Business Restructuring Subsidies)." However, in reality, there are a wide variety of support measures available for restaurants across more than six ministries, including the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the National Tax Agency, and the Japan Tourism Agency.

In this seminar, targeting owners who answered "0 yen" to the question "How much did you receive in subsidies last year?", we will deliver a concentrated 60-minute explanation of the "latest utilization techniques of public support" that can drastically change management just by knowing about them.

Exhibitors Meeting Diverse Needs: Companies from all fields related to restaurant operations, including not only beverages and food but also takeout materials, store design, IT solutions, and financial consulting, will gather. We will support solving various issues, from property selection when opening a new store to the daily procurement of fresh produce, selection of coffee beans, and management improvement.

The previous event was very well received, attended by over 1,500 restaurant professionals. This time as well, we will provide more encounters, deep knowledge about wine, alcoholic beverages, food, and store operations, and business opportunities useful for your management starting tomorrow.
