Experience Japanese Cuisine and Craftsmanship at 'KOGANE MATSURI' with Illuminated Osaka Castle in View

Positive Dream Persons Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Teruo Nishimura), a hospitality company dedicated to creating感动 across Japan, operates BLUE BIRDS ROOF TOP TERRACE—a rooftop restaurant with a direct view of Osaka Castle’s main keep. The venue will once again host its highly acclaimed special event, 'KOGANE MATSURI (Kogane Festival)', this year. Aligned with the Tenjin Matsuri offering fireworks that light up Osaka’s summer sky, this one-night-only experience will allow guests to immerse themselves in Japanese food culture and craftsmanship from a uniquely privileged location overlooking Osaka Castle.

'KOGANE MATSURI' is a one-night experiential event that celebrates Japan’s unique 'food' and 'culture' against the backdrop of Osaka Castle. This year, themed around wagyu beef and rice, along with traditional Japanese culture, we welcome guests with curated content designed to let international visitors fully appreciate the charm of Japan. Please join us with your family, friends, or loved ones to enjoy a memorable 'summer evening in Japan'.

A luxurious summer experience from a prime seat with views of Osaka Castle.

The popular annual 'KOGANE MATSURI' returns, with the rooftop transformed into a vibrant stage under the illuminated and ever-changing silhouette of Osaka Castle’s main tower. This year, guests will be welcomed by elegant bamboo lantern decorations evoking traditional Japanese aesthetics, inviting you into a fantastical world. The event also features powerful, must-see content. The culinary highlights are 'wagyu sumiyaki (charcoal grill)' and 'feather-pot cooked rice served fresh off the flame'. Savor this special moment, immersed in the flavors and culture of Japan, as only summer can provide.

Wagyu Butchery Show (Starting at 19:00)

A live wagyu butchery show performed by our chef will take place within the event venue. This dynamic live performance, showcasing the bold dissection of Japan’s prized 'wagyu beef', offers a rare and powerful glimpse into Japanese food culture and craftsmanship. The wagyu meat, freshly cut before your eyes, will then be served to guests, allowing you to enjoy the unique, freshly grilled flavor.

※ Start time may vary depending on the day’s schedule.

Sumiyaki (Charcoal Grill) BBQ

We will prepare sumiyaki-style wagyu BBQ, grilled slowly over charcoal. Gathering around the shichirin grill and cooking your own meat is a distinctive aspect of Japanese dining culture. The rich, smoky aroma from the charcoal enhances the natural umami of the wagyu, delivering a special culinary experience that engages all five senses. Enjoy this 'Japanese Style BBQ' under the open sky, with the ambiance of a Japanese summer and the majestic Osaka Castle in view.

Feather-Pot Cooked Rice

Served alongside the wagyu, enhanced by the rich, smoky flavor of charcoal grilling, is fluffy rice cooked in a traditional feather pot (hagama). We use the premium 'Kounotori Nurtured Rice', a brand cultivated in Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture, through environmentally sustainable farming practices, carefully selected for its perfect pairing with meat. Cooking in a feather pot brings out the natural sweetness and umami of each grain, offering a soft, satisfying texture. This special dish allows you to savor the timeless Japanese delight of 'freshly cooked rice'—a flavor deeply cherished for generations—paired with exquisite wagyu.

Bamboo Lantern Display

The venue will feature bamboo lantern installations by CHIKAKEN, a bamboo lighting performance group based in Kumamoto Prefecture, active both in Japan and internationally.

The soft, warm light emanating from the natural bamboo material will cast a magical glow over the entire space, transforming the rooftop with views of Osaka Castle into an even more extraordinary setting.

Enjoy the unique fusion of traditional Japanese materials and contemporary lighting artistry.
