About this event

Winter arrives with early sunsets, often tempting people to stay indoors. This exact season is when the enticing gourmet event "Sumida Warm Gourmet Fest 2026" takes place at Sumida Park Soyokaze Plaza. A total of 44 stalls, combining dining tents and food trucks, gather at the venue. Visitors can enjoy body-warming hot pots and soups such as sumo wrestler-specialty chanko nabe, scallop hot pot, samgyetang, and simmered offal (motsu nikomi); grilled dishes like gangan-yaki steamed oysters, seafood skewers, and Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki; and local flavors including houtou noodles and Okinawa soba. International cuisine such as xiao long bao, churrasco, and kebabs, as well as churros and specialty coffee, are also offered. Most items range between 500 and 1,000 yen, making it easy to sample a variety while hopping from stall to stall. On the stage, sumo shows, magic shows, street performances, and music lives including gospel and acoustic singing are held daily, easily enjoyed by children and adults alike with food in hand. The opening day kicks off with a sake barrel opening ceremony led by the Mayor of Sumida Ward and Stablemaster Ajigawa. Alcohol is also sold, and the event runs until 20:00 on Friday and Saturday, making it a great stop on the way home from work. It is a 7-minute walk from Asakusa Station and within walking distance of Tokyo Skytree, making it easy to combine with sightseeing in Asakusa and Oshiage.
