"Gekikara Gourmet Festival 2017", the "Japan's largest" Gekikara Gourmet Festival, will be held again this year (2017). The period is from August 23rd to September 10th. The venue is a special venue (Okubo Park) in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo. Admission is free and food and drink charges are required separately.

The Gekikara Gourmet Festival, which is bustling every year, is an event that brings together famous "Gekikara Gourmet" restaurants that represent the world, such as Indian food, Thai food, Vietnamese food, Korean food, Chinese food, and ramen. In the four years from 2013 to 2016, which was held for the first time, a total of more than 400,000 "hot spicy fans" visited.

This year, 24 stores are scheduled to open, which is the "highest ever", of which 6 are the first to open. A new menu will appear for those who visit every year.

The session will be held in three parts. The 1st Round is for 5 days from August 23rd to 27th, the 2nd Round is for 6 days from August 29th to September 3rd, and the 3rd Round is for 6 days from September 5th to 10th. August 28th and September 4th are closed due to store replacement.


Furthermore, in commemoration of the 5th anniversary of the event, the "# 5th Year's Spicy Crest Campaign" is being held until August 13. If you post a photo of the past Gekikara Gourmet Festival with the hashtag "# 5th year's spicy bones" on Instagram or Twitter, "pick-up and drop-off with limousine & all-you-can-eat & all-you-can-drink" will be a group of 5 people.
