Jamming Sugar’s summer festival
Date and time: Sunday, August 14, 15:00–19:00
In front of Jamming Sugar↓
Here’s what Jamming Sugar’s summer festival will have.
- Fresh vegetables and shiitake mushroom rice
- Super ball scooping
- Beer
- Ramune soda and dagashi snacks
- Freshly roasted coffee

It seems Naka Farm, which we previously featured on Nishitsu, will be selling locally grown vegetables from Nishinomiya.
Puantai, two doors down, will have terrace seating, so you can relax and enjoy coffee, shiitake mushroom rice, gimbap, and more.
OLIVE GYM’s summer festival
Date and time: Sunday, August 14, 16:30–19:00
OLIVE GYM↓
Here’s what OLIVE GYM’s summer festival will have.
- Yo-yo fishing
- Takoyaki
- Karaage fried chicken
- Gel candle workshop
A gel candle workshop sounds great for kids’ summer craft projects too.
Karaage↓
The takoyaki and karaage will be fried by none other than Ogawa-san from Rat★Race Kurakuen!
Ogawa-san actually even has an Ageshi fried-food certification. Apparently he also has a barbecue certification
It’s a certification from the Japan Karaage Association. The Rat Race illustration is used as his profile photo. It properly says Kurakuen too
Takoyaki↓
It will be made using flour from “Toshinobu-san-chi no Kona,” a takoyaki flour specialty shop that opened in Kikutani-cho last year!! Nishitsu has also had a takoyaki party using Toshinobu-san-chi no Kona. It’s definitely good flour
Nagata-san from OLIVE GYM will be selling beer🍺. It’s a summer festival adults can enjoy too. The karaage PR is seriously intense lol
Finally
When you think of summer festivals, shrines usually come to mind, but it’s fun when local shops team up to hold a festival together. It will be held next Sunday, August 14.
