Osaka will be holding a kickoff event for its "Food Waste Reduction Campaign: Sell, Eat, and Use Everything with a Spirit of Frugality!"

October is "Food Loss Reduction Month." During the period, about 600 supermarkets and other stores across the prefecture will hold a "Food Loss Reduction Campaign" featuring POP displays and leaflets introducing useful information such as ways to preserve ingredients longer and tips for organizing refrigerators.
As a kickoff, we will be holding a kickoff event on Saturday, October 3, 2026!
There will be a '○ × Quiz Contest' on stage, merchandise sales at booths, games, and more. We also have limited-quantity gifts available!
There will also be quiz segments by Cerezo Osaka ambassador Toshinobu Katsuya to clearly explain food waste reduction.

Furthermore, on the day of the event, we will hold a booth tour event at the venue.
The first 1,000 visitors who visit the booth will receive a "Mozuyan" can badge!
