A Flavorful Japanese Culinary Experience Awaits with 'Tsumugi'

In an exciting development for travelers flying out of Kansai International Airport, Pronto Corporation has announced the upcoming launch of its new venture, 'Tsumugi', set to open on June 2, 2026. Located in the international departure area of Terminal 1, this innovative restaurant will provide a unique opportunity to savor authentic Japanese cuisine just before heading abroad.

Enhancing Traveler Experience

As part of the ongoing renovations at Kansai International Airport, the facility aims to enhance international flight capacity and passenger experiences. The renovation phase four is expected to be completed by June 2026, with 'Tsumugi' among 24 diverse retail and dining establishments that will debut. This comes after the major overhaul that began in 1994, featuring improvements like consolidated security checks and a large international lounge, aimed at elevating the passenger experience.

'Tsumugi', inspired by the former 'Waka Cafe Tsumugi', will primarily focus on kamameshi (Japanese rice cooked in a pot) and matcha tea, allowing both international visitors and departing Japanese passengers to enjoy a premium dining experience at the last moment before their flights.

A Unique Atmosphere

Designed to embody a warm and inviting ambiance utilizing traditional Japanese motifs and colors, 'Tsumugi' will be dedicated to elevating the dining experience with its signature kamameshi and matcha offerings. Each dish is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the best of Japanese culinary traditions.

At 'Tsumugi', the kamameshi will be prepared using domestic rice, combined with carefully selected premium ingredients that complement Pronto's original tai (sea bream) dashi. Upon opening the pot, diners will be greeted by an enticing aroma of dashi, while the visually stunning presentation of luxurious ingredients like wagyu beef and fresh seafood will further entice them.

Along with the kamameshi, patrons will enjoy a bowl of dashi soup to savor the pure flavors before topping off their dish with it for a delightful ochazuke experience.

Featured Menu Items

• - Black Wagyu Kamameshi Set - 4,950 JPY (tax included)

The highlight of the menu, the black wagyu kamameshi set features expertly grilled pieces of rib, sirloin, or shoulder cut that are cooked to keep their tenderness and flavor intact. Served over freshly cooked rice, this luxurious dish is accented with fresh daikon sprouts and yuzu, enhancing the wagyu flavor in a splendid presentation.

• - Special Selection of Six Seafood Kamameshi Set - 4,400 JPY (tax included)
