So come hungry, and don’t even think about skipping it!
Universal Studios Japan
Universal Studios Japan (USJ) is located in Osaka, Japan’s second most vibrant city after Tokyo. If you’re staying in Tokyo, getting to Osaka is easy—just hop on the Shinkansen, and you’ll arrive in about two and a half hours.
USJ is right next to Universal City Station, a lively hub filled with restaurants, shops, and entertainment. It’s not just a gateway to the park—it’s part of the fun! You’ll also find plenty of hotels nearby, making it a convenient and exciting place to stay.
Throughout the year, USJ hosts spectacular seasonal events like Halloween and Christmas, each transforming the park with themed attractions, decorations, and limited-time menus. Right now, the summer splash events are in full swing—bursting with energy, color, and delicious seasonal treats. This summer, USJ is bursting with daily splash events—hosts armed with water guns, surprise showers from above, and laughter echoing through the park. A playful celebration of summer that keeps you cool and smiling!
One Piece Straw Hat Crew UTAGE
The Discovery Restaurant in the Jurassic Park area has been transformed into a vibrant Straw Hat Crew feast hall, straight out of the One Piece world. As you step inside, you’re greeted by the familiar voices of Luffy and his crew—yes, their actual anime voice actors! It feels as if they’ve leapt off the screen and into the room, chatting and bantering in Japanese, creating a lively atmosphere that keeps you entertained throughout your meal.
The walls are adorned with iconic One Piece imagery, including the crew’s pirate flags and emblems. Fans dressed in character costumes often gather here, posing for photos with the Straw Hat mark and soaking in the immersive decor. It’s more than just a restaurant—it’s a celebration of the One Piece universe, where every detail invites you to become part of the adventure.
Every item on the menu at this restaurant is inspired by a member of the Straw Hat Crew—each dish carefully crafted and named to reflect their personality and favorite flavors.
Take “Nami’s Sparkling Citrus Parfait”, for example. It’s a refreshing, jewel-like dessert layered with citrus fruits and shimmering jelly, perfectly capturing Nami’s love for oranges and her radiant charm. Beautiful, bold, and irresistibly sweet—just like her.
Let me introduce you to some of the most interesting and character-rich dishes from this unforgettable pirate feast.
Luffy’s Power Beef Burger Set
Packed with beef, bacon, and sausage—this hearty burger screams “meat meat meat！” and features a pirate flag branding on the bun. Luffy’s love for meat is legendary—he’s always seen chomping into a giant bone-in roast at every feast. That spirit is captured perfectly in his burger set: a bold, hearty creation featuring a meaty bone right on the plate. But that’s just the beginning. The burger itself is stacked high with juicy beef, and crispy bacon sandwiched between fluffy buns branded with the Straw Hat mark. It’s a feast worthy of a future Pirate King—wild, satisfying, and unapologetically meaty.
Usopp’s Basil Tartar Fish Burger Set
A quirky combo of fish fillet, basil tartar sauce, and a croquette inspired by his Pop Green attack. The basil tartar sauce is incredibly flavorful—creamy, aromatic, and just the right balance of tang and herb. It’s so delicious, you’ll want to dip every single French fry into it! The deep-fried fish fillet is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, creating a satisfying contrast with the soft, fluffy buns. The textures and flavors come together beautifully—light, crunchy, and full of character. It’s a burger that’s both playful and refined, just like Usopp himself.
Franky’s Spicy Fried Chicken Burger Set
Bold and spicy, just like Franky himself—this burger is a flavor explosion. This one’s my personal favorite! The fried chicken is wonderfully spicy and extra crispy—so flavorful that you could enjoy it all on its own. But it doesn’t stop there. A mix of fresh vegetables adds a refreshing contrast, cleansing your palate with every bite and balancing the richness of the chicken. On the side, you’ll find tortilla chips, lightly salted and perfectly crunchy—just right for a little moment of pause between bites. Altogether, it’s a dish that’s bold, satisfying, and surprisingly well-balanced.
