FOOMA JAPAN 2026 to Showcase Next-Generation Solutions Shaping the Future of Food Processing and Global Quality Standards
TOKYO — The Japan Food Machinery Manufacturers’ Association (FOOMA) will host FOOMA JAPAN 2026, one of the world’s largest comprehensive food processing exhibitions, from June 2 to 5, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight. Under the theme “The Shift is On,” the event will feature a record 1,025 exhibitors and over 7,000 products, presenting a concrete vision for the future of the food industry, and feature an “Innovation Program” focused on automation, digital transformation (DX), and robotics.
As the global popularity of Japanese cuisine continues to expand, replicating authentic taste and quality remains a significant challenge for international food manufactures. Japanese food processing technology offers a definitive solution to this issue through its specialized ability to handle wide-variety, low-volume production while maintaining delicate textures and presentation. These technologies provide long-term value by improving safety, yield, and operational stability through manpower-saving automation. Global adoption of these systems is accelerating, enabling manufacturers to scale production capacity and ensure consistent quality standards that align with traditional Japanese culinary requirements.

The exhibition covers 21 diverse categories, providing a comprehensive assembly of all technologies required for modern food processing facilities. Exhibits will range from uniquely Japanese specialized machinery, such as sushi and rice ball (onigiri) processing machines and bento box assembly systems, alongside advanced freezing technologies and AI-driven foreign matter detection systems designed for labor efficiency.
Leading international participants include a French twin-screw extruder specialist, US bakery and snack suppliers, and German and Dutch firms showcasing hygienic design and automated packaging. Alongside Japanese precision engineering, they present global solutions for modern food processing challenges.
A Global Information desk and export-exhibitor maps will support international visitors.
