Chiba Tsukutabe Kitchen

Chiba Tsukutabe Kitchen (千葉つくたべキッチン) is a food and beverage outlet located inside ZOZO Marine Stadium in Mihama-ku, Chiba City, Japan. It has operated at the ballpark for more than three decades, with the venue describing it as a beloved fixture of the stadium for 31 years and as a local veteran shop serving fans since 1996. Its stated theme since founding has been to let visitors fully enjoy Chiba City, and its menu is built around local ingredients and local producer collaborations. The kitchen is positioned as a stadium concession rather than a standalone restaurant. It sits on the second floor behind the backstop at ZOZO Marine Stadium, home of the Chiba Lotte Marines, and serves spectators during games. Its menu mixes hearty ballpark staples with Chiba-branded dishes: the signature Chiba motsu nikomi (offal stew), Tsukutabe pork curry, Katsu curry, Chiba mori yakisoba, and Chiba motsu nikomi rice, alongside sides such as hot dogs, shaka-shaka potato, fried konoshiro from Makuhari, and a range of soft-serve desserts including the Chiba purin soft. All white rice used is Chiba City-grown 'Wakaba no Mai'. The brand emphasizes local sourcing and collaboration. New items for the 2026 season include a ham steak skewer developed with Chiba City butcher Chef Meat Chigusa, and a curry rice cracker from Chiba City's Takosaku Honpo. It also offers player collaboration menu items tied to the Marines. The outlet accepts various cashless payment methods, participates in the M Point loyalty program, and maintains a pamphlet corner with Chiba City tourism information. It promotes itself through a YouTube channel branded 'since 1996' and an X (Twitter) account linked to the Chiba City Tourism Association. Chiba Tsukutabe Kitchen appears in the Chiba City Tourism Association's official tourism guide as a spot entry, reflecting its role as both a stadium concession and a local food ambassador. Its address is given as Mihama 1, Mihama-ku, Chiba City, with telephone and fax number 043-211-8877.
