Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

For people in Kansai, these commercials are a given, but folks from outside the region often say, “Huh, what’s that?” We’ve rounded up a collection of Kansai-only local commercials.

We’ve gathered lots of Kansai local ads—from nostalgic ones you remember seeing as a kid, to those no longer on air, to refreshed versions that are still beloved today.

Many of them are memorable, featuring catchy tunes you can’t help but hum along to and clever touches that make you chuckle.

As you watch, try counting how many of the commercials we’re about to introduce you already know!

Mizkan Pro-Use Flavor Shiro-Dashi “Shiro-Dashi Live” EditionFumiya Takahashi

The Flavor Pros Use: Shiro-dashi “Shiro-dashi Live” Version, Featuring Fumiya Takahashi [Official Mizkan]

In the commercial “Shirodashi Live” for white dashi made with free-range chicken broth, Fumiya Takahashi is shown cooking various dishes using white dashi.

From stir-fried vegetables and fried chicken to oyakodon and fried rice, the ad really conveys that it can be used in virtually any dish.

It’s an excellent commercial that communicates not only the deliciousness but also the versatility.
