Japan Centre is proud to announce our third Japan Food
Festival (JAFF), 27th July – 12th August at our Regent Street Store (Piccadilly
circus) in collaboration with the Fukuoka Chamber of Commerce and Industry!
Sample local produce from this fertile southern island,
never before sold in the UK! Get your hands on exclusive regional specialities
and experience the culinary diversity and beauty of Kyushu right here in
London. Featuring free tastings every day from 3 – 6pm the event features
limited edition Kyushu products for 2 weeks only, make sure you don’t miss out!
What’s On:
This year’s JAFF is dedicated to Kyushu, Japan’s third
largest island. At the event, selected regional culinary and cultural products
from Kyushu will be showcased. Delicacies that can be sampled include soups,
different kinds of sweet and savoury snacks, and a range of dressings and
sauces.
In addition to this, guests will be offered a variety of
teas, as well as a selection of alcoholic beverages, including Yuzu No Osake
(citrus liqueur made with shochu spirits and yuzu citrus) and Kuni No Kotobuki
Tokubetsu Junmai Yume Ikkon (Sake from Fukuoka with a rich rice flavour). Apart
from having an experience of Kyushu’s culinary heritage, this will also be an
opportunity for visitors to sample cosmetics and learn about how Japanese women
ensure to keep their gorgeous skin healthy and radiant. If you’re not able to
make it to Regent Street, some of these exclusive products will be available to
buy online during the event period too.
Yokaromon Kyushu!
Kyushu has been selected as JAFF’s special region for a
number of reasons: it is home to breath-taking and very diverse scenery, which
includes ancient forests, sandy beaches, sweeping mountains and active
volcanoes. These volcanoes are the reason why Kyushu is often referred to as
the hot spring capital of Japan. Thanks to its moderate climate and fertile
soil, the island is also rich in fresh produce. All this, together with the
island’s long history as a centre for international trade has made Kyushu a
true culinary melting pot.
Different food, drinks, items will be on offer to sample
everyday from 3-6pm, feel free to talk to the lovely staff for more details of
the all natural ingredients used from the Fukuoka region. They will be holding
another Food festival in October for another region incase you miss this one.
Come and join us at JAFF this summer, and sample the beauty
of Kyushu right here in London!
