Yes, the fifth Japan Food Festival (JAFF) is now here! From the 10th – 30th June online at Japancentre.com and at our Regent Street store we are showcasing regional produce from the Hokuriku region in northwest Japan in collaboration with the Hokuriku Bank.

Not only will this be a chance to try exclusive produce never before sold in the UK, we will also be showcasing these regional specialities, such as miso, ramen and sake in free tastings every day from 2:30pm at our Regent Street store.

If you’re not based in London, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out! All the tasty treats being showcased in JAFF: Hokuriku are now available online at Japancentre.com. You can also check out all the delicious offerings out in our JAFF: Hokuriku leaflet.
