There will be 17 food yatai or stalls, and one alcohol yatai for guests to enjoy. Traditional Japanese festival foods including yakitori chicken skewers, savory okonomiyaki pancakes, curry rice, ramen, yakisoba noodles and sushi will be served by local restaurants from their individual booths. Sweet treats such as kakigori shaved ice and baby castella cakes will also be available.
Live performances, including the popular hardcore techno sounds of "Repezen Foxx," will be a highlight. Repezen Foxx's music has become very well liked culturally in Japan, especially on YouTube, where they have over 3 million subscribers. Guests will be encouraged to enter the festival's cosplay costume competition. The winner of the competition will receive a prize of $1,000. Second and third place winners will both receive a surprise gift.
In addition to contemporary Japanese cultural performances, the festival will also showcase traditional musical and martial arts such as Taiko Japanese percussion and Karate. A mikoshi portable shrine will be paraded through the venue streets to ward off misfortune and wish happiness upon attendees. Admission to the festival is FREE.
The Japanese Restaurant Association of America has hosted the annual Japanese Food Festival at an indoor venue since its inception in 1999. Last year, the festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year's festival will follow COVID-19 protocols, and attendees will be asked to wear a mask.
