Kobe Sweets Festa 2009
AdvertisementPlease indulge my off-topicness for a minute or two as I talk about the Kobe Sweets Festa 2009, an annual cake fair in Kobe.
Their Kobe Sweets blog (Japanese only) introduces many of the patisseries that will be exhibiting their wares at the Festa, to be held on the 8th and 9th floors of Daimaru Motomachi between the 1st and 6th of May 2009. Koeb has a lot of very, very good cake shops, so be sure to find some time during Golden Week to pop down for a cup of tea and cake.
Next Satuday they are having a tasting session, so they need to borrow a few bloggers’ stomachs for the task, so I’d like to put my name forward as willing to stuff my gob full of cake for the benefit of my readers. It’s just one of these hardships I have to put myself though to keep my readers entertained.
I’ve had a wee word with Shane at Nihon Sun, and she would be happy to host me as a guest blogger talking about the event, introducing Kobe Sweets Festa to the English-speaking world.

My fingers are crossed that you get to participate! I hope you have a camera person lined up for the event – I want to see the pictures because we all know they are worth 1,000 words
Shane, I got selected
The invite doesn’t clearly state if it’s one or two people that can go along, but if it’s two, then my wife will no doubt take copious amounts of photos. Looking forward to it too.
Great news Ken! I’m sure your audience would love to see you with cake on your face so I hope your wife gets to attend
Hi there, congratulations for getting selected. I wasn’t aware of this tasting session and also about this festival. Looking forward on your further comments on how the tasting session goes. Wish I was able to attend but it was already too late by the time I read your blog. Have fun…
