Japanese desserts have always been in the spotlight, but they're really having a moment right now. Between the recently opened Warabimochi Kamakura store, TikTok-viral jiggly cat pudding, and even a pink-themed Sakura Festival Buffet, we're definitely spoiled for choice!
To make choosing even harder, check out the new ISETAN Scotts & Supermarket Sweets Fair! From now till 7 March 2024, this event space will be packed with stalls offering popular and authentic Japanese snacks, including fresh fruit gelato, warabimochi, Tokyo Banana, taiyaki, and more.
Read on to see what you can find at this sweets fair.
