We are excited to return to OC Japan Faire again on October 17-19, 2025!
This is the largest Japan-related event in Southern California, a legendary event that has been going on for 16 years.
The April 2025 event drew 52,000 visitors and maxed out the capacity of the Orange County Fairgrounds, resulting in sold-out tickets and many people being turned away. We had a booth in April, and you can read about it here.
We are honored to be back at this fantastic and fun event.
I hope you can join and stop by our booth (Booth #A5)

Pillow Talk (Booth #F51) @pillowtalk_pasadena
Their Egg Heaven is my personal favorite egg sandwich in the world. Their pastries are just amazing. We wrote about them here.

Wabi Sabi Sushi (Booth #F32) @sushi_wabisabi_oasobi
We were at the same event, LB Sake Day, hosted by Sake Secret this year (which you can read more about here), and his Sushi is fantastic!

Yatai.LA (Booth #F50) @yatai.la
Best Karagae you can find in LA in my opinion. They also have a booth at ROWS DTLA every Sunday so you might have tried them already.

Honda-ya (Booth #F37) @hondaya_ts_official
Our favorite Japanese famous comedian, Tamuken, is an ambassador, and if you are lucky, you may see him at the event. Last time we had a good talk and took a picture with him.
Here is a short recap video from the event in April 2025!
