We will have a booth at the OC Japan Faire October 17 - 19 2025

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)

As always, we will have a little surprise at the booth!

We are also releasing a brand new tea and snacks that we have not published before!  Be one of the first to try them out!

I also want to give a shout-out to our friends who will be attending the event.

We love them!

  • 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!

Matcha and Chasen Whisk Gift Set

$74.00 $66.00
Quick view

This set features a premium matcha made from the finest Japanese green tea, cultivated in soil enriched with compostable grasses and sugarcane to bring out a natural sweetness. In collaboration with researchers from Shizuoka University, farmers carefully study soil conditions to enhance flavor quality. The tea plants are shaded before harvest to increase caffeine and amino acid content, then skillfully dried, de-stemmed, and ground into a fine powder, creating a matcha with a luxurious aroma and taste highly regarded by top Japanese chefs.

Paired with the matcha is a traditional 100-prong bamboo chasen whisk, considered the highest-grade among matcha tools. Unlike common 40-60 prong versions, this finely crafted whisk is widely used in high-end tea ceremonies in Japan. Its balanced dimensions offer the perfect design for preparing a smooth and frothy bowl of authentic matcha.

Hojicha Powder - Roasted Green Tea Powder

$25.00
Quick view

Our roasted green tea, known as hojicha (ほうじ茶), is crafted from freshly harvested premium green tea carefully roasted in porcelain over charcoal to maximize flavor while retaining more catechins than typical hojicha on the market. With lower caffeine and a smoother, less bitter taste compared to steamed green tea, it is an ideal choice for evening relaxation and is gentle enough for kids and pregnant women. Cultivated using the Chagusaba method in nutrient-rich sugarcane soil, this loose-leaf authentic Japanese roasted green tea, made from the Yabukita cultivar, also pairs beautifully with oily foods. Each eco-friendly resealable package contains 3.5 oz (100g) of tea, enough to steep 30–40 comforting cups.
