I watch the food network 24 hrs. a day, so I'm definitely going to try to go (... or eventually watch it on the Food Network).
That's sad, Lily. I think you NEED to get out more!
Yeah, you should get out and check out Umaimono (delicious foods), Lily. Deka Kintsuba sounds really yummy.
I went to the event last year.
There are so many sweets directly from Japan and many demonstrations.
My husband was excited to be able to buy his childhood favorite from his hometown.
It is difnately worth going!
