The Super Japan Matsuri is actually part of ‘Super Japan’ ; a new cultural festival produced by the Esplanade. The Super Japan Festival encompasses 10 days of performances and festivities that spotlights on the arts, cultures and unique traditions of Japan. Everything ranging from traditional to contemporary and even pop culture will make it’s way into the festival as the Esplanade celebrates its 14th year of collaboration  with Japanese artists and art groups. The festival is also a celebration of Singapore and Japan’s golden jubilee in diplomatic relations. Talk about killing multiple birds with one stone!

Food

Everyone’s favourite Japanese street food such as Takoyaki, Baby Castella, Okonomiyaki and soft serve ice cream is expected to be at the event. For the matured attendees, yes, there’s Japanese Sake too hehe. I’m guessing Yakisoba would make it’s appearancealong with lots of Dangos (Japanese dumplings) variety. These are just my wishes though! Hopefully, the venue wouldn’t mark the cost of these munchies too high.
