The “Ankoppe” sandwich set, which sold out immediately last year, will also be available again!

In conjunction with the Takada Joshi Park Cherry Blossom Viewing Party in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, the annual “Takada Honcho Spring Festa” will be held on Sunday, April 7 in the Honcho shopping district of Joetsu City.

The centerpiece event of the Takada Honcho Spring Festa is the Bread Festival, which attracts a large crowd every year.

A record 17 stores from Joetsu City and Myoko City, as well as Kashiwazaki City, Nagaoka City, and Suzaka City in Nagano Prefecture will participate.
Four of these stores are opening for the first time: HOBARU Joetsu Store (Kitamoto-cho, Joetsu City), Biwajima Bakery (Kashiwazaki City), Takada Commercial High School RIKKA (Joetsu City), and anello (Honmachi, Joetsu City).

Last year’s bread festival

This year’s theme is “Anko” and each store will prepare and sell at least one type of bread using anko (red bean paste), which is their specialty.
The Towa-kai Takada Branch, a research group of Japanese confectionery artisans, is once again offering a popular product that sold out immediately last year.
“Ankoppe,” a set of six Japanese confectionery stores’ anko (sweet bean paste) sandwiched between miniature coppie buns, will be available for purchase.

In addition, a special sales corner under the arcade in the Honcho shopping arcade will be lined with a wide variety of breads that each store boasts of.

Last year’s bread festival

Participating stores will be open only in the morning, afternoon, or all day, with hours differing depending on the store. Bread will be sold out as soon as it is sold out.

In addition, the “Nagatsukue Marche” will be held in front of each participating store in the Honcho 3, 4, and 5-chome shopping streets.
The 19 participating stores will sell daily necessities, seasonal products, and other special items at their storefronts.

The popular annual “Doggy Stamp Rally” will also be held on the same day, which you can enjoy while taking a walk with your dog.
Visitors who register at Asutopia Takada 1st floor during the event hours and visit all the stamp points in Takada Honmachi Shopping Arcade will receive strolling goods (manner bags, etc.).
There will also be a photo spot where you can take pictures with your dog.

During the Takada Joshi Park Cherry Blossom Viewing Party, restaurants in the Honcho Shopping Arcade sell “take-out hanami bento” (cherry blossom viewing lunchboxes).
Don’t miss out on this special menu, which is available only during this season.
