🌸 We would like to bring Japan closer to people in Switzerland 🌸

🌸 Sharing Japanese culture with people in Switzerland for the long term 🌸

Hello,
Thank you very much for your continued support.

Today, I would like to share some important information about the **Japan Food Fest** and how I will be participating in this event.


① This time, I will participate not with sushi, but with a “Matcha & Mochi Workshop”

At this year’s **Japan Food Fest**,
I will be participating not with a sushi stand, but with a Matcha & Mochi Workshop.

▶ Event details and online registration

クラス予約


For this special occasion,
the workshop includes the entrance ticket plus a bamboo whisk (chasen) as a gift — a saving of CHF 30 compared to the regular price.


🍡 A day to eat, enjoy, and experience

At the venue, you will be able to taste a variety of Japanese foods, such as
takoyaki and taiyaki, which many people may not have tried before.

Enjoy lunch at the festival first, and then
join the Matcha & Mochi Workshop from 15:30.

In addition,
I will also be singing karaoke on stage from 15:00.
It will be a fun and lively time that we can enjoy together.


📍 Venue & Date

The event will take place at Halle 550 in Zurich Oerlikon,
a convenient location close to the station.

📅 Saturday, April 4
🌸 During the Easter period


A lovely spring moment —
why not enjoy Japanese culture and Japanese food together at the Japan Food Fest?

I am very much looking forward to meeting you at the venue.
Please feel free to join us.


② A request regarding the crowdfunding campaign ending on Sunday

This year’s **Japan Food Fest** is being prepared through a crowdfunding campaign,
led mainly by the organizer, Pia.

This crowdfunding follows an all-or-nothing format,
which means that if the target amount is not reached, all contributions will be refunded.

Thanks to your support, we have currently reached 80% of the goal,
but we still need the remaining 20%.

To ensure that this event does not end as a one-time occasion,
and to continue sharing Japanese culture in Switzerland for many years to come,
your support is truly essential.

If you feel that
“You would like to support the Japan Food Fest” or
“You want to help pass Japanese culture on to the future,”
we would be deeply grateful for your support.

A Japanese experience combining matcha, mochi making, and mindfulness meditation

Mochi & Matcha Class – Tuesday Evening

Our Tuesday evening class was a wonderful success! We began with a fun quiz about matcha and the tea ceremony, followed by making delicious mochi. After that, I offered a tea ceremony demonstration, and everyone had the chance to whisk their own matcha. Finally, we ended the evening with Mindfulness Meditation for Stress Reduction, creating a calm and refreshing close to the class.

Many thanks to everyone who joined—your smiles made the evening truly special.

matcha workshop with mochi making and a tea ceremony

I gave a matcha workshop with mochi making and a tea ceremony for 20 people from a consulting firm in a hotel at the Zurich airport.

We enjoyed 10 Quizzes and made Mochi with Anko-Paste and strawberries (Ichigo-Daifuku, いちご大福).

In the end, we made matcha tea on our own and did 3 minutes of meditation. Thank you so much! @deloitte_switzerland @deloitte

Until now, it was the most significant moment of this year!
