Rice crackers, panda-shaped cookies, and other uniquely Japanese treats will be available at a sampling event at Tanaka Farms Pumpkin Patch on October 26-27 We are delighted to have our visitors try Japanese snacks at Tanaka Farms, enhancing our commitment to providing educational and cultural experiences for children and families.”

— Farmer Kenny Tanaka ORANGE COUNTY, CA, UNITED STATES, October 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Japan Food Product Overseas Promotion Center (JFOODO) has launched promotional activities to introduce Japanese snacks and other products popular among tourists visiting Japan to US consumers.

According to Japan Tourism Agency, over 70% of tourists to Japan return home with Japanese confections, and 20% report it as the souvenir with which they are most satisfied.

As its first initiative, JFOODO will exhibit a booth of Japanese snacks at the Southern California venue Tanaka Farms Pumpkin Patch, on October 26th (Saturday) from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. and 27th (Sunday) from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (PDT).

While Halloween is often associated with candy and chocolate, this event will also promote unique Japanese snacks like "senbei" (rice crackers) alongside Japanese chocolate snacks. The event will be the first of its kind at Tanaka Farms, and the organizers have expressed a desire to provide visitors with a unique opportunity to taste Japanese snacks.
