Why You Should Visit
A two-day gathering of roasters and chocolatiers who care about where their beans and cacao come from and how they are roasted and blended, held on B1 of Miyako Messe in Okazaki. Sixty-nine vendors take part: 20 hand-drip coffee stands, 37 bean-to-bar chocolate makers, 10 bakers and sweet shops, and 2 goods stalls, coming from Aomori to Okinawa and even Colombia and Indonesia. It is a festival about the story behind each cup and each bar, with free entry and going ahead rain or shine. Easy to pair with a day around the Okazaki museums.
