"Japan's Largest Creator Festival" "Handmade in Japan Festival 2016" was held at Tokyo Big Sight (Minato-ku, Tokyo) on July 23rd and 24th.
"Japan's largest creator festival"
The Handmade in Japan Festival is an event where creators from all over the country gather to display and sell original works such as art, miscellaneous goods, and interiors.
Approximately 4,500 booths will be exhibited in the market area this year (total for 2 days). In addition, workshops where visitors can participate and live performances by music artists were held.
Workshops such as painting Dharma
In addition, a new "Food & Cafe Area" has appeared from this time. There are booths where bread and sweets are sold by the makers.

● What kind of food do you have?
Bread, cookies, muffins and other baked goods were often seen. In addition, coffee, tea, jam, ice cream, granola, etc. were seen. Many shops distribute tastings.

Also, next to the booth, there is a cafe area where you can sit on a chair and eat what you purchased. Many seats were occupied at noon.

● I bought this
Introducing the two items that I actually purchased.
One is the "Kacha Mikiya" cheesecake exhibited from Hyogo. It seems that it is a product that has been ranked first in the creator ranking and food category by Creamer. This kind of display is eye-catching, isn't it?
Cheesecake ranked first in the creamer ranking
From the lineup of cheesecakes made from various ingredients such as tea, bananas, and citrus fruits, choose one with strawberries.
Cheesecake with strawberries
The cheese dough has a moist texture like steaming. The sweetness is modest, and it has a good balance with the firm sweetness of the base. Sweet and sour strawberries add an accent. Delicious!
The other is "Smoked olive oil" from "Country Jam" exhibited by Shiga. Italian olive oil is smoked for 15 hours in a unique way and seasoned with basil or black pepper.
When you put it on bread and eat it, you will be surprised at the rich smoked flavor! I think it's irresistible for smokers. It can be used as a dressing for vegetables or for scenting the finish of pasta.
The smoked scent that comes with a sizzle is irresistible!
● Summary
Meet unexpected items and shop while interacting with the creators. In the food area, I enjoyed the same way as in the market area.
The Handmade in Japan Festival is sponsored by "Creema," which operates a marketplace with the same purpose on the Web. So some things can be purchased with a creamer after the event. The food category has just joined this April.
If you are good at cooking and want more people to eat it, why not put it up for sale at Creamer? Also, if you like to order delicious food, you can meet various foods with Creamer!
