The biennial fair "Island Jiman 2016", where you can enjoy dishes and sweets made with special products of the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands, will be held for two days on May 28 and 29, at Takeshiba Wharf, Takeshiba Pier, Minato-ku, Tokyo. Held at the passenger ship terminal.

At the fair, "Island Jewelery Sweets", which was developed based on the concept of "I want to make sweets that make girls feel good", will appear. The sugar confectionery "Amber Sugar", which is characterized by its jewel-like glittering appearance and crispy texture, is arranged in a shape and taste associated with the Izu Islands and the Ogasawara Islands. In addition to the "highest grade" gelidiaceae from the Izu Islands and high-purity sugar, they are said to be finished with plenty of special products from each island.

A total of 9 types are available, including those with the beautiful camellia flowers of Toshima as a motif, those with the image of swordfish, which is a symbolic fish of Kozushima, and those using whole fruit lemons of Hachijojima. The price is 250 yen each, and the "9 Island Gift Box (with original handbag)" that is packed with each is 2,000 yen (both including tax).
