Japanese Green Tea Company was honored to be part of the 2019 Japan Fair held in Seattle (Bellevue), WA, during the weekend of June 29th.
Here are pictures from this fun event!
What is Japan Fair
Japan Fair is a free, two-day festival in Bellevue, WA, that celebrates Japanese art and culture. Formerly known as "Aki Matsuri", Japan Fair is a communal endeavor of musicians, artisans, community organizations, and businesses from both Japan and the U.S. who come together to share their products, talents, and knowledge of Japan. Through live performances on stage, hands-on exhibits, cultural workshops, and vendor booths, the public is immersed in the music, dance, artisanry, and philosophy of Japan.
The fair is held in the middle of downtown Bellevue
