Hyper Japan isn't strictly a food and drink festival, but Tasting Britain got the invite down due to ‘Eat-Japan' - Hyper Japan's food court and rather authentic source of Japanese food and drink. For those who don't know stuff about Hyper Japan, it's probably the UK's biggest Japanese culture festival. Three days of anime, J-Pop gigs, sake tastings, people dressed as Naruto, video gaming, martial arts demos, sushi and me and my friends (which is not actually an ‘attraction' but I'd like to think we're attractive anyway).
Hyper Japan started in 2012 and as of this year (I think), has been held at the O2 Arena in Canary Wharf. The atmosphere is vibrant, the sun is shining, the people are kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiii and Mio Sparkling Sake are a sponsor (I have not yet met a person who hasn’t enjoyed Mio). Highlights from the event included the Sake Experience (basically a whirlwind tasting tour of a number of different sakes from a number of different breweries - strong) and watching two of the guys from X Japan run through their soundcheck (the great thing about soundchecks is that it’s basically watching the band play without having to put up with the crowds). Another highlight was a SPLENDID Team Rocket cosplay (Pokemon) - lord knows how long it took them to get that right but I took a few thousand pictures (not literally) because that level of attention to detail requires some respect!
I got a lot of love for Japan, Japanese people and Japanese culture, and will most certainly come back next year if I get the chance to. I have been told that I missed an opportunity to witness ‘air conditioned trousers’ so if anything that’s a good enough reason. Well done, Hyper Japan 2015! See you at Christmas?
A few photos from Hyper Japan event in Earls court London. I didn't take as many this year as last few years as I had a chance to look round a bit more.
This is a Hyper Stereo 3D Photo in Clifton Park in Rotherham. This is the Garden of Remembrance, on a spring day like this, it has to be one of the most pleasant in Britain.
