The “2022 Kobe Higashinada Sweets Tour,” a rally event featuring attractive Japanese and Western confectionery stores in Higashinada Ward, Kobe City, will start on October 15 this year as well. The period will last until November 23.
This event started in 2011 to promote the appeal of Mikage and Okamoto, which are home to famous sweets stores and fashionable cafes, and has become a popular annual autumn event. This year, 40 stores are participating in the event, offering a lineup of sweets limited to this time of the year, and visitors can enjoy “autumn of appetite” by shopping and collecting stamps.
In the stamp rally project, visitors will visit three of the 40 stores to collect stamps. Visitors who show their stamp rally screen will receive goods made in collaboration with “Kobe Tartan,” a condensed version of Kobe’s image colors such as the sea blue of Minato Kobe and the green of Mount Rokko (first 20 visitors from each store).
In addition, the top 20 people who earn the most stamps will receive a VISA gift card worth 10,000 yen. The top 20 winners will be chosen by lottery if there are many winners with the same number of stamps.
During the period, there will also be weekly events where visitors can enjoy a sweets-making experience and lectures on sweets. Applications for the November event are currently being accepted through October 10. If there are too many applicants, a drawing will be held.
The organizer says, “Kobe Higashinada Sweets Tour, an annual autumn event in Higashinada Ward, is finally starting! There will be a lot of activities including a limited event only this year and a stamp rally with increased power. Please enjoy the special sweets that you can only taste in Higashinada this fall.
I
can’t stop talking about the charms of Higashinada’s sweets stores, such as cakes with exquisite sweetness and lightness of cream, or exquisite Japanese sweets that go well with Japanese tea.
