Golden Week is almost here!
A lot of you are probably still thinking about what to do. Maybe a picnic with family or friends, or a lively party at home. And some of you may be heading back to visit grandma and grandpa with the grandkids, wondering what gifts to bring.
So!
This time, the GW Food Appreciation Festival is starting at Hanshin Nishinomiya from April 29(Wed., national holiday) to May 12(Tue.)!
There’ll be a fresh whole bluefin tuna cutting sale, a domestic Japanese Black wagyu whole-cow sale, gift sweets, Children’s Day cakes, and Mother’s Day feasts. Basically everything you need for a day when everyone gathers is all here.
There are so many special events during the festival that we can’t write them all down! Let’s go through them one by one.
The Fresh Whole Bluefin Tuna Cutting Sale is on 5/2(Sat.)
The biggest highlight during the festival has to be…
the fresh whole bluefin tuna cutting sale
It starts at 11:00 a.m. on May 2(Sat.)! A skilled fishmonger will cut up a huge tuna right before your eyes. It’s a powerful event that happens only once during the festival. Both adults and kids will be glued to the action.
