BORN from a simple desire for connection, the Geelong Japanese Festival will return to the Geelong Showgrounds this month.<\/p>\n

Set for 18 April, the event invites visitors to experience omotenashi \u2013 the spirit of Japanese hospitality \u2013 in the heart of the region.<\/p>\n

The festival emerged in the wake of the pandemic, when members of the local Japanese community recognised a strong appetite for connection and cultural exchange.<\/p>\n

Japanese Association of Geelong president Tomomi Ishii said the foundations were already in place.<\/p>\n

“Geelong has a long-standing history of international trade and a formal sister city relationship in Japan,” Ishii said.<\/p>\n

“We wanted to create an annual ‘home’ for that relationship and then came the Geelong Japanese Festival.<\/p>\n

“There is a unique energy that builds when you’re preparing to share your heart and culture with your neighbours.”<\/p>\n

This year’s theme, People-to-People Collection, highlights the role of community in shaping the festival, with volunteers and organisers working behind the scenes to bring it together.<\/p>\n

“Our committee and volunteers have been working tirelessly on everything from coordinating authentic food stalls to organising the Kagamibiraki [sake barrel ceremony],” Ishii said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Seeing the community come together like this makes every hour of planning worth it.”<\/p>\n

The program will feature the thunder of the JAG Taiko Team, a popular cosplay contest and a wide range of cultural experiences, but for many, the Taste of Japan remains the biggest drawcard.<\/p>\n

Alongside favourites like okonomiyaki, this year’s menu introduces a Japanese twist on a local festival staple \u2013 the spiral-cut “twist potato”, topped with flavours including aonori (seaweed), miso glaze and Japanese mayonnaise.<\/p>\n

“It’s the perfect example of how our festival connects local Geelong tastes with authentic Japanese soul,” Ishii said.<\/p>\n

“It’s a literal ‘twist’ on tradition that really represents the creative connection between our cultures.”<\/p>\n

The festival will take place from 10am to 4pm and is free to attend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
