What is Japan Food Fest?
Japan Food Fest is a passion project that started small in 2022 in Zug and has now grown into a three-day food festival in the center of Zürich in it's latest edition. Visitors explored Japanese street food and discovered cultural experiences. We are proud to share that the event is currently the only Japanese food focused event in Switzerland and the largest Japanese festival in Zürich.
For the first time, there will be two Japan Food Fest editions happening in the same year. Last Spring was our 5th edition that held in Halle 550 and then this autumn, Japan Food Fest is going back to where it started - in Canton Zug - at the beautiful Zug Lake Promenade.
