Brighton and Hove Japanese Club Open Day 2017

Thank you for coming to the sales at Brighton and Hove Japanese Club Open Day yesterday! As I guessed it was too busy to take any photos during the sales, so I borrowed some photos from Japanese Club's. Thank you.



You can see a bit of panicky feeling from these photos. ww
Almost all the time, there was a queue in front of us... (^_^;)

Most of sweets sold out before the half way of the sales... So sorry I could not make any more than those... (although I took more than 300 sweets.)

If you could not buy the sweets you were after, I will have the same sweets till the end of April at cafe an-an.

Cafe will be open on Saturdays till 15th April. Opening time will be extended on Saturdays, too. Please check before your visit.

And…。
There were a few customers asked about Strawberry Daifuku Mochi.
We are still waiting for tasty British strawberries in the market.
Till then, we still have a lot of spring sweets on sale. Please enjoy them for now.

The British strawberry season normally starts around late May to early June, but warm weather will bring tasty strawberry a bit earlier. Let's hope this spring will be a warm one.

March sweets and events

So, spring has comeーーー🌸
Well, I don't feel in that way as cold winds still blowing through the street in front of the cafe...
Storm Douris had gone with my cafe's outside tables blowing away into pieces...
On the other hand, snowdrops, crocus and daffodils are blooming brightly.

There are so many events in Japanese spring season.
