On Sunday the 27th of July I attended Hyper Japan at Earls Court exhibition center. This event was on from the Friday and I believe is it's 6th year in running this expo! Hyper Japan is the UK's biggest Japanese culture event which mainly focuses on fashion, cuisine, tradition, music and entertainment! Whether you went for the video games or the food or picking up ultra-kawaii things, there was something for everybody!
I had a really good time and the dear friends I went with heightened my experience as it was nice to go to an exhibition where all of us were interested in Japanese culture. I loved walking around and seeing all the crazy cute things that Japan is famous for, seeing new video games and being able to try out One Piece Unlimited World Red (which happens to be my all time favourite anime) and sampling the food! I actually was dying for some Takoyaki, which is basically a ball shaped snack made of wheat flour batter and is filled with diced octopus, which then has a takoyaki sauce drizzled over it and sprinkled with shavings of dried bonito! It is so yum (I can see why Luffy loves it)!
I think anyone who knows me, knows how much of a big love I have for Totoro. It is my favourite character of all time and so when I got to meet Totoro (well a man dressed in a totoro costume) it was like the best thing ever! I was so excited :D
and ontop of Totoro... I maybe slightly obsessed with Pandas ^_^ I mean what's not to love about them! So when I saw this adorable panda (man in a costume) I had to get a photo with it!!!!
Hyper Japan is next here from the 14th-16th of November for their Christmas Market, so make sure you head on up for an amazing experience. You can find out more information here
