Matsuri 2013


IMG_00000915


A couple of weeks ago, I posted a blog about my visit to the Speciality and Fine Food Fair, where I got an invite to this year's Japan Matsuri from the Wagashi Japanese Bakery which was scheduled to take place on Saturday 5th October, 2013 at London Trafalgar Square.
Prior to this, I had never heard of this event before.  And as I later found out, following some research on my part, the Matsuri is a celebration of Japanese culture which brings people together to enjoy a spectacular variety of entertainments and foods. And this is the second consecutive year that the Matsuri took place at the Trafalgar Square. Previous years' venues have included the Old Spitalfields Market and the County Hall (behind the London Eye).
On the D-day, I set off without any idea of what to expect although I was sure I was in for a fantastic time.
