From sake and matcha tasting sessions to creative workshops teaching the ancient arts of origami and calligraphy, the Marché de la Condamine’s free and perennially popular Japanese Soirée will return at the end of this month.
On Wednesday 27 November, from 4pm until the evening, the Condamine Market, just off Place d’Armes, will host a special celebration of Japanese culture and cuisine for the public to enjoy entirely free of charge.
The artistic workshops will offer sessions on ikebana, a minimalist approach to flower arranging; origami; the art of kintsugi, a unique method of repairing pottery with intentionally visible cracks; calligraphy; and mindful colouring.
A section of the event will be dedicated to gastronomy, with stalls offering tastings of traditional Japanese ingredients such as matcha tea, sake and takoyaki.
Live music, featuring the traditional sounds of the Land of the Rising Sun, will begin around 7pm. Many of the local vendors and eateries will join in with the theme of the event by serving up Japanese-inspired cuisine in the food hall.
