It's hard to talk about Japan without mentioning food. This year again, Petit Konbini and its partners are pulling out all the stops. Peko Peko is serving up its best curry rice, donburis, ramen, and karaage, while Kozmo is dishing out ultra-fresh makis and onigiris. Crown Tea delights with Japanese corn-dogs, takoyakis, and bubble tea, and a big surprise this year, Omo Omo is bringing delicious mochis and matcha desserts! And to toast Japanese-style, the bar will offer soft drinks and typical spirits.
Concerts, cinema-concert, and Japanese culture on the agenda!

This year, Petit Konbini is going all out to give you a true cultural immersion with exciting conferences and brand new shows.
The ciné-concert featuring "The Curse of the Yokai" promises a unique musical experience, blending traditional Japanese instruments with an electro twist. And on Sunday, get ready for the Zeppin group, specialists in minyo, the popular Japanese music, who will get you moving to the sounds of the shamisen and percussion.
As for the conferences, there will be something for every Japan enthusiast: the history of Japanese tattooing with Pascal Bagot, the cult of aesthetics at the Heian Court, the mysteries of Kintsugi, and even the secrets of Taiko with a live demonstration.
