After sweet exhibition in Asahikawa, Domingo 2026
The 28th National Sweets Grand Exposition, Hokkaido – Asahikawa Sweets Exposition 2025, which took place last year, played a crucial role in preserving and advancing confectionery culture. The event also had a significant positive impact on the local economy and brought joy to many through the world of sweets. In order to build upon this success and pave the way for the future, as well as to support the confectionery industry and boost the local community, the upcoming “After Sweets Exposition Asahikawa 2026 SMILE SWEETS ASAHIKAWA” is set to take place.
One of the highlights of the event will be the Zenkoku Mogumogu Market, where confections that were best-sellers at the National Sweets Market during the 2025 Asahikawa Sweets Exposition will be available for purchase. Additionally, award-winning sweets will also be showcased, providing visitors with the opportunity to indulge in some of the finest treats from around the country.
For those with a sweet tooth, an all-you-can-eat sweets buffet will be a must-visit attraction. Guests can look forward to a wide variety of delectable treats such as cakes, baked goods, daifuku, and dango. The buffet will run for six sessions over the course of two days, promising a sugar-filled experience for all attendees.
Another exciting aspect of the event is the Nekketsu! Asahikawa Sweets Koshien, a competition that will see high school students partnering with local confectionery shops to create and sell their own unique sweets. The teams will be judged based on various criteria including sales volume, votes through the official LINE account, customer service, and creativity, making for a spirited contest that will showcase the talent and innovation of Asahikawa’s budding pastry chefs.
Children will have the opportunity to participate in a sweets making workshop led by skilled confectionery artisans, allowing them to learn the craft and create their own sweet masterpieces. In addition, a Craft Sweets Exhibition featuring a diverse display of Japanese and Western confections will be a treat for the eyes.
The event will also feature stage performances, food and drink stalls, and other outdoor activities to enhance the overall experience for visitors.
