Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) Tokyo Branch, led by Kazuo Kato, is set to host an exciting event on August 6th and 7th at the Takano Fruits Parlor in Shinjuku, specifically designed for elementary school students and their parents. This event is particularly special as it marks the first collaboration with Ukiha City in Fukuoka Prefecture.

At this event, participants will have a chance to create delicious decorated cakes, parfaits, and tartlets. Led by the chief couturier of Takano Fruits Parlor, families will engage in the joys of dessert-making, featuring local fruits like the 'Kyohou' grapes and 'Kousui' pears from Ukiha City. The fruits used in this event are sourced as part of JAF's cooperative initiatives with local municipalities, enhancing the experience while promoting regional specialties.
