Popular Drink Menu (11–20)
Heart Drink
The heart mark that everyone loves.
It’s been used as a symbol for the heart since long ago, but did you know that shape also appears in Japanese architecture? When used in openwork carvings and the like, it’s called “inome,” which literally means “boar’s eye”—an intriguing name, isn’t it? If you made a drink covered in cute hearts like that, you’d be a surefire hit at a school festival! The showstopper is creating a big heart mark on the side of the glass with cream or melted marshmallow.
Add heart-shaped chocolates or cookies to finish it off as a lovely, love-themed drink!
Fruits in tea
On hot days, drinks really fly off the shelves.
So here’s a photogenic fruit-infused iced tea to showcase.
Arrange round slices of fruit to decorate a clear cup—lemon and grapefruit work great.
Add ice to hold the fruit in place, pour in iced tea, then top it off with diced fruit.
Dried fruits and nuts are also popular additions.
Adjust the sweetness with honey or syrup to make it a hit with everyone.
You can also switch it up with colored sodas—have fun experimenting!
A drink with amber sugar and cotton candy
https://www.tiktok.com/@harapeko_cats/video/7334579956242042119Do you know the Japanese confection called kohakutou (amber sugar)? If you like traditional sweets, you’ve probably tried it at least once.
It’s a simple, old-fashioned treat made by dissolving sugar and food coloring into agar.
If you increase the agar and make it softer like yokan, it becomes a sweet called kohakukan.
Kinda makes you crave some, doesn’t it? How about offering a colorful drink that uses kohakutou? Combine it with colored ice or jelly to boost the visual appeal! It’s sure to catch everyone’s eye.
And make good use of the effect of dissolving cotton candy, too!
chai tea
A stylish chai tea with a special feel would probably be popular if you sold it at a school festival booth.
If you want to set up a booth at the festival, let’s discuss and decide on things like the menu, toppings, and whether to offer iced or hot versions as we plan.
It might also help the service run smoothly on the day if you decide in advance which spices to use for the chai.
Offering sweetness levels—less sweet, regular, or sweeter—could make it easier for customers to choose.
Recommended toppings include cinnamon powder, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream!
Mango yogurt
Refreshing and visually appealing, mango yogurt seems like it would be a hit at a school festival.
Let’s make it with plain yogurt, diced mango, and mango sauce.
If you use frozen mango, you might be able to enjoy a nicely chilled mango yogurt.
Pre-cut frozen mango is available year-round and saves you the prep work of cutting, so it’s recommended.
Using a clear cup may also let you enjoy the beautiful mango yogurt gradient.
No-cook snacks and light bites (1–10)
Popcorn
Popcorn, famous as a snack with alcohol and as a movie theater companion.
Some people are passionate popcorn lovers, but for most of us, isn’t it something we rarely eat outside of the cinema? There was even a time when slightly pricey popcorn with all sorts of flavors was a big trend.
With individually packaged popcorn, you don’t need to use any heat, it’s light, and it’s perfect for when you just want a little snack.
Savory, sweet—maybe having both would be nice!
Whole cucumber pickles
Since many street food stall menus are quite greasy, a refreshing dish like this might surprisingly attract a lot of attention.
Cut off both ends of the cucumber and peel it with a peeler.
Don’t remove all the skin—leave about half on.
Peel it with a striped pattern in mind.
Put the cucumbers into a sealable bag, add sliced red chili peppers and white dashi, and let the flavors soak in.
When serving, insert a pair of chopsticks through the center to create a handle.
