Popular Drink Menu (11–20)
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
@harapeko_cats A drink arrangement by the foodie gang using kohakutou (amber sugar) and cotton candy 🍹 The cotton candy melts in an instant and delights anyone watching 🪄 Thanks to the sweetness of the kohakutou and cotton candy, it goes down refreshingly. For those with a sweet tooth, cider is recommended 🫧Kohakutou (Amber Sugar)Baking sweets#cottoncandy#cottoncandycotton candyKyotoAmber sugar drinkMail-order / Order for delivery#Mail-Order Gourmet
♪ Original song – eijun – eijun (parents’ home)
Do 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!
Fruit Aid
It would be great to create a photogenic item unlike anything we’ve had at the school festival before, right? That’s why I’d like to introduce fruit ade.
“Ade” is a drink made by adding sugar to carbonated water.
Fruit ade is ade with raspberries, kiwi, lemon, and other fruits added.
Fruit ade is currently popular among young people in Korea, and more shops in Japan are starting to offer it as well.
With its cool appearance and refreshing aftertaste, it’s perfect for a summer school festival! If you want to add an extra touch, decorating with herbs is also recommended!
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!
fresh spring rolls
Fresh spring rolls are a popular item at izakayas.
They look great, and it’s nice that you can easily enjoy vegetables.
Another plus is that there are no fixed rules for the fillings, so you can get creative.
Prepare lettuce, avocado, tomato, salmon, cheese, and so on, and wrap them in rice paper.
Soften the rice paper in lukewarm water before placing the ingredients on it and rolling.
To keep it from sticking to the surface, lightly coat it with water and oil before laying down the wrapper.
For the sauce, mix mayonnaise with sweet chili sauce.
