Summary of unusual foods we want to serve at the school festival’s food stalls (61–70)
letter churros
Make visitors want to share on social media! Here are some fun ideas for letter-shaped churros.
When you think of churros, you probably imagine long sticks or teardrop shapes.
Letter churros, as the name suggests, are designed by forming letters out of churro dough.
You can also make cute motifs like hearts and stars.
Adding vibrant colors to the churros will make them even more eye-catching.
Set up a system where visitors can order their favorite motifs or letters, and encourage them to share their creations!
Ice tongue flu
https://www.tiktok.com/@kitchen_kanakana/video/7381391861664976146Let’s steal the spotlight at your school festival with “ice tanghulu,” a hugely popular Korean sweet! Prepare your favorite fruits and skewer them so they’re easy to hold.
Put the skewers together in a bag or container and freeze them, then simply dip them in ice water to finish.
Hearing that, you might wonder: if there’s no flavoring, what makes it so popular? The trick is that dipping in ice water creates a thin icy glaze on the fruit.
That light, crackly texture is addictive.
If you use brightly colored fruits, they’ll look fantastic and be perfect for social media, too!
sweet red bean soup with mochi (zenzai)
Warm treats are perfect for a school festival in the cold season! After filling up on yakisoba or takoyaki, you naturally start craving something sweet.
How about some warm zenzai? You can offer a variety of options, like shiratama zenzai with chewy rice dumplings or chestnut zenzai with hearty chunks of chestnut.
Served in cups, they’re easy to carry around, making them ideal for a festival where you want to stroll and see everything.
Give it a try and make a sweet that will warm both hands and heart!
Dalgona coffee
If you’re aiming for something that pops on social media, dalgona coffee is a great choice! It became a hot topic after being featured by many YouTubers and Instagrammers.
Its cute appearance and rich flavor really stand out.
Despite that, the ingredients are surprisingly simple—milk, instant coffee, sugar, and hot water—so anyone can make it easily.
Being cost-effective is important for school festivals and cultural festivals, too.
If you serve it alongside eye-catching exhibits, I think it’ll really liven things up!
Pinsa
It’s a dish that originated in ancient Rome and became the prototype of pizza.
While you can get deep into details like the type of flour used for the dough, to put it simply, it’s a “small pizza.” It has a stylish vibe and is easy to eat on the go, making it well-suited for school festivals and cultural festivals.
Deep-fried soba noodles with thick sauce
If you serve a truly authentic crispy soba with thick sauce, it’s sure to be a hit.
Of course, regular ankake yakisoba is fine too, but this time I’d like to show a Japanese-style twist.
The method is simple: deep-fry soba noodles as they are, and you’re set.
They turn out astonishingly crisp! Then just sauté some vegetables and meat, pour the sauce over, and it’s done.
Compared to standard ankake yakisoba, it’s lower in calories, and its light flavor makes it easy to eat a lot.
Onigirazu
Onigirazu are great for school festival food stalls because you don’t have to shape them by hand and you can sandwich a variety of fillings inside.
If you use dedicated tools sold at 100-yen shops and the like, you can easily create a rich, varied lineup.
Try not only classic onigiri fillings but also meats, prepared side dishes, and fish cakes—lots of different ingredients.
Focus not just on flavor but also on colorful presentation; they’ll be photogenic and attract more attention! They’re perfect for lunch, and if you make them smaller, they work as snacks too—so give them a try.
