Snacks & Sweets (11–20)
Pasta Pocky
Pasta Pocky is simply Pocky made from pasta! Cut pasta noodles to a reasonable length, then toast them or deep-fry them.
After that, just coat them with melted chocolate and chill until set—done! Super easy, right? It’s nice to have a variety of chocolates like white chocolate or strawberry.
Savory flavors like garlic or curry also sound delicious, not just sweet ones.
It’s fun to brainstorm different ideas and taste-test them together!
Snacks & Sweets (21–30)
Shiratama dango
It’s an easy dish that even elementary school kids can make.
It’s surprisingly tasty and pretty addictive.
If you put it in a plastic cup and sell it for a few hundred yen, it’s easy to carry around, and you can offer a variety of flavors.
The high degree of flexibility is another reason I recommend it.
Turkish ice cream
How about a stall selling Turkish ice cream with that stretchy, gooey texture? Apparently, its real name is “dondurma,” but putting that aside, many of you have probably seen people who seem to be from Turkey selling it from stall-like set-ups.
If you make connections with Turkish people, it seems quite doable.
potato mochi
Imo-mochi is a local dish from Hokkaido and is often eaten as a snack, known as a grandmother’s taste among locals.
It’s a simple dish made by mixing potatoes with potato starch and pan-frying, but it’s chewy and truly delicious.
It’s often finished with butter, wrapped in nori, or stuffed with cheese.
Candied sweet potatoes (Daigaku-imo)
Sweet, nutty, fluffy, and delicious! Why not offer glossy, appetizing candied sweet potatoes (daigaku-imo) at your festival booth? One big selling point is that the main ingredient is just sweet potatoes.
With only some basic seasonings, they’re fairly easy to prepare.
While daigaku-imo is typically deep-fried, there are easy variations you can make by simply pan-frying, which makes it even more accessible.
You may also find large bags of frozen daigaku-imo at wholesale grocery stores.
If there’s one nearby, be sure to check it out!
Pop Pop Donuts
These are small donuts that are popular in Hawaii.
The bag is filled with bite-sized donuts, and you can sprinkle or drizzle your choice from various powders and sauces.
It’s like a donut version of shaker fries.
Since they’re small, you’ll probably end up popping them in one after another.
sata andagi (Okinawan deep-fried doughnut)
Okinawan donuts called sata andagi are easy to prepare and simple to pack into containers.
They’re easy to eat and eye-catching, making them a good fit for festival stalls.
It could also work to sell them alongside other fried foods like karaage.
