The Confectionery Expo has been held once every four years at a different location in Japan. The Confectionary Industry Association of each region where the event is held serves as the main organizer, and the local government also supports this major event.
The Confectionery Expo has a long history dating back to the first Imperial Confectionery Candy Show in 1911. The event was not held during World War Two, but was later resumed based on strong demand from confectioners across Japan. Afterwards, the name was changed to National Confectionery Expo and the event has been held for a century.
Stunning confections from all over Japan are collected, displayed, and sold at the venue, and there are crafting performance by confectioners as well. Outstanding creations are encouraged by presenting awards such as the “Honorary President Award by the Imperial Family,” “Prime Minister Award,” and “Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award.” These awards at the Expo are considered the highest honor in the industry so confectioners throughout Japan hone their skills every day in hopes of winning.
