Hiroshima Product Fair @ AEON Bandar Utama

Jom shopping for Japanese food and snacks at Hiroshima Product Fair @ AEON 1 Utama. I usually do my groceries shopping during weekend because that is the time my family go out together and we can decide what to buy and what to cook for next week. I visited the fair last week and thinking of going again to buy some snacks and oysters. This is a collaboration between AEON and Hiroshima prefecture government to promote Japanese culture, culinary and lifestyle.
