Experience the enchanting world of Japanese culture and cuisine as the Marché de la Condamine transforms into a vibrant celebration of the Land of the Rising Sun. On Wednesday, 27 November, from 4 PM until late, this beloved market near Place d’Armes will host a free event highlighting the beauty of Japanese traditions, art, and gastronomy.
Dive into the creative spirit with artistic workshops that explore cherished Japanese crafts.

Mindful coloring sessions add a calming touch to this cultural immersion.
Food lovers will be thrilled by the event’s culinary offerings. Sample the flavors of Japan with tastings of matcha tea, sake, and takoyaki—a popular street food delicacy. Local vendors in the food hall will also serve Japanese-inspired dishes, making it a feast for the senses.
As the evening unfolds, live music featuring traditional Japanese melodies will set the stage for an unforgettable night. Whether you're a culture enthusiast or a curious foodie, this soirée promises a journey into Japan’s rich heritage without leaving Monaco.
