PSA: Istean Sakura Matsuri fair is back at NEX Atrium from 17 March to 29 March 2026, bringing all the best of Japan’s cherry blossom season to Singapore! If you’re into Japanese food, treats, and everything in between, this is the perfect event to check out.
Read our Sakura Matsuri 2025 feature for a sneak peek at what you can expect at this upcoming food fair.
This year, there’s a lot to look forward to, with exciting limited-edition treats you can only grab at the event. Dessert fans should make a beeline for ATLR.72‘s kiosk and their Mochelie: mochi-filled almond tart in a new Sesame Noir flavour ($9.80). This one’s super special, with only 30 pieces available each day, so you’ll need to act fast! Wash it down with Sakura Sake by Hinemos ($102.50), a smooth, floral sake with real sakura petals in it.
Matcha enthusiasts will be happy to know that Matcha An is making a comeback at the Japanese food fair. Get your hands on their Strong Matcha Raw Chocolate ($12), AKA nama chocolate infused with green tea, or the Strawberry & Matcha Cream Cheese Pudding ($9), which combines sweet strawberries, earthy matcha, and creamy cheese.
Tokio is also making an anticipated return, selling Fresh Japanese Strawberries with Condensed Milk ($10).
Get the adorable Kumamon-shaped Ningyoyaki at Monario, perfect for snacking on the go. Priced at $5.50 per piece, or $5 each if you get at least two, these mini pancakes come in a variety of fillings such as Matcha, Strawberry, and Custard.
For those looking for something savoury, there’s Veggie Rice Bread ($5) by Hakko, a rice-based bread stuffed with veggies or fruits. There’s also Kamata Ramen ($25) if you want something more substantial!
The event is open daily from 10:30am to 9:30pm, except on 29 March, when it closes at 8pm. Be sure to drop by and try out these amazing seasonal treats while they’re available!
