A Japanese bazaar featuring food, culture, and martial arts is coming to downtown Monterrey for free this weekend!
If you’re craving sushi, mochi, or a good matcha, mark your calendars for Sunday because Yorokobi Maaketto is coming—a Japanese cultural bazaar that promises to take over downtown Monterrey with delicious food and activities for the whole family.
This event will bring together various vendors offering everything from traditional to fusion cuisine. Here you can try everything from onigiri, Japanese curry, and soufflé cheesecake to matcha drinks and plant-based options.
Must-see highlights include Ichirin Japanese Tea with its organic green tea straight from Japan, Takeshita Café with mochi and taiyaki, and Matcha Garden, specializing in Japanese food and drinks. You’ll also find offerings like Noko, which aims to highlight the ingredients in each dish, and LaVerdeMorada with plant-based Japanese options.
And if you’re a dessert fan, head straight to Mofu.mx to try their famous Japanese cheesecake or to Sabor Samurai for a mix of treats like dango and mochi.

Not just food: Japanese culture live.
But it won’t all be about eating (though there will be plenty of that ). The bazaar will also feature martial arts demonstrations and cultural exhibits that will bring you closer to Japan without leaving Monterrey.
The atmosphere will be totally family-friendly, ideal for going with friends, a partner, or even for a laid-back Sunday outing. Plus, since it’s a downtown event, it’s perfect for putting together a full day out and continuing to explore the area.
