Earth Love Festival - 5/5/08 May 6, 2008

I found the website for a shop called Veggie Sweets a couple months ago that looks interesting. They make vegan cake and ice cream and I’ve been wanting to go but there is no map and I don’t trust myself with Japanese addresses at all! The other day I checked the website again and there was a post about the Earth Love Festival (地球愛祭り) where they would be selling some of their sweets the next day! I invited Beth, a JET from New Zealand for the adventure.

It was a small but nice event with a few non-profit booths, music and dance performances, and some vegetarian businesses. The most exciting thing was all the vegan sweets! I bought way too many, and I found out where the Veggie Sweets shop is, so I’ll be going soon! I also met a woman whose small business making vegan cakes and selling them to stores and restaurants is called Spiritual Sweets. She doesn’t have her own shop, so I exchanged contact information with her, and she offered to teach me some vegan baking! Maybe we can trade tips!
