Bounty of Fukushima Products Arrives in Taiwan: "Fukushima Products Fair" to Be Held as Satellite Event of Autumn Japan Exhibition

Fukushima Prefecture will hold a six-day "Fukushima Products Fair" from November 12 (Wednesday) to November 17 (Monday), 2025, as a satellite event of the Autumn Japan Exhibition at the Hanshin Arena Shopping Plaza in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan region.

Fukushima is a vast prefecture producing a wide variety of high-quality agricultural, forestry, and fishery products, as well as sake, tailored to the different climates and natural features of its three regions. Among these is the peach, for which Fukushima boasts Japan’s second-largest production volume* and, thanks to the skill of its producers, is known for intense sweetness and firm texture. A diverse array of peach varieties is cultivated, including the key "Akatsuki" variety.

At the fair, jellies and juices made with Fukushima peaches, candied young peaches, and other popular sweets and drinks will be on sale. Additionally, many of Fukushima’s famous products will be available, including apple juice, sake, yuzu liqueur, and Kitakata ramen, one of Japan’s most popular ramen styles. Visitors will enjoy the authentic flavors and culture of Fukushima.
