About this event

Held in Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture, "Kamaishi Manpuku Fest 2026" is a gourmet event where you can fully enjoy the appeal of Kamaishi through food. The venue will host diverse food events, starting with the "Kamaishi Kei-Truck Market" selling fresh locally grown agricultural produce and processed goods, the "Harapeko Matsuri" where you can compare different Kamaishi ramen varieties, and complimentary grilled pacific saury tastings.
