About this event
Fukui Prefecture, the top consumer of "age" (fried tofu) in Japan, will host "Age Fes 2026" again this year to showcase the appeal of "age". Abura-age (deep-fried tofu) and ganmodoki (fried tofu fritters), which can be called the soul food of Fukui citizens, have boasted the highest consumption amount in Japan for 63 consecutive years, with a leading "age" culture deeply rooted nationwide. Marking its 8th edition, this festival gathers various charms of "age" from Fukui Prefecture and beyond in one place. In addition to savoring a wide variety of "age" dishes and "age" sweets such as freshly fried abura-age and ganmodoki, you can directly experience Fukui's unique "aburage culture" at the venue. Wrapped in the fragrant aroma of "age" at the venue, please thoroughly enjoy the charms of Fukui's proud "age" together with your family and friends.
