“We always bring the finest Japanese product to the expo, and last time we brought a knife and sharpeners, and this time we bring DIY and gardening products,” Kurokawa said.

Their products include lightweight gardening clippers, knives, under-eye cosmetic products and Shogun matcha.

This two-day celebration brings together Hawaii’s favorite food creators, emerging brands and family-friendly fall activities under one roof.

Organizers say a signature highlight of OnoFest is the New Food & Drink Menu, where participating vendors will debut a brand-new dish, flavor or drink creation priced at $6 or less.

Attendees can sample multiple items and provide real-time feedback, helping vendors decide whether their new creations should become permanent additions to their menus.

The festival also features family and community attractions, including:

General admission is $6.50; military and seniors (60+) $4.50. Kids 12 and under free with paid adult.
