🏮 WE ARE SO EXCITED TO FINALLY SHARE OUR JAPANESE STREET FOOD MENU FOR THIS SATURDAY AT 🏮
Come hungry because we will have an abundance of Japanese street food, desserts, and drinks ready for you! Our Inari Bombs, however, will be available in much more limited quantities. If you have been waiting to try one, come early and grab them while you can because once they are gone, they are GONE!

ALSO, I somehow talked my dad, Hama San, into coming out of retirement for one final ice carving demonstration this year! 🧊 He will begin carving at 4:15 PM, so please come early, grab some food, and watch a true master at work. This is something incredibly special to me, and I would LOVE to see a huge crowd there supporting him!
We have worked incredibly hard to bring this entire festival together while promoting every small, local business participating. Every single vendor has been absolutely amazing, and we are so proud to have them be part of this year’s market.
Red Lantern is INDUSTRY RUN and NONPROFIT SUPPORTED! When you eat, drink, and shop with our vendors, your money goes directly toward supporting real local small businesses, hardworking industry professionals, and the nonprofit organizations connected to our festival.
I have poured so much of myself into putting this weekend together alongside my team, , and , my bestie , and .nyanu. I truly cannot wait to see my clients, followers, friends and especially all of the STL FAM who continue to show up for and support the Asian community in the Lou!!!
WE SEE YOU, WE APPRECIATE YOU, AND WE CANNOT WAIT TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU! ❤️
Come hungry, support local, watch Hama San carve some ice, and enjoy an incredible night with us!
