The fair's main attractions are two popular okonomiyaki items.

The "Rich Negi Cheese-dama" uses double the usual cheese amount. The melting, rich cheese spreads throughout while the fragrant negi (green onion) flavor and texture create an exquisite combination that keeps you engaged until the last bite.
