Japan, with it’s own multi-aisle pavilion, is playing a huge part this year, with aisles of Ramen, Sake, Fish, and Japanese knives.
Frozen desserts are in abundance, with about 8 gelato, 6 ice cream, 4 yogurt, and assorted other booths — some featuring mochi and allergen-free sweets.
The 25th Annual U.S. Pastry Competition is underway, and next door to it, the Ultimate Barista Challenge.
