ABOUT THE FAIR
The Dessert Sweets & Bakery Festival (DSB Festival) has established itself as a premier trade fair for the bakery, confectionery, and beverage industries. Held annually at the prestigious Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo, it brings together experts, manufacturers, distributors, and industry professionals from around the world. Organized by Japan Food Journal Co., Ltd., the DSB Festival serves as a central platform for exchanging insights on industry trends, technological innovations, and business collaborations.
As part of FABEX, one of Japan’s leading food industry trade fairs, the DSB Festival contributes to the creation of new value in the food business by bridging global culinary cultures with cutting-edge technological advancements.
The event focuses on bakery and confectionery products, the beverage industry, food ingredients, and packaging solutions. Exhibitors showcase the latest developments, from high-quality ingredients and innovative baking technologies to creative packaging concepts that are shaping the market. Companies from food production, gastronomy, hospitality, and retail sectors take advantage of the fair to stay informed and expand their professional networks.
The DSB Festival stands out for its dynamic atmosphere, featuring live demonstrations, tastings, expert lectures, and seminars. A particular highlight is the renowned Assiette Dessert Contest, a competition for professionals from pastry shops, hotels, and restaurants. Participants create desserts incorporating frozen components into a single, harmoniously composed dish. Besides balance and taste, originality and design play a crucial role in the evaluation process.
Deeply rooted in Japanese culture, the DSB Festival reflects Japan’s high standards in food production and its passion for premium baked goods and confectionery. As a vibrant metropolis, Tokyo provides the perfect setting for this trade fair, reinforcing Japan’s role as a leader in food technology and innovation.
