Hongwanji Spring Bazaar 2024

,

Mahalo to all who came out to the Hongwanji Spring Bazaar at Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin on Sunday, March 24! We had a very busy food booth in the Annex, selling out of just about everything that we brought from our temple. Everything we sold was made by WBT members and volunteers at WBT, including takuan (pickled radish), bitter melon namasu, cabbage tsukemono, pickled onions, nantu (Okinawan mochi), banana muffins, and several varieties of manju (a Japanese pastry).

Thank you to all the volunteers and the Hawaii Betsuin for hosting the Spring Bazaar, which also featured a rummage sale, craft fair, and lots and lots of food!
