Kobe, Japan, is not just about "Kobe beef." Its unique blend of local and international design products and specialty foods is another major highlight of the city. For the first time, the lifestyle and cultural platform expo by Eslite Spectrum has partnered with the Kobe City Government to launch the "&Kobe Exotic Chic? Kobe" special exhibition, bringing four of Kobe’s most popular food items and artisan crafts to Taiwan. These include the highly talked-about half-baked cake from Japan, the world’s first FELISSIMO 500-color pencils, and an immersive experience at the Kobe Artisans Workshop — allowing you to explore Kobe without flying to Japan!

The most anticipated item in the "&Kobe Exotic Chic? Kobe" special exhibition is the Kobe half-baked cake, "Seiyou Rokoko Fujikake," which is being flown in from Japan for the first time. It sells 100,000 units per year in Japan. Made with fresh eggs and rich milk from Hokkaido, the smooth and creamy half-baked filling has a mesmerizing taste. Pre-orders are now available exclusively at Eslite Life Nanshi expo SELECT!

The exhibition also features ku “Washi Incense,” which infuses natural fragrances into washi paper. Simply peel off the leaf-like sections on the paper, burn them, and enjoy a unique scent. During the event period, Eslite members who spend a minimum of NT$2,000 in a single transaction can receive a limited edition ku “Washi Incense.”

Also on display is the dream tool for stationery lovers — the legendary drawing tool, the “FELISSIMO 500-color pencils.” They go on sale globally, simultaneously in Taiwan and Japan. Each pencil features a unique name printed on the body, making them a must-have for designers!

In addition, there's the "Kobe Shushin Kan," a must-visit for Japanese sake enthusiasts. Their “Fukuju Junmai Ginjo” is brewed using a 300-year-old tradition. Made from high-quality polished Japanese rice, it offers the aroma of ripe apricots and a refreshing rice taste. It has even been designated as the accompanying sake for the Nobel Prize banquet!
