What an amazing day 🇯🇵🏮🍵

Our very first Cairns Japan BonDance Festival is over, and our hearts are full 💚

To everyone who came to visit BUSK, tried our Japanese tea, or stopped by to say hello — thank you so much.

Seeing so many people enjoying our Matcha, Hojicha, and Genmaicha made us incredibly happy 🍵

A big thank you to the organisers for all the hard work behind such a special event 🏮

And to our family and friends who helped us on the day — we truly couldn’t have done it without you ❤️

So many people made this day possible.

Thank you, everyone.

We’re tired, happy, and very grateful… and already smiling when we think back on it.

BUSK’s first BonDance Festival will definitely be one to remember 🇯🇵🍵🌿
