5/13 Yum Yams: Ube Meets Matcha

Your Favorite Ube Festival is Back for 2023 with a twist!

Kapwa Gardens is excited to announce that Yum Yams is back for the fourth year but this time we’re partnering with KOHO for a special collaboration - Ube Meets Matcha!

Yum Yams has grown from 1 sell-out event at Kapwa Gardens, to a full on food festival crawl with multiple areas encompassing over 25 vendors. In it’s 4th iteration we are teaming up with KOHO SF, a Japanese arts group to showcase the flavors of Matcha to also celebrate AAPI month.

A Celebration of All Things Ube & Matcha

Yum Yams is a celebration of all things Ube. Ube is a Filipino Sweet yam that is taking over the world of desserts. It’s unique flavor and striking deep purple color is igniting excitement in the food world. Ube is flexible and can be used as a flavoring ingredient or a food color.

Much like Matcha, Ube is a signature component that people identify as uniquely Filipino. We are excited to bring Matcha flavors to our spaces this year.
