Load up your plate at this year’s Sakana and Japan Festival. Happening over the course of four days, this is a chance to sample some of Japan’s best sakana (fish).
This is a sister event to Hibiya Park’s Fisherman’s Festival in November.
What happens?
There will be around 80 booths selling seafood delicacies, such as tuna, salmon, sea urchin, and crab. But not everyone will be making purely Japanese dishes; there will also be seafood paella along with ramen and rice.
Suggested Activity
Shinjuku Nightlife Walking Tour & Golden-Gai Bar Crawl
Sample local cuisine at the best hole-in-the-wall eateries, experience quirky bars in the Golden Gai area and take a stroll (that's all) through the infamous red-light district
The festival also has a social impact side, spotlighting seafood from Fukushima Prefecture, which suffered the disaster, with locals still struggling to sell their catch.
This is a big event, so expect there to be plenty of lines.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
