It’s not spring yet — despite what social media is telling you — so why not get in the winter mood with some sake, fresh seafood, and live entertainment at this year’s Winter Festival in Yoyogi Park.
What happens?
Like most events in Yoyogi Park Events Square, this festival is predominantly about eating delicious food. But, the main event is the live tuna carving every day.
If you miss the Toyosu tuna auction, then this is a great alternative. Once cut, the tuna is then served from a food truck for the hungry onlookers.
