Nikufes Market 2016 at Shinjuku Takashimaya

The department store (aka upscale) version of this popular meat festival heads to Shinjuku for early January, with the 11th floor at Takashimaya taken over by restaurant stalls for an entire week. The offerings will combine top-quality meat with seasonal ingredients, so if it's a luxurious bento box you're looking for, this is the place to head. However, you might have to battle a bunch of well-heeled ladies of leisure for the juiciest offerings.
