Hibiya Park Nabe Festival

What better way to offset the chilly weather than with a hearty bowl of nabe...or several bowls. This Grand Prix of Japanese hot pot involves a fierce competition between dozens of vendors over which nabe recipe will be ranked the highest by a panel of judges. Last year's festsival drew over 260,000 attendees, eager to try various broths such as the Toyama Bay Shrimp Nabe, which has triumphed for two consecutive years. In addition to the seasonal nabe stands, there will be a number of events and performances on the main stage over the three days of the festival.
