Niku Fes is back this Golden Week, bringing one of Tokyo’s biggest meat festivals to Odaiba. This year’s edition is the longest in the event’s 12-year history, running from April 29 to May 10, with plenty of live music alongside an extensive line-up of meat dishes.
You can feast on all kinds of meaty treats, from A5-grade steak and wagyu sushi to Philly cheesesteaks, juicy cheeseburgers and rich beef curry, courtesy of around two dozen restaurants from across Japan. Each one earned its spot after being selected from more than 100 applicants.
As for the drinks, there will be craft beer from Abashiri Beer in Hokkaido and refreshing Mexican Cuervo lemon sours to accompany your meal. You can enjoy desserts, too, including churros, gelato and kakigori shaved ice.
While there are plenty of benches to sit on, including a family area which is available after buying 10 meal tickets, purchasing the premium lounge ticket gets you a dining space for four people. This deal features table service in a comfortable, shaded seating area. You can reserve it in advance on the website for ¥9,800.
On April 30, May 1, 7 and 8, the entire facility will transform into a beer garden from 4pm to 9pm, when their original beers will be ¥500.
Need a break from all the eating? Head over to the stage area for live music during the day. Headliners and specific event details are yet to be disclosed.
Entry to Niku Fes is free and you can just buy food and drink as you go. All booths accept contactless credit cards and transportation IC cards, but for added convenience, we recommend picking up a meal ticket bundle at the ticket booth or through the official Niku Fes app.
