Shin-Koiwa Park

This festival at Shin-Koiwa Park has more to offer than just your standard highball with whisky and soda. There will be around 20 booths serving up drinks centred around the shitamachi-style (downtown) highball, which has whiskey and soda plus a ‘mystery extract’. Of course, if you want to take a break from the highballs, you can also opt for chu-hai sours, craft beer, wine and sake. On the food side, you can enjoy jumbo-sized gyoza, takoyaki, burritos, cheesesteak, horumon-yaki (grilled offal), plus desserts such as candied strawberries and mango shaved ice. The festival will set the mood with a wide range of live entertainment featuring singers, DJs and traditional dance performances. Check the website for the full list of performing artists.
