For four days in June, Ueno Park's central plaza turns into a Taiwanese street food market. There'll be plenty of crowd-pleasing dishes from around 30 booths or so, like Taiwanese chicken rice, dumplings, red tortoise mochi, noodle soup, steamed buns, shaved ice desserts and tapioca tea. Popular items including taro milk and lo bah png (minced pork over rice) are making a comeback this year, too.
This year will also feature a beer garden where you can enjoy Taiwanese beer and a tropical fruit fair with an ample supply of litchi and mango.
As well as keeping you well-fed, the festival will keep you well-entertained, with folk dances and other cultural performances, plus a range of shops selling Taiwanese fashion, handicrafts, traditional sweets and tea.
