Niku Fes! - Tokyo, Japan

 This was honestly a big top pick for Justin. Niku Fes is a meat festival of the best beef in Japan, it happens during golden week. 

The whole ticket system for the niku fes was a bit complicated but once we got it figured out we bought a couple normal grades, a few premiums, and two desserts ones. Justin had spotted those strawberries on sticks we had to try. We later found out they are called Tanghulu. Not only were they the so delicious, they were the most ripe strawberries I've had since I was a child doing u-pick back home. 

There was more than a dozen different stalls of meat and a couple varieties of wagyu. They also had beer stalls and a stage playing anime music. Some people started in a dance off!
