The Kyushu Fair is returning to Yoyogi Park during the three-day weekend of October 9 to 12, featuring over 60 stalls with delicacies from Kyushu prefecture. Try Miyazaki-style Chicken Nanban karaage fried chicken, pork rib skewers from Kagoshima, tuna bowls topped with freshly cut tuna from Nagasaki's Goto Islands, mentaiko (pollock roe) grilled scallops from Fukuoka or a classic American burger from the legendary Sasebo Burger joint.
While craft beer pairs beautifully with the menu, sake and shochu lovers should explore the drinks available from the on-site distilleries. Kyushu is a renowned hub for sake and shochu brewing, and these local specialities are well worth trying.
The stage will feature musical and dance performances throughout the day, including various idols, boy bands and singers. The food stall area is free to enter, but you must purchase a ticket (from ¥3,300) to watch the performances.
