Eating Your Way Through Tokyo in September 2019
September is a hard month, it isn’t summer, and it isn’t fall. It is still hot, but cooling down. It is a good time to be outside, sort of, but everyone is tired from beer gardens over the summer and preparing for the upcoming fall colors, so not much is happening. That said, here are a few ways to eat your way through this September in Tokyo.
Afro American Caribean Festa 2019
Can you say jerk chicken? I knew you could! The AACF is a date with food and entertainment with an Afro Caribean flair, join the crowd in Yoyogi Park for this exciting and delicious event.

Taste of Tokyo
Organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the Taste of Tokyo is food, food, and more food. Heavy on local Tokyo flavors and ingredients, the Taste will also bring dishes from all over Japan and the rest of the world. There will, in short, be a lot of excellent food for any taste preference, and a healthy dose of craft sake and beers to cool the afternoon heat. Join for the food, stay for the entertainment and music! All dishes are 500 yen so pick up some coins and join 75,000 of your fellow Tokyoites at the Taste!

Fiesta Mexicana 2019
Fiesta Mexicana in Odaiba Tokyo is unfortunately timed to coincide with the much more popular Taste of Tokyo above, but if you are after a nice tamale (and really, when am I not?!) then this may be the place for you. If you additionally crave Mexican wrestling… Luche Libre yourself to the west promenade in Odaiba, near the Aqua City shopping center.
