About the event
The wholesale meat market opens for a festival built around shopping and tasting. Kumamoto is this year’s featured region, making it a useful stop for visitors curious about Japanese beef beyond a restaurant meal. Tasting portions are limited, so come for the wider market rather than relying on receiving a free sample.
