Bring on number three! Summer is fast approaching, and Tokyo is squarely in Oktoberfest mode: after Akihabara and Odaiba, the third extra-seasonal Bavarian beer fest of the year takes place in Hibiya Park and features the familiar sausages, oom-pah music and quality German beer served from hefty glass tankards (note that you'll have to pay a refundable ¥1,000 deposit each time you order one). There's always a strong showing by German breweries, plus local heavyweights like Sankt Gallen and Fujizakura Heights, with a few beers that aren't available anywhere else... well, except in Munich.
