Nikushoku Joshi Haku (Meat Festival for Ladies)

You won't have to be an actual 'meat-eating woman' (nikushoku joshi) to attend this carnivorous celebration outside the Yoyogi National Gymnasium, but the revelry certainly looks to be designed for precisely that type of lady. Ten carefully selected Tokyo restaurants will be serving up beefy delicacies festival-style, with some of the offerings only sold to members of the fairer sex. Completing the stereotype is an extensive dessert 'corner'.
