Niku Fes in Odaiba

This post was written in 2017. Shop details and prices may have changed since then.

During my Odaiba holiday there was also Niku Fes, and since there is a lot to say about Niku Fes I split it into its own post.

 

Idol show

The fans were really passionate..

 

The general vibe

You can pay with a transit IC card. Japan has come a long way with going electronic, and lots of places now take e-money. Not quite on China’s level, but it will only get better by the Olympics.

 

Basil beef

Not cheap, but the quality was good, so it was a tasty one.

 

Idols..

What I find really curious is that today’s major idols are nothing special. It is pretty much all AKB-affiliated groups, yet the fans who actually show up in big numbers at the venue are fans of minor idols who never appear on TV. I suspect otaku culture and mainstream content are gradually splitting apart.

 

A beer

Meat

The food really is good, but it is hot, it is expensive, and you have to queue, so it is a bit of a mixed bag. If the idol shows are your main reason to come it makes sense, but just coming for the food is a bit meh..
