The Essence of Festbier

A particularly special offering at Oktoberfest is the Festbier, a limited-edition beer brewed exclusively for the festival by German breweries. This beer uses an abundance of malt compared to regular lagers, leading to a rich, smooth taste with a well-balanced profile. With a slightly higher alcohol content, it’s known as a must-try beverage only available during Oktoberfest season, making the event a unique opportunity to savor authentic Festbier right in Tokyo.

Experience the Atmosphere of Munich

The original Oktoberfest in Munich started in 1810 and has evolved into the world's largest beer festival, attracting approximately 6.7 million visitors last year alone. With 14 enormous beer tents and over 100 food stalls, the festival serves around 7.4 million liters of beer over its duration, drawing attendees from around the globe. This grand celebration of German culture and cuisine is now available for Tokyoites to experience, directly mirroring the energetic vibe found in Munich.

Traditional Attire: Dirndl and Lederhosen

Adding to the festive spirit, guests will have the chance to wear traditional clothing, with women donning Dirndls and men sporting Lederhosen, symbols of the rich Bavarian culture. At the Shiba Park venue, visitors can rent these authentic outfits free of charge, allowing everyone to immerse themselves fully in the Oktoberfest experience.
