This spring, meat lovers visiting Tokyo have a delicious reason to head to Odaiba. From April 29th to May 10th, the Meat Festival® 2026 TOKYO JAPAN Premium20 will transform Odaiba into a hub of Japan's best yakiniku experiences. Among the highlights is Ushikoi, a popular yakiniku restaurant celebrated for high-quality, flavorful meat at accessible prices.
Throughout the event, Ushikoi will serve up Wagyu Shoulder Loin with the Ultimate Yakiniku Sauce, supervised by culinary expert Ryuji. Limited to just 3,600 servings, this special dish features A5-grade Kuroge Wagyu beef shoulder loin, which is prized for its fine marbling and tender, juicy texture. The signature "Ultimate Yakiniku Sauce" blends the natural sweetness of grated onion, nutty sesame aroma, rich soy sauce, garlic umami, and a subtle kick of gochujang, highlighting the beef's flavor while leaving a clean finish.
Ushikoi has earned a loyal following, including celebrity fans, thanks to its careful sourcing, attention to detail, and balance of quality and value. At the festival, the restaurant's dish offers visitors a chance to enjoy premium Wagyu in a lively, social setting, alongside other unique creations from participating vendors.
Priced at 2,100 JPY including tax, Wagyu Shoulder Loin with the Ultimate Yakiniku Sauce is perfect for travelers looking to taste something exclusive and memorable. With limited servings available, arriving early is recommended to secure this sought-after dish.
Beyond Ushikoi, the Meat Festival promises a wide range of meat-centric experiences, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring Tokyo during Golden Week. Admission itself is free, but bring yen if you plan on doing some food sampling.
