Only in Japan would you celebrate Oktoberfest in August! The celebrations have been going on for the past two weeks in Shiba koen, but we decided to head over there yesterday and see what it was all about. I'm not sure why they don't have it in October as it's a beautiful month in Tokyo and perfect for sitting outside. Sunday was sweltering but there was a massive crowd that turned out to sample the array of beers on offer and there was even a German band (fully kitted out in lederhosen) playing well known German songs such as the 'Birdie Song'! We sampled some nice beers and a spicy sausage.....
