Spanish cuisine puts a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you'll often see seafood, olive oil, garlic, and spices incorporated into recipes. Sharing meals and socializing over food is an important part of the culture, with tapas being a popular way to sample different dishes.
The Paella and Tapas Festival at Tokyo's Hibiya Park is Japan's largest Spanish food festival, and the three-day event will see the best paella and tapas decided by visitors' votes.
There is no admission fee to attend the event, but do bring yen if you plan on doing some food sampling.
