At the edge of Roppongi, Deutschland Fest 2013 was held from October 11 to 14. I went along on opening night to check it out. Kind of a cross between Oktoberfest and a traditional German Christmas market, there were plenty of fresh pretzels, and sausages for people to enjoy with their German beer and glühwein (mulled wine). There were also some small markets, a live band, and slightly more yodelling than I thought strictly necessary.
