Tokyo's Ameyoko Market is the city's street food paradise. There is no debate. The market street runs for 400 meters along the Yamanote Line from Okachimachi to Ueno Station. There are hundreds of shops selling all kinds of delicious foods but its the market's past that makes it unique.
▶︎ HISTORY
Ameyoko was Tokyo's black market during the US Occupation between 1945 and 1952, a place where you could get expensive and highly regulated goods like sugar.
▶︎ The "Ame" in Ameyoko means CANDY in Japanese.
But "ame" also stands for "AMErica" since the market sold so many good broght in by US Servicemen during the occupation. You can still see sun glasses, watches, and Zippo lighters sold on the street to this day.
The market has changed a lot over the last 75 years.
After being a black market, it became home to Tohoku's seafood in the 1950s since nearby Ueno is the city's gate to the north of the country. In the 1970s and 80s, immigrants from abroad made their homes in the area and there is a growing variety of foods. With more tourists flooding the market, stands are converting from shops to restaurants at night, tables spilling into the streets.
And then there is STREET FOOD galore!
In this episode:
★ Kaisendon (Tokimakidon) 750 Yen
★ Takoyaki 200 yen for 4
★ Potato-Rella Cheese Stick 480 yen
★ Kakigori (Kyoto Uji Kinji Milk) 400 yen/
★ Sake & Oyster Set 500 yen
★ Super Chocolate Bag 1000 yen
▶︎ WHERE is Ameyoko Market アメ横 ?

I visit Ameyoko every time I go to Tokyo. Normally because I bought too many souvenirs and need another bag to lug it all home. This is probably the best place to get cheap luggage among other things. The food is also an excellent value and very delicious. An often ignored Asian / international market is located underground, below the center building. This underground market is one of a few places in Tokyo known to stock halal foods.

@NoshAbroad 5 жыл бұрын

KLEY MOORE :That certainly is an option. It's a difficult balancing act of size, weight and cost. In most cases mailing it home would be very expensive. For example, this most recent trip i brought home a Balmuda Toaster, a Takoyaki grill and a ton of candy and cosmetics for friends and family. My Delta Sky Miles lets me take 3 over-weight bags with me so buying an extra suitcase for $25 is a better option.

@ericisprobablyfullofshit7797 5 жыл бұрын

Kaisendon! Not Katsudon. Katsudon is a totally different dish involving cutting up and frying pork cutlet served over rice with a tangy sauce, and an egg cracked over the whole thing. In fact there are several videos on KZfaq that show you how to make katsudon if you're interested. It's actually pretty easy to make. Just make sure that you know the difference before you go to Japan, after all, you don't want to accidentally get the wrong dish.
