Have you heard of Japan’s distinctive fast foods that are reasonable and convenient?
Sushi and tempura, associated today with gourmet cuisine, were actually served in the Edo period from street stalls. They spread as inexpensive and easy fast food distinctive to Japan, forming some of the roots of Japan’s food culture. Of course modern fast foods such as hamburgers can be found in Ningyocho, but there are also plenty of shops for inexpensive and easy stand-up foods such as soba and udon noodles and take-out prepared dishes.
Buying take-out foods such as yakitori grilled chicken, fried egg, takoyaki octopus balls, croquettes and other fried foods, pickles, tsukudani seafood boiled in soy sauce, and rice balls, and taking them back to your room for a party could create memories of a slightly out of the ordinary trip.
