10 Amazing Japanese Street Food 🧁🍵 Tokyo Asakusa

10 Amazing Japanese Street Food 🧁🍵 Tokyo Asakusa

Let’s enjoy food-hopping in Asakusa, a place with a lot of history in Tokyo!! You can reach the shopping street lined with many shops once you pass through the Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate), which is one of the landmarks of Asakusa. Let’s dive in! The artisan is filling the molds with dough. They’re putting a lot of sweet red bean paste in there. This shop makes “Ningyo-yaki (Japanese doll-shaped sponge cake), a popular treat in Asakusa. Amazingly, everything is handmade by skilled men, not machines. They make each one carefully by hand. They show us their excellent performance. We get to have the freshly made Ningyo-yaki. I can feel the heat through the paper bag. Each one has a different look and shape. This one is probably a Japanese lantern. The outside is crispy a bit, and the sweet red bean paste inside is delicious!! This is the five-storied pagoda, a Buddhist architecture with five-storied roofs. The red bean paste is literally packed inside. I don’t know who he is, but he looks strong. A bell, I guess. A turtle. A pigeon And beyond that, there’s a real pigeon. We ate the freshly made ones, but they must be good even served cold. Happy pigeons, with so much food falling around. It was delicious. Next, we’re heading to a residential area near the shopping street. This stylish place is a specialty potato shop. You can choose a sauce, whatever you want. Wow, this looks so good!! I went with honey mustard and sour cream onion sauce. I gotta eat these fries before they get cold… The fries are crispy on the outside, and the spicy mustard and sweet honey go together perfectly. So good! I didn’t know honey mustard would go so well with fries. Now, let’s try it with the sour cream onion sauce. I have often seen sour cream flavor in potato chips in Japan, but not much else. The sour, refreshing flavor goes well with the fries. So good! The green onions add a nice touch, too. I could eat about 3 more cups of this. Let’s have some sweets next. This is a crepe specialty shop. I’ve heard that Japanese crepes are a bit different from foreign crepes. I mean, you can hold and eat it in your hand, but it’s not common in other countries, so I guess that’s the difference. I think many Japanese have dreamed of working at a crepe shop at least once. Watching crepes being made is eye-catching; I could watch it forever. Finish with matcha cream… But wait, they’re sprinkling sugar on it. Oh wow! They’re caramelizing the sugar with the burner. It almost looks like a work of art. Finally, they add some cute little decorations, and it’s done. There’s a nice dine-in area on the 2nd floor. We even have a vase to put the crepe on the table. Such a beautiful matcha crepe!! The sugar they caramelized earlier is crunchy and crispy. The slightly bitter matcha cream and the sweet caramelized sugar go perfectly together. This is superb!! We also have raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream inside. This crepe is quite heavy. It’s heavy because it’s packed with so many ingredients, but I’ve never had such a heavy crepe before (I mean, I love it). Now, let’s have some tea. Cheers!! The green tea has a gentle flavor, and it warms me up. This must be made of authentic tea leaves. When I peel off the paper, I feel kinda a little sad because the crepe is slowly disappearing. The matcha crepe dough is so soft and chewy. If you enjoy food-hopping in Japan, I highly recommend having a crepe. The next is a curry bread shop bearing Tokyo on its name. This cute girl is staring at me. Why don’t we buy one? Apparently, this curry bread has stretchy cheese. It’s freshy made and warm. The curry bread looks white. (I thought it’d be more brown.) The filling is almost there. It’s more chewy than crispy, and the curry’s a little spicy. So good!! And the cheese… is so stretchy!! The cheese isn’t too overpowering, and it blends perfectly with the curry flavor. And it is stretchy so much. As a fan of both cheese and curry, this is heaven for me. Plus, it’s baked, not deep-fried, so the curry bread is healthy. I found a cute shop here. Even the menu is lovely, too. The shop is a little spacious, so they give us a beeper. So cute. I’m surprised at how small it is, but this rabbit parfait is so cute. The rabbit’s face is made from Daifuku ice cream, so I’ve got to eat it fast before it melts. It’s just like a “YukiXX Daifuku” and tastes so good! The outside is so chewy. The ears are made of white chocolate. It’s also packed with whipped cream and strawberries. We also have many cornflakes at the bottom, which are a must for parfaits. Btw, if you don’t know about “YukiXX Daifuku,” please check out our past video from the above link. Since it has sponge cake inside, it’s like a parfait and a cake combined. Fantastic. I wanna try a trendy food in Japan, which I have seen a lot on social media. The lanterns give a nice vibe. You can place and purchase your order at this ticket vending machine. I’ll have an eel rice ball. It’s served right away, and they have a dine-in space. Wow!! Big slice of eel and rice ball!! This looks so delicious. The rich taste of the eel and grilled rice ball mix perfectly. This is great!! Usually, eel is served in a bowl and costs around 4,000 yen, however, we can have eel at this price. It’s rare to get eel at such an affordable price, so I’m really happy about it. Since I had something rich, let’s have something sweet now. A bear or a cat? It’s hard to decide. I’ll have the bear. It comes with a fortune telling for love. I’ll rescue the bear from the skewer. It’s a monaka with faces on both the front & back. It has a lot of red bean paste inside. So good!! I feel a little sorry, but it’s worth of eating it. Heart-shaped castella. There’s nothing inside. It’s a fluffy, sweet sponge cake. A pure red strawberry that looks sweet. Lastly, a pink mini-Daifuku. It’s very soft and has plenty of red bean paste inside. Delicious. I’ve been looking forward to the love fortune. The result is “Kichi” (good luck), which is the second-best fortune after “Daikichi” (best luck)! And it says I’ll have a long-lasting relationship with someone born under the Capricorn sign. Actually, my wife is a Capricorn! Isn’t it great? I’ll tie it up nearby. Now, I can see a bright future ahead. It smells so good, so I decided to stop by here. They sell Takosen (a snack with Takoyaki sandwiched between shrimp crackers), etc. It smells so good that I would almost snitch some. It’s quite heavy. They say the best-before date is 3 minutes. So, I’d better eat it right now. It has sauce, mayonnaise, green onions, and crunchy bits of fried batter inside. And the Takoyaki filling inside is creamy. It goes perfectly with the shrimp crackers—so good! It’s a bit tricky to eat, but that’s how it is. At first, the crackers are crunchy, but they get soft and tastier with sauce or mayonnaise. The shrimp cracker itself tastes a little bland, but the combination with the other toppings makes the whole flavor just right. They also sell Takoyaki in broth. This is called Akashiyaki, which is eaten dipped in broth instead of with sauce on. The Takoyaki has become super soft. The gentle-flavored broth has soaked into it. Happiness is now in my mouth. Evidently, the octopus inside the Takoyaki ran away. The octopus is springy and delicious. The hot soup warms my body up. This matcha shop is super crowded. It looks like they have some authentic matcha here. I’ll have something to drink. But this isn’t just a normal drink. At first glance, it looks like a regular matcha latte, but it has warabi mochi at the bottom. Now let’s Cheers!! It’s a refreshing and light sweet taste. The warabi mochi is sweet, too, so the balance is nice. So delicious! The warabi mochi is cut into small pieces so it won’t get stuck in our throat. Asakusa has so many great stalls and shops, and everything I tried today was really great. Moreover, it has a nice view of the tallest building in Japan, the Tokyo Skytree, from the street in front of this shop. So Great. Thanks so much for watching until the end!!
