Japan’s Healthiest Street Food Surprise 🥒

Japan’s Healthiest Street Food Surprise 🥒

In Japan, summer street food isn’t ice cream, it’s cucumbers. At Japanese summer festivals, you’ll find stalls selling chilled cucumbers on sticks sprinkled with a little salt. Crunchy, refreshing, and hydrating, they’re the perfect snack to beat the humid summer heat. For locals, it’s tradition. Simple, healthy street food that feels as natural as fireworks and yucata. But for tourists, it’s always a surprise, expecting sweet festival treats like cotton candy and instead being handed a vegetable on a stick. Yet, many say it’s the most refreshing snack they’ve ever had in Japan.
