Everytime we hit Yoyogi Park, Omotesando, Shibuya and the surrounding area, we always end up just eating street food there instead of finding a restaurant because the lunch time crowd there was always too much for us. People started queueing in front of a restaurant as early as 11.00am! Of course, it didn't help that we always ended up in this part of Tokyo on Sundays instead of on weekdays.
The stalls nearby Yoyogi Park.
The stalls are always colourful. Standard food fare to be found here are : takoyaki, okonomiyaki, yakisoba, sausages and during summer, there were kakigori stalls too.
Takoyaki!
Definitely not as nice as the ones we tried in Osaka, but this is way better than any takoyaki we ate in Malaysia!
Raimie and his lunch.
Street food in Japan is not cheap, a packet of takoyaki is already 500yen. If I top up another 100yen and eat at Yayoi-Ken, I'd get a pretty decent meal!
I'd like to try festival street food but try as we might, we always ended up not going to any "matsuri" when we were in Japan. But there's always next time, eh?
