Are you a hardcore foodie?

Are you always on the lookout to try new and amazing dishes?

Then you’ve come to the right place, because this blogpost is all about Japanese food!

More specifically, this week’s topic is about Japanese street food!

Without further ado, here are some street foods you won’t want to miss if you are travelling in Japan!

Yakitori (焼き鳥) is a Japanese type of skewered chicken. Its preparation involves skewering the meat with kushi (串), a type of skewer typically made of steel, bamboo, or similar materials. Afterwards, they are grilled over a charcoal fire. During or after cooking, the meat is typically seasoned with tare sauce or salt.

Takoyaki (たこ焼き) or "octopus balls" is a ball-shaped Japanese snack or appetizer made of a wheat flour-based batter and cooked in a special molded pan. It is typically filled with minced or diced octopus (tako), tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger (beni shoga), and green onion. The balls are brushed with takoyaki sauce and mayonnaise, and then sprinkled with green laver and shavings of dried bonito (katsuobushi).

Yakisoba (焼きそば) is a relatively easy to make, standard food item at any place where small food stalls (yatai) are gathered. Wheat noodles, pork, cabbage, and onions are fried on a griddle, then topped with pickled ginger (beni shoga), bonito flakes (katsuobushi), green laver/seaweed (aonori), a squeeze of Worcestershire sauce, Japanese mayonnaise, and occasionally, a fried egg. The deeply savory flavors of this dish give it wide appeal! It also can be combined with hotdog buns to make yakisoba bread, a common and popular food item, especially in Japanese highschools.

Ikayaki (いか焼き, イカ焼き, 烏賊焼) is, essentially, a whole grilled squid on a stick. Though it may not sound like the most glamorous or appealing snack to some, Japanese street food chefs have mastered bringing out the best of this snack in a simple concept. Fresh, tender squid is grilled over charcoal, given a generous coating of soy sauce (shoyu) and served with a slice of lemon or lime and the chewy texture unique to squid meat is a must-try for those who haven’t. Ikayaki is a meaty and flavorful meal-on-the-go that is ready to order almost instantly.

Imagawayaki (今川焼き) is a sweet Japanese street food treat that is made from a batter of eggs, flour, sugar, and water that is ‘baked’ in disk-shaped molds. The end-product is a golden, bite-sized sponge cake filled with either red bean paste (anko), chocolate, or custard. Named after an Edo-era bridge in Tokyo where they were first sold, Imagawayaki is known as taiko-manju in the Kansai region. It can also make for a good dessert!

Interestingly, Imagawayaki is very similar to Taiyaki(鯛焼き) - it is literally made with the same ingredients and filled with the same fillings!. The difference however, is in the shape - while Imagawayaki is round (taking the shape of its mold), Taiyaki is shaped as a Tai (Japanese red Seabream).

In recent years, savoury Imagawayaki and Taiyaki have also become very popular in Japan! You could also find Imagawayaki and Taiyaki with meat, curry, and even gyoza fillings!

So there you have it - diverse, delicious and affordable, Japanese street food is a great introduction to the cuisine of a country famous for its food. Now that you know the goods, go find a festival or yatai, grab a bite here and there, and a drink to go, and you’ll be feeling like a local in no time!
