This is a hidden street food spot in Tokyo.

Adverbs of degree

Mhm So the spot I am today, not a lot of people know about, it's kind of a very, very local spot.

It's about five minutes away from Ikebukuro.

What's interesting about this spot is that it's a show thing guy or a shopping street with a covered route.

So basically if it's raining outside you can still enjoy this area.

The name of this shopping street is called Happy Road and was built just after World War Two.

But it wasn't called Happy Road when it first started, it was called Oyama Ginza, but it was later changed I believe in 1977.

If you look around and just through the shops you can see that there's a lot of mom and pop stores were just super cool and I'm super excited to show you today.

But before I started going to see what I'm doing on a daily and check out my instagram account and if you want help for the channel, check out the Japan March and if you have any questions about Japan or your Japan travels, check out my discord community that all said, let me take you on this hidden street food tour.

Oyama runs in two directions from Calgary kato to Oyama station and from Oyama station southward.

This nostalgic shopping street has more than 400 stores in the arcade and more than 25,000 locals coming here every day.

One thing I love about this area too is they have some back alleys that you can explore number one.

Yakitori home po hammock, you can find this takeout Yakitori shop on the outside of Dharma.

The shop sells 100% japan made chicken but today I'm sharing with you my own secret favorite.

Look at this men cheat katsu explain anymore.

Let me just take a bite because I am hungry.

Got crumbs all over my face, look at all of that juicy juice coming straight from this man she cuts, it's just a lot of meat juice and it is so crunchy.

Oh like ice cube said today is a good day.

Let me just open this up and show you what we are dealing with.

There is just so much flavor in there that has a little bit of that savories and sweetness at the same time.

This is like some of the best men she got I've ever had.

Like I have a lot of men she cuts and this is pretty good.

What's also cool about this shop is that they have not only mention katsu but they have like different yakitori, all sorts of different meats that you can buy.

But if you do want some chicken yakitori, then I'm going to show you another spot in just a little bit.

So just hold on, we're gonna get there, wow, I just really love walking around this place just walking around.

You really feel like you're in Japan, you kind of get a sense of, you know, all of the culture and everything that's kind of cool about japan all in this street.

What's also interesting about this spot is they have a lot of shops that have really, really cheap products, wow, look at these masks are only 191 yen.

Number two Watanabe Sango inside of Fatima Ichiban market hidden behind the vegetable shops and butcher, you'll find a straight from the ocean fresh Fish store.

I got the Morales a set which has two different types of fish.

This one I chose to toro which is tuna and it also has some hamachi, you can see it right there.

It is so beautiful, nice and luscious fresh in the morning.

You can taste like all of the fat coming from the chitauro.

Look at that piece through a little bit of wasabi on there, just like that.

See how beautiful the colors on that fish is.

He is just glistening with beauty saying Eat Me Eat Me Okay.

Mm So what I love about this place, it has all different types of sashimi.

You can choose from all different assortments and they also have rice bowls in the front.

So if you want, you know your carbs for the day, you can also get their number three.

This japanese shop has been in business since 1948 and not only does it have sweets, but it offers them yum yum rice dishes like inari sushi and only giddy.

This one is pretty awesome because it came straight out of the kitchen is still warm to the touch.

This is a real cherry blossom leaf that they prepare with and you eat it just like so the motion itself has been kind of like smashed down into a little pancake then wrapped around the uncle.

Almost smells like a cherry blossom tea house.

The sweetness coming from the Uncle and emoji itself is soft and has a playful texture.

Believe itself has been kind of like marinated in a salt.

It just blends so well with that Sweet Uncle the Uncle.

It has a little bit of texture and then emoji just wraps all of this in like a nice little package.

It's just a great blend of sweetness and saltiness.

If you need a quick pick me up during your adventures, I recommend you knock a coffee.

It's a small hole in the wall coffee roaster that will for sure get you back on that yellow brick road or whatever color the road is.

So I got the milk coffee says you're not a coffee right there, cute little straw cap on top.

So today I got the cafe Ole, also known as milk coffee.

If you get the ice coffee, then you get like the blend of beans.

But if you get the hot coffee then you get this like beans.

What I love about this place is that they have all of the beans just right behind me.

In fact, you can hear that like slight humming noise.

Everything is actually roasted and you get like a nice cup of coffee and it just kind of like off the main street.

So you do need to go kind of outside of the shelter number five china, choose this shop is a Yakitori chain originating in Asakusa.

The founder started the business Postwar, specializing mainly in hell and river fish.

But since they could only be caught in the winter, he started to sell chicken on skewers.

This place just so much different chicken.

It has fried chicken and chicken skewers.

In fact, they even have some like tim put us so whatever you want, they pretty much have it.
