These are my favorite food spots at Narita san.

Mhm.

So I'm back with another japanese street food video and we're doing it old school style here at Narita Son.

It's only a 10 minute train ride from Narita Airport.

So you can come here if you wanna lay over, have a hangover or you're gonna be staying there for a little bit, you can come here and have a street food day just walking around.

You feel like you've transported to the Edo period.

So I'm really excited to show you this spot.

But like always before I start, if you want to buy the channel, check out the Tokyo March.

If you wanna see what I'm doing on the daily, check out my instagram account and if you have any questions about japan or your japan travels, check out my discord community.

All right, let me show you this wonderful place after you get off Narita station.

There's an 800 metre long, remote sandy shopping street Sando for short that leads directly to Narita san Shinsho Ji Temple which dates back more than 1000 years.

This area flourished during the Edo period and you can still see some of the influence today.

They're even japanese zodiac statues throughout the street to help remind you uh what you're, you're born number one Hayashida, no assembly.

So if you've ever wanted december, but on a stick then this place has you covered.

Let me show you this first spot is located just before the hill starts to slope down to the temple.

It's the oldest of rice cracker shop in all of Narita and is the only shop that makes rice crackers from their own batteries.

This is a negi miso samba, basically it is like a rice cracker on a stick.

They just dip this straight into the mess so they put some nog which is onions and you eat it just like that.

Let me take a bite.

Yeah.

Oh, the symbol itself has really soaked in all of that miso flavor.

And you get like a strong miso punch because this is kind of like a very constant traded me.

So it feels like because everything has been sucked into the samba.

Our onions are a nice touch as well.

And what's interesting is that you expect this to be really savory and salty, which it is.

But you also do get a lot of that sweetness coming from the miso.

So it has a really interesting flavor.

Very, very unique and very, very japanese mm Usually sunday is like really dry and crispy.

This is still crispy, but you do get a little bit of the softness because it's been recently dipped in me.

So so it's softer than normal.

And if you touch it it's really, really sticky kind of also like it on the stick because your hands don't get so sticky.

You can see that it has the onions on here and it's not falling off.

Yes, some of it is falling up.

So I love this place.

You really feel like you're walking in the Edo period.

You can just see how historic a lot of these buildings are.

Number two Kentucky know momotaro.

So if you're ready to get your uncle Funchal on, then this is this fun, let's go.

This shop is a small sand that specialize in that sweetie Sweet Abenaki, a traditional japanese style pancake without being paste filling.

They make their being paste fresh every day.

Just like you know how someone's grandma made.

Anyway, it's beloved by many visitors.

It's been a Narita Sando staple for seven years.

The sun is just over my head now I'm feeling the day.

I'm really feeling this day.

So this spot has only two items on the menu.

It has Suzuki on and show on just a white bean paste on, meaning Uncle look at this.

They just took this off of the stove or the griddle.

Your little pancake Daiki dick.

Let me just break it open and the whole shit on.

Who.

Oh it has that like pancake smell.

You can see that.

It's like still moist wow.

Initially it has a kind of like a mellow sweetness and then after a few seconds it just starts to get sweeter and sweeter.

Mm If you look at the texture of this Uncle is not really really mashed up and fine and silky.

Like you can still see like little pieces of bean.

It's called the symbol on.

It's kind of like very much like cream and the outer shell is very much pancake like but it's a little bit crispier on the outside.

It's like really, really firm, almost like has a crispy nous to it, but then on the inside it's really doughy.

I mean I could have gone with a red bean paste today but I don't know, I just feel like getting the shadow on which is you know, means white being oh before I continue on, I wanted to give a quick shout out to the sponsor for this video squarespace.

This next place has been around since 1910 and then some of the freshest Innogy and Narita.

I'm so excited to take you inside.

Let's go now.

This spot is one of the most popular unagi eel restaurants on the street.

The highlight of this spot is that you can watch the chefs prepare and grill the yields right in front of the shop.

In fact, hell is a local specialty of the area as it's situated between Lake Inaba Numa and Tony River.

No surprise, you'll find several inaugurates Dorantes along the way.

Yeah.

All right, let's pop the lid off this bad boy bob bam.

Look at that.

You negi negi sitting on top of a rice bed, wow!

The smells just coming from this entire restaurant is so strong and you just have that grilled smell and it is amazing in here.

I cannot wait to take a bite.

Oh there we go.

Look at my first but that is buttery soft.

There is so much umami coming from this hell itself is soft and moist and tender.

You can definitely get that grilled flavor and then just on top you have kind of a sweet sauce and just a little bit kind of grilled.

So you get kind of like chris penis into the top layer.

There is just so much flavor packed into this.

Let me just throw some sansho pepper on there just to give it that little zing.

I do like to feel that bite.

This is definitely worth every penny.

And it's no surprise that this place has been around since 1910 to be around that long.

You know you have to be making something good.

The thing about unagi is that it's one of Narita specialties.

In fact, there's actually quite a lot of different stores here.

All right, so I'm gonna finish this and I'm gonna take you to the next spot.

Yeah.

Number four shares kitchen.

So this next spot has a lot of chiba specialties.

Let's see what they have in store today.

We are shares kitchen.

Look at this.

And all the contrast is really bad right now.

But nothing you can do.

Maybe I'm gonna sit over here.

I think that's a lot better.

It's already melting.

It was like super fluffy Duffy when it came out starting to melt because it is so warm.

I'm just gonna take the first bite here, wow, when you press it in.

Is it really, really soft texture?

Like you're pushing into a bunch of like bubble wrap, wow that is a fluffy, this is marsha, it's a little bit on the bitter side.

It has some sweet, probably like condensed milk on their gives it like a really really nice sweetness.

So you have the bitterness plus you have the sweetness.

So it's just the perfect treat on a hot day like this.

It was so cool when it was coming out.

You can see like the little like thinly sliced pieces of shaved ice is like leaving back and forth but it is so thin that it melts so quickly in this heat.

You get kind of like this clunkiness but still you can see the little frosty sections.

I'm so glad I can share these little moments with all of you.

I know you guys watch this on my saturday morning.

Sometimes your friday night I just get to be able to spend this time with all of you, which I really love.

Number five Narita, you may be okay joe.

So if you're looking for that local farm fresh, it doesn't get more local or more fresh in this space.

Let me show you Narita, you may be okay, joe is a famous farm in Narita where you can bring your family to play with the farm cows and goats.

And they even have shops where you can enjoy their farm fresh dairy products.

So if you want to get a taste of that cows, fresh drip drip then look no further.

They even have four service shops at Narita Sando and at this one they have gelato.

Oh all right so if you're going to Narita you have to have some Narita soft cream.

They have their own farmland here and they have the freshest soft cream straight from their farm.

This thing is already dripping.

It is warming up out here mm.

Mhm wow that is amazingly creamy.

Like a very very milky milky taste.

That is a so fresh.

I am digging this.

Do they have so many different flavors, pumpkin raspberry, like they have all sorts of different flavors.

But I decided to go with the milk flavor just because you know that's where the cows come from.

That's where the cows come from.

No, the cows don't come from.

Mm wow.

What an amazing treat.

What a beautiful day we had.

Let's move on to the next one.

So, this next place is my secret garden.

Let me show you why.

And number six Miyoshi to this hidden traditional japanese sweets cafe is tucked away through a small alleyway just next to cala Toyo.

If you're looking to surprise that special someone, then you eat.

This may be just a spot, wow.

Just look around.

You can't get more authentic japanese than this right there.

You can eat inside if you want.

But I've decided to eat outdoors which is pretty awesome.

And like they're like there's a stream so you can see it just all behind me.

It's perfect.

So I got there, I can't like seasonal menu.

This is called there Sakura Sweets.

I thought we might go with something a little more standard to show you all.

But look how cute this little dessert is.

Well, it's not so little, look at how many different ingredients it has.

So you have the chiffon cake, you have a strawberry, you have the cream, sakura on, you have vanilla ice cream and then you have like a sakura Watabe mochi.

This has everything that comes with a special fork, knife, fork, bah boom, there you go.

This is amazing what we're eating today.

Mm The water would be much, does have that like Sakura flavor to it, but it's really, really light.

So this is the biggest Sakura on.

I thought it was gonna be like a Sherbert, but in fact it's a code of yourself.

So that is a pretty dope.

Mm Got some hold your child right here.

Yeah.

Nice.

Warm small cream at chiffon cake.

Oh, that's kind of like a light chiffon cake.

There's a chiffon cake right there.

It's nice and spongy.

The best part is you get to like mix and match all the different flavor combinations.

You can make the Sakura on, but they want to be much e dip it in some whipped cream and then you've got this kind of a messy little pocket of joy right here.

Mm This is one of one of those places that Michael loves to go to.

You can come here with your friends and just have some tea and a little like light snack and just talk about what's going on in the world, What's going on in your lives, how your baby is going, That kind of stuff.

This is perfect.
