Grilled takoyaki

A sort of tayaki (sweet red beans filling)

Crepes with assorted fillings

I picked a crepe with cream and strawberry

Asakusa icecream

Narai's special pies

Different flour and fillings

Icecream in hot fish-shaped cone

The most traditional fillings are red sweet beans and green tea

I always enjoy when I can watch the process

Ice cream from vending machines are also very good!

I used to visit Japan in Spring and catch “hanami” festivals. In many places in Tokyo like Ueno Park or Asakusa, there were dozens of colorful stalls cooking and selling all kinds of popular and traditional Japanese dishes. Of course, I couldn’t pass up those treats and to be honest, I liked all of them! I also enjoyed watching the process of cooking starting from the ingredients. Besides festivals you can find the usual takeaway treats like taiyaki, ice cream, and crepes. Whatever I tried in Japan tasted great!
