Tokyo’s Winter Street Food You Have to Try

 The Tokyo winter makes the street food more delicious. I do not know whether it is chilly air, or steam that comes out of food stands, or just a mere pleasure of having something warm in your hands that makes everything more satisfying.

 The initial occasion when I tried winter street food in Tokyo, I was merely seeking to warm myself up. I found myself learning some of my greatest food recollections.

 

Oden of a Little Street Stall.

 One of such dishes is Oden, which is winter-like. I discovered the first bowl in a small stall along an obscure street into which the steam was misting the air.

Fish cakes, daikon radish, and eggs are cooked in the light broth over a slow burner. It is not obtrusive food, but it is most reassuring. Being there with a bowl in hand and people working by was like it was a part of the neighborhood.

 Side note: If you are travelling for a few days then you can book short stay parking Stansted and travel stress-free.

 

Yakitori on a Cold Evening

 

It is difficult to resist the aroma of yakitori during winter. Skewered grilled chicken roast cooking on open fires lure you immediately.

 

I recall that on my way home after the sun would go down I would make a stop at a small booth, warm my hands around the grill as I waited to collect my order.

 

Its burnt edges, salted sauce, and burning skewers were the winter food that was complete. It is easy, nutritious, and never fails to satisfy.

 

Taiyaki Fresh Off the Grill

 

Taiyaki is similar to a miniature fish in the form of pastry; however, during winter, it is a life-giver.

 

Crunchy on the surface and warm and tender on the inside, typically stuffed with sweet red bean paste or custard.

 

I consumed the first one as I was walking inside a large shopping street, not to burn my fingers. It did not take long but I still recall how pleasant it was.
