Eats Ueno Park

While in Ueno Park, Scott got himself and order of Takoyaki, is a popular street food that is a round dumpling made of batter, diced or whole baby octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, ponzu, japanese mayo, green laver (anori), and katsuobushi (fish shavings). Typically the Japanese eat the whole dumpling in one bite. I am still working on this. Another popular street food seems to be these fruit on sticks, I never tried one but they look beautiful.
