Street Food

In the temple grounds at Asakusa we passed a number of food stalls, with many varied types of food that people could eat as they walked. Later, on our way from the Ueno subway station to our guest house, we passed another row of such stalls near the temple in Ueno Park. The food ranged from completely recognizable -- like bananas dipped in brightly colored candy or skewered meat -- to slightly mysterious -- like pancakes or egg mixtures filled with vegetables or funnel cakes on a stick -- to exotic -- like octopus.
