There\u2019s something magical about watching local chefs work with immense care \u2013 often using cooking techniques handed down from past generations. Food is an art-form here. And from the crunchy yet gooey takoyaki (octopus balls) to kakigori (shaved ice) \u2013 there\u2019s something for everyone for any moment during any season. So are you ready to meet the street foods?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10 scrumptious Japan street food staples<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Yakisoba<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CcBRWPLp3Xv\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yakisoba is a street food classic. Traditionally made with stir-fried (Chinese wheat) noodles, thinly sliced pork, onion, cabbage and a tangy yakisoba sauce. Cooked on large grills, you can hear the sizzle calling your name from afar. Put simply: this quick, easy and filling Japan street food staple is too tasty to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shioyaki<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CEtSwydDgJr\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shioyaki \u2013 grilled fish skewers \u2013 is a crunchy crowd pleaser.

Surrounded by seas, Japan boasts incredibly fresh seafood; and newcomers should jump at the chance to sink their teeth into shioyaki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/food-experiences-from-around-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 food experiences that should be on your 2022 bucket list<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Okonomiyaki<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CZG0DMyPsAj\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Okonomi\u2019 translates to \u2018as you like it\u2019 \u2013 and this the hallmark of the okonomiyaki. This savoury Japanese pancake is pan fried and perfect for all seasons and personal tastes. Made with loose batter and meat, seafood, cabbage and pickled ginger. It\u2019s crunchy and creamy texture makes for a wonderful comfort food. To get into the local spirit, add sweet sauce if you&#8217;re in Hiroshima and spicy sauce if you&#8217;re in Osaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Yakitori<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CeA9cEfv-fj\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch and admire Japanese chefs skewer chicken and grill it over a roaring charcoal fire.

Translating to \u2018octopus grilled\/friend\u2019 \u2013 these are pieces of octopus wrapped in a battered ball with green onion, pickled red ginger and bonito flakes. They are often drizzled in mayonnaise or red Takoyaki sauce.
