Most associate Narita with the International Airport- while traveling to Japan, there’s a good chance that this is your first stop! However, not many people realize that Narita is way more than an airport, keeping the area of Naritasan a hidden in plain sight gem!
Shizuka heads to Chiba prefecture to check out this often overlooked area. Dressing up in a summer-style kimono, called a yukata, Shizuka explores Naritasan Omotesando and samples the local specialties along the way. Soft, savory rice cakes and refreshing sweets can’t compete with the true culinary star of the day - eel! The long, slippery aquatic creatures are surprisingly tasty, and the perfect meal for a hot summer day.
FEATURED FOODS:
Senbei: This version of the rice cake is fluffy and comes on a stick for an easy on-the-go snack!
Gold sesame soft cream: Smoothie, milky soft cream with heaps of powdered sesame on top.
Goma torori: Squishy, chewing rice dumplings filled with rich black sesame jam.
Unagi pan: Fluffy bread filled with eel.
Frozen Amazake: A fermented rice drink that’s a byproduct of sake, served as a slushy.
Unaju: Grilled unagi over rice.
Umaki: Tamagoyaki mixed with unagi, aka rolled egg and eel.
