When I was a university student in Japan, I lived with a Japanese family (homestay) and Kawagoe is the hometown of my host father, so they took me there during a Kawagoe festival. There definitely werenʻt that many tourists -- mostly local residents as I recall -- so there wasnʻt all that street food or traffic. I donʻt remember what we ate, but I do remember the old buildings, especially the "kura," or warehouses that I had read or heard about, and the streets reminded me of the sets of all those old Japanese "samurai" movies we used to go to see in Hawaiʻi, but they were the real thing. I wish they had all that great street food when I was there, but I only remember "festival food" at temporary booths when I went to festivals, which I loved to do. and you could buy the special treats or snacks inside the stores. In general, it is (was) bad etiquette to walk around and eat or drink in Japan, so I donʻt remember any places which were known for "street food" like today. And there definitely werenʻt any Starbucks, but Iʻm glad the one in Kawagoe kept the traditional Japanese atmosphere. You and TabiEats shared some great places to eat in or near Tokyo that were away from the hugely popular tourist attractions.
Amanda & Felix...Little Edo Town in Kawagoe was a foodie paradise heaven. I'm hoping that one day we get a part two episode return trip. Amazing food and a big shout out to Tabi eats for sharing this place with the both of you. I going to watch this episode over and over again. Felix were those potato chips sweet potato's? They looked like it & was so nicely uniformly shaved and crispy. Even that jewelry it was amazing perfection! What nice keepsakes for the both of you. SWEET& deserving!
Glad you made it to Kawagoe. Saw TabiEats video when they went there. I think you were able to go to different places than they went to and still there is more to see! Lucky!
Oh wow! Can’t go wrong with Tabi eats showing u around for great Japan local eats. Looks like you hit a lot of jackpots! Loved the diversity in this one! Great job! So much fun following you on your journey! Looks like you gotta go back!!👍🏿💕
Thank you for sharing Amanda & Felix ! I love the Potato Chips & the Unagi dishes !Foodie Ohana what an awesome journey from Japan ! Delicious Goodies & I Love the Little Edo Town of Kawagoe !
Had O'Kimd for supper tonight.... So ono!! Finally, I would be able to watch wo getting super hungry... Right? WRONG!! 😂. Mahalo for another great episode!!
I wondered what the locals thought of you eating on the street, since it's not done there. But with all the street food vendors, hopefully it will be more accepted soon. Thanks for showing us all those amazing foods, they were all new to me! Definitely going to check those out the next time I visit Japan! 😀👍

That’s awesome! I wish we could’ve caught a festival in kawagoe☺️ that would’ve been so much fun!
If you like Matcha Soft Serve, try the near end of the street shop name Sawawa i think. And they got nice warabi mochi too.
How wonderful you got to travel to Japan and share the wonderful foods with us.

Gorgeous Amanda in Japan. Is there a better combo?
🤗
So glad you didn't get stuck in a typhoon

I usually eat the leaf but I’m not sure if that one is different
Thanks for letting us know! I’ll be sure to ask next time 🤔

We notice as long as you're not blocking the main walk way or walking while eating, no one really complains 👍
I believe that those particular leaves you don't eat. The Sakura mochi ones you can though. 👍
Good job bro 👍💖
Dude! You can totally eat the leaf! But you don't have to. 2:30
What time is a good time to go to kawagoe?
Spring or winter!
I meant time of the day. I will be there in winter.
Food looked tasty. I hope you bought some Japanese hand lotion while you were there.
Everything was delicious!
If there is anyplace in the world that I would trust street food is Japan. The least would be india.
I would love to visit Japan but would want a personal guide who could speak English. When, I win the lottery!!
Tokyo is mostly English friendly now 👍
If you ate mushy takoyaki, you went to a bad shop. Good shops are hard to come by, to be fair. Takoyaki is easy to learn hard to master kind of skill.
