One Saturday, after eating sweet treats one after another, I was craving something salty. I wandered around Ameyoko, and it was around 5 pm, which was a new time for me to visit. There was a crowd on the street, and I discovered a stall selling "Ameyoko-yaki"! It smelled delicious and most importantly, not sweet. The original Ameyoko-yaki is cheap, fast, and tasty, priced at 200 yen. It's basically like a large okonomiyaki cooked in a taiyaki mold. It has similar ingredients to okonomiyaki, but it also has a whole egg inside, cooked just right. When you cut it in half with chopsticks (which was a bit challenging for me), the runny egg oozes out beautifully. It's topped with sauce, mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of seaweed, and the taste is perfect. This was exactly what I was looking for! It reset the sweetness in my mouth and left me fully satisfied. Whether you're alone, with a partner, or a tourist, you'll be drawn in by the friendly staff. They recommend eating behind the stall to avoid accidents while eating on the go. Just as I finished eating and was about to leave, I noticed the police officers talking to someone, which caught my attention a bit. Eating salty snacks on the go is a rare treat, so I hope to come across it again someday.

It was my first visit around 12 o'clock on a national holiday. I was hoping they would be selling Ameyoko-yaki... and as I walked back and forth on the street, I suddenly noticed that the food stall was open! I happily jumped in. There weren't many reviews on Tabelog, and the reviews were all old, from over 5 years ago... It's the rumored food stall selling Ameyoko-yaki, which has become quite rare nowadays. I told the man, "One, please!" and immediately received it. It's a type of flour-based snack, about the size of a taiyaki. And it's only 200 yen, with an egg on top of each one. They top it with mayo or sauce, making it the epitome of commoners' food. It's not particularly amazing in flavor, but the slightly runny egg adds a nice touch and makes it delicious. In short, it's a safe choice, I would say. I don't think there's any need to seek out anything more delicious than this, as this is the best form. When I asked the man if they don't do this much these days, he said that running a food stall is tough these days. So, mainly on weekends... and even then, it's not every week, just occasionally. This is a perfect snack for foodies. Consider yourself lucky if you come across it, and I highly recommend trying it (*^^) The men seem to be enjoying making and selling them, maybe this is the true essence of Ueno.

Ueno Ameyoko, with bustling crowds and scattered food stalls. A fun part of visiting Ueno. In the past, there used to be more options like grilled squid or grilled skewers, I feel like there were more back then. This shop is a must-buy when visiting Ueno, I've been a regular customer for a long time. It's called "Ameyoko-yaki", similar to Osaka-style grilled food. The taste is nothing special, but it's a nostalgic flavor and eating while standing in the hustle and bustle is quite an experience. Inside, it has vegetables like cabbage, bean sprouts, pickled ginger, and egg. It's well cooked, with a thick crispy skin and a slightly fluffy interior. Cheers to casual dining! It's hot, so it's great on chilly days. Located under the railway tracks, it's a good spot for shelter on rainy days too. And at only 200 yen, it's affordable and perfect for a quick snack. How about taking a break from shopping or walking? Eating in the middle of the bustling Ameyoko street, leisurely watching the passersby, is also enjoyable.

When you have a little bit of hunger, you can't help but crave the smell of food. It's located in a place where you can't help but want to eat. It costs 200 yen per piece, which may be considered cheap, but in Kansai, 150 yen is better. Every time I go on a business trip to Osaka, I eat this kind of thing, so honestly, I thought it was expensive. Still, I rated the taste 3.5. Even though I complain about the price, it's delicious. To put it simply, Ameyoko-yaki is like a small okonomiyaki.

While strolling around Ameyoko during Golden Week, I came across a sign that said "Ameyoko-yaki" and it caught my attention, so I couldn't resist buying one for 200 yen. Ameyoko-yaki is just a small flour-based snack, with egg and crunchy cabbage inside, no meat. It might be a bit pricey for what it is, but the sauce and generous amount of mayonnaise were not bad, and eating while walking around the unique atmosphere of Ameyoko was quite enjoyable. However, it would be difficult when it's crowded (luckily, there was a space at the back of the stall where I could eat in peace). In Ameyoko, you can also find fruit sticks like pineapple being sold at the produce stands, which I enjoyed snacking on while exploring. Even while eating the Ameyoko-yaki from this stall, my friend joked, "Hey, don't eat too much," because it just looked so delicious!

I can't believe this place is on Tabelog! After taking a walk in Ueno Park the other day, I visited this spot located next to Nakata Shoten, a store that sells military surplus items in Ameyoko. They sell mini okonomiyaki for 200 yen each, which is essentially like Osaka-style okonomiyaki but without any meat. They cook them quickly so you don't have to wait long. The outside is crispy and the inside has a slightly runny egg, which makes it quite delicious! What sets it apart is the addition of bean sprouts. It helps balance out the usual heavy texture of street food made with flour. Actually, I had Osaka-style okonomiyaki in Ueno Park just a few minutes before trying this one. But I found this one tastier, so I give it 3.5 stars!

Once again, this is a story about Ameyoko. It's a shop located near Ueno, where a fun guy works. When cute girls come in, he only talks in dirty jokes... It was entertaining until the end! Now, let's talk about "Ameyoko-yaki" that I discovered recently while walking around Ueno. I decided to stop by and try it out. It costs 200 yen per piece, which seems a bit expensive. It's a food similar to okonomiyaki, with a whole egg inside. It's like a three-bite size okonomiyaki. I ate it with mayonnaise on top. Both men and women were buying and eating it alone or with friends, which was nice to see.

Ame-Yoko specialty: Ame-Yoko-yaki! It has a lively street vendor atmosphere. If you walk along the main street of Ame-Yoko towards Ueno, you will find it around the middle. It's located on the side facing the expressway on the map, but actually on the side facing Chuo Street. It's near the shop called Nakata Shouten that sells military uniforms. It's like a mini-sized okonomiyaki. The ingredients include cabbage, bean sprouts, red pickled ginger, and eggs (maybe there was meat in it?). It's pretty much like okonomiyaki. It's about 10cm in size, but they use one egg per Ame-Yoko-yaki, which feels luxurious. The price is 200 yen each, which is nice. When you ask for it, the lady will generously pour sauce and mayonnaise on top. The egg is cooked to a soft, half-cooked state, making it mild and delicious. Since there are always customers, you can usually eat it warm and freshly made. Even if you're not particularly hungry, be sure to try it. Highly recommended.

I love B-class gourmet food stalls that are currently popular! Today I tried something for the first time, and it turned out to be Osaka-yaki, which is also known as "Ame-yoko yaki". In the past, these used to be quite common at food stalls, but I rarely see them these days. Unfortunately, the number of stalls at festivals is also decreasing. It's a strange but delicious combination of okonomiyaki and fried egg, giving a nostalgic taste. I couldn't resist buying it again. It just tastes so good. If you ever come to Ameyoko, I highly recommend trying it out!

A few years ago, there was a popular snack called "Ame-yoko yaki," also known as Ueno yaki. I recently had it again after a long time. You can find it being sold under a bridge in the middle of the Ame-yoko area, not far from Ueno. Despite the crowded area, you can easily spot it by the long line of people waiting. The process is simple. They pour okonomiyaki batter onto a small taiyaki-style griddle, add an egg, and finish it off with mayonnaise and seaweed. And the price? Only 200 yen! It's hard to say if that's cheap or expensive, but there's a certain value that makes it feel just right. As a B-class gourmet option, this snack is remarkably impactful. If you ever find yourself in Ame-yoko, be sure to try it out.

In the middle of Ameyoko, next to Tanaka Shoten which sells military uniforms, there is a stall set up in the alley. It was surprising to see this stall listed on Tabelog. It seems to open around lunchtime. They call it "Ameyoko yaki," which is like a large okonomiyaki. It's quite filling. There is a white line drawn behind the stall, where you are supposed to eat. It's a busy area, after all. As for the taste, it's basically a thick okonomiyaki with a half-cooked egg inside, which adds a nice touch with its creamy yolk. It's just delicious. It's a good option when you're a bit hungry but not in the mood for a heavy meal. I saw a young lady eating there alone too.

While wandering around Ameyoko, I suddenly got hungry and caught a whiff of okonomiyaki. I was surprised to find out that the stall I stumbled upon was listed on Tabelog. The price was quite reasonable at 200 yen compared to other stalls. The highlight was the bean sprouts as an accent, and the half-cooked eggs were just right. It's perfect for a snack while taking a stroll. People of all ages were seen devouring it. It's unclear how long they've been in business, but they blend in well with Ameyoko. Why not visit and indulge in some nostalgia?

It's not a restaurant, but a street stall. It's located under the bridge between Ueno and Okachimachi. A man is cooking on a large iron plate while calling out. The iron plate is shaped like okonomiyaki. It's like an okonomiyaki version of takoyaki. He pours batter into the frame and makes about 20 at a time. The ingredients include cabbage, bean sprouts, and an egg. The taste is just sauce and mayonnaise, but for some reason, it's delicious. Maybe because it's perfect for when you're a little hungry. And it's only 200 yen. Since it's a street stall, the man cleans up. On busy days like Sundays, a woman helps out too. It's become a bit of a famous spot in Ameyoko now.

I go to the fitness gym and sometimes get a little hungry before going, so I usually split a snack with a friend for 100 yen each before heading there. Even though it's in front of another store, there is a designated eating area so we can enjoy our snack peacefully. I'm not a fan of pickled ginger, but I couldn't taste it at all, so that was good. Since it's just a small snack, I feel like it's a waste to use disposable chopsticks, so I'm thinking of bringing my own chopsticks next time.

It's a typical food stall. The name is a bit intriguing, but there's nothing particularly outstanding about it, just the usual taste of okonomiyaki that you would find at a food stall. It's cooked using a taiyaki maker. The dough isn't anything special, and the ingredients are average, with just one egg inside. There's cabbage, pickled ginger, and some powdered bonito flakes, maybe? More than the taste, the 200 yen price tag is very appealing. This will satisfy your hunger. If you eat two, it could even replace your lunch.

The okonomiyaki and takoyaki from the tekiya at the festival always taste so good for some reason. You can enjoy these all year round at this shop located in the middle of Ameyoko. However, please note that they may not open on hot summer days or weekdays, so be careful. They sell Ameyoko-yaki, which is made using a large obanyaki mold, unlike the typical Osaka-style okonomiyaki. The batter here is a bit like a pancake, making it delicious. When the guy who usually makes them is there and business is good, the egg is cooked just right, and when you cut into the round Ameyoko-yaki with your chopsticks, the yolk oozes out, which is really nice. It's perfect for a light snack or even just to quickly satisfy your hunger. Personally, I love this place, along with the 6 takoyaki for 200 yen from Nanchan nearby, as one of my favorite B-class gourmet spots in Ueno Ameyoko.
