A festival food stand or Matsuri Yattai. Here you can find everything from fried squid and octopus to the more familiar fresh roasted sweet corn from Hokkaido or the ever popular Corn Dogs known to the locals as "American Dogs!" Everything smells as good as it looks and tastes even better. A little squeamish about trying something out of the ordinary. don't be, the Japanese are gourmet eaters and everything is simply put delicious, or as they say in Japanese, Umai!
