Street Food in Enoshima 江ノ島の屋台
Growing up in Minnesota I was accustomed to great street food. Minnesota is home to one of the greatest state fairs in country. However, street food in Japan takes this to a new level, especially at seaside resort cities like Enoshima.
The selection here is fresh seafood. Your options are simple, either have it raw (sashimi-style) or grilled. Choose from scallops, abalone, squid, sazae (turban shell) and the local specialty, nama shirasu (tiny raw anchovies). Check out how fresh these are and the diversity of offerings.
Enoshima is close to Tokyo, just south of the city on the Sagami Bay. This could be a day trip, or ideally, come and spend the night at a ryokan. The island of Enoshima itself looks like a small version of Mont Saint Michel.
