Ameyoko shopping street is a local indoor-outdoor market between Okachimachi and Ueno Station, which are both along with JR Yamanote Line. It is said that Ameyoko shopping street was originally opened as a black market where American products were sold by people who worked for the occupation forces. There are several stories that why the name of this shopping street became ‘Ame’, since it is arguable that it can mean ‘American’ as well as ‘candy’ in Japanese.

Now Ameyoko shopping street is not a black market anymore. Actually the time when this shopping street was classified as black was only postwar period. This market sells various types of products from food to clothes. You can find candies and chocolates as well, for sure.

Have you ever heard of Japanese word ‘tatakiuri’? Tatakiuri literally means selling with highly discounted price. One of the most famous shops in Ameyoko shopping street is Shimura Candy Shop, where you can enjoy middle aged man’s tatakirui performance. The man will start putting different types of chocolates into a plastic bag, and nothing is decided yet.

He can put chocolates until this plastic bag is about to be torn or also can finish with only proper amount of chocolates inside it.

Though Japan is a country where is full of delicious foods, we sometimes need fruits. However, buying fruits at Japanese supermarkets is usually very expensive. I used to eat a lot of fruits in my home country since it was quite affordable but it can not happen well in Japan. Fruits are usually expensive and packed only with small amount. In Ameyoko shopping street, you can buy fruits with pretty reasonable price.

There are many fruit vendors selling different types of fruits. Seasonal fruits are available; for example, you will see a lot of tangerines during winter and watermelons for summer. You can also buy small amount of fruits, usually with a stick, with very cheap price.

There are a lot of street food you can enjoy at Ameyoko shopping street other than fruits. This is my opinion but it looks like Japanese local markets usually have a place where we can try seafood and fish. Ameyoko shopping street is same. There are places where you can have kaisen-don, which can be translated as seafood rice bowl in English.

You like takoyaki? No worries. Whatever you expect, you will feel here as more exciting place for filling your hungry belly. Chinese food, Korean food, and even desserts… There is nothing you have to worry about. Visit first, and decide what to enjoy!
