It only takes about 30 minutes from Ueno to get here. The street is lined with lots of old shops, some of which have been around for over a hundred years. Highly recommend trying the grilled rice crackers and eel rice—they're must-haves! There are also nostalgic candy stores that remind me of my childhood. You really get to experience the culture of Japan's Showa era.

Tori no Ana in Ikebukuro
This restaurant takes chicken potage simmered for about six hours made from chicken and several types of vegetables and turns it into ramen.
I recommend ordering the white chicken ramen. The red chicken ramen is really satisfying too—flavorful, but a bit too salty.

距離車站不會走太遠，算相對好找的餐廳，他們家的牛舌很不錯👍

Kikyouya's Kikyo Shingen Mochi
Sold since 1968, Kikyo Shingen Mochi is one of Yamanashi Prefecture's signature confections. The soft, bite-sized mochi is covered with plenty of kinako soybean flour and served with a separate packet of kuromitsu brown sugar syrup. It is said to have originated from the idea of creating a smaller, modern version of Abekawa mochi, traditionally eaten during the Obon season.
The mochi with kinako isn't as sweet, but I'm just more used to eating mochi with peanut powder.
