Tender and delicious, Hida Beef is of an incredibly high quality and a dream for meat lovers visiting Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can\u2019t visit Takayama without trying Hida Beef, but what if you want just a quick taste or to enjoy it in a more casual way? No problem \u2014 go for the street food version!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are two options to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u30fbHida Beef Sushi:&nbsp;<\/strong>Delicious sushi with a beef twist available at&nbsp;<em>Hida Kottegyu<\/em>!

You\u2019ll find <em>Hida Kottegyu<\/em> just a couple minutes up the street, nestled between a tofu restaurant and souvenir shop to your left. A little further down the street, across from an information center for tourists, is <em>Jugemu<\/em>. Just follow the smell of delicious beef!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"sec2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

This is a popular street food with Japanese locals, and you\u2019ll know why as soon as you bite into one of the savory treats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The takoyaki at <em>Takoyaki Sago&nbsp;<\/em>are made with ingredients native to the area, including Hida Green Onion and octopus from nearby Ishikawa Prefecture. Stop by to pick up some takoyaki, and sample this Japan street food delicacy while you wander around Takayama Old Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_4458-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777;width:2000px;height:auto\" title=\"IMG_4458-(1) (1)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LOCATION:&nbsp;<\/strong><em>Takoyaki Sago<\/em> can be found at the <strong>Miyagawa Morning Market<\/strong>, a little to the north of Takayama Old Town.

After all, you can eat ice cream all over the world. But Japan is home to some of the most unique ice cream flavors in the world, and even Japanese tourists line up to sample Takayama\u2019s own spin on soft serve ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Head to <em>Takayama Pudding-tei<\/em>, one of Takayama City\u2019s most popular sweet shops. It\u2019s based in a building dating back to the Taisho era (1912 \u2013 1926), and is rich with old-fashioned charm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose from three flavors of irresistible soft serve ice cream:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u30fbPurin (Japanese custard pudding)<br>\u30fbRamune (a popular carbonated Japanese soft drink)<br>\u30fbYuki-guni (\u201csnow country\u201d), a blend of pudding and Ramune soft serve<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>yuki-guni<\/em> soft serve is made in the image of the stunning snowy views you can expect to see if you visit the Hida area during winter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/tp.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.8072289156626506;width:1200px;height:auto\" title=\"tp\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LOCATION:&nbsp;<\/strong>Like when heading to <em>Hida Takayama Kottegyu<\/em> and <em>Jugemu<\/em>, take <em>Sanmachi Suji<\/em> north.

You can find taiyaki throughout Japan, enjoyed as a delicious snack by locals and tourists alike.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike regular taiyaki, which average about 15 cm or 6 inches, the taiyaki at <em>Cyanome<\/em> in Takayama, Japan is bite-sized, perfect for on-the-go. The owners aim to offer innovative sweet treats, with various seasonal menus to keep things interesting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose from fillings like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u30fbAzuki red bean paste<br>\u30fbChocolate<br>\u30fbSweet potato<br>\u30fbCustard<br>\u30fbCheese<br>\u30fbSausage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re traveling with a group, we recommend getting several flavors of taiyaki to share, so you can try a bit of everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/chanome2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Taiyaki from Chanome in Takayama\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3333333333333333;width:2000px;height:auto\" title=\"chanome2\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LOCATION:&nbsp;<\/strong>Find <em>Cyanome<\/em> in Takayama Old Town just across from <em>Hida Takayama Kottegyu<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"sec5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

Similar to cr\u00e8me caramel found in other cultures, it is a simple yet delightful treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find it almost anywhere, from convenience stores to cafes and restaurants, but take our word and try the pudding at <strong><em>Noix De Coco<\/em><\/strong> when in Takayama. Besides the regular options, if you visit during the winter months, they have a special hot pudding, which is sure to warm you up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Noix De Coco<\/em><\/strong> prepares its pudding with the utmost care. It contains only eggs, milk, vanilla, fresh cream, and sugar. Their Japanese sweets specialists use locally sourced, specially selected eggs and fresh milk in their creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With such careful selection of ingredients and preparation methods, the pudding boasts a wonderfully rich flavor and creamy texture. One taste is all it takes to fall in love with Noix De Coco\u2019s <em>purin<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/purin.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:820px;height:auto\" title=\"purin\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LOCATION:&nbsp;<\/strong>Pudding from <em>Noix De Coco<\/em> can be purchased at their stand at the <strong>Miyagawa Morning Market<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"sec6\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

Tomato juice is definitely not something that comes to mind when searching for Japanese street food on this list. But we\u2019re absolutely serious: one drink of <strong><em>Maruori<\/em>\u2019s<\/strong> tomato juice and you won\u2019t be able to go back to to any other!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes it so worth your yen? This irresistible juice is 100% tomatoes only \u2014 nothing else. That\u2019s not the case with most other tomato juice drinks, though, which often contain salt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pure tomato and pure flavor, the company created its tomato juice to increase awareness that you can eat tomatoes raw, and to highlight the delicious taste of tomatoes grown in the Nibukawa area. They\u2019re watered with melted snow from the <strong>Northern Japanese Alps<\/strong>, which adds to their purity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Maruori\u2019s<\/em> tomatoes have a natural sweetness, as farmers harvest them between September and November when their sweetness is at its peak. It\u2019s certainly different from the other Japanese sweets we\u2019ve listed, but this tomato juice packs plenty of powerful flavor, while being a healthy snack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LOCATION:<\/strong> Head over to Hida Takayama Marutto Plaza to grab a bottle or two of the delicious tomato juice from Maruori. You can also find other local souvenirs here too. It is on the west side of the <strong>Miyagawa River<\/strong> on <em>Honmachi Dori<\/em>, a little north of <em>Yanagibashi Bridge<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"sec7\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.
