What are some japanese festival foods?

Question:

Answer:

Ahh, Japanese festivals foods all taste so good! Japanese festivals are usually held in the summer with lots of paper lanterns, fireworks and amazing food! These dishes are usually served from small stalls that all specialise in one type of food.

• Yakisoba - Fried noodles with pork and cabbage. Topped with mayonnaise, yakisoba sauce, seaweed and bonito flakes.

• Okonomiyaki - A Japanese style savoury pancake, made with batter, pork, seafood and other meat or veggies. Topped with mayonnaise, yakisoba sauce, seaweed and bonito flakes.

Takoyaki - My favourite. Small pieces of octopus grilled inside balls of dough and topped with mayonnaise, yakisoba sauce, seaweed and bonito flakes. (the classic toppings of summer festival food)

• Yakitori - Pieces of chicken marinaded in a sweet soy based sauce and grilled over coals like a barbecue.

• Dango - Small balls of mochi rice cake on a skewer that are grilled or boiled and served with soy sauce or a soy bean powder.

• Mochi - Similar to dango, but a single piece of rice cake, often with a filling of azuki sweet red bean paste.

• Taiyaki - This is a waffle in the shape of a fish and filled with azuki sweet red beans.

Yum, shame it's winter, I want a Japanese summer festival now! :)
