Street food is a staple of Japanese life. Japanese street food is most commonly found during the many festivals that happen throughout the country, and during events there's more than ample opportunity to get your street food fix. Packed with colourful yatai or “street food vendors” street food offerings include various regional sweet and savoury delicacies. Some of the most amazing street food that Japan has to offer will be tucked behind colorful stands with gleefully shouting vendors. More than the novelty or even the quality of the food, which varies from stall to stall, it is the convivial atmosphere of yatai that makes them memorable. Sadly, these traditional pushcarts are being replaced by motorized vans, which are not nearly as romantic and do not offer seating. I took a walk down the street side yatai stalls that offer inexpensive treats in my recent trip to Tokyo. 日本的街边小吃摊 “屋台”,过去一般是在两轮拖车的货台上搭起店面,用人力或自行车、摩托车来牵引的移动摊位。但是,最近很多都是经过改装的微型货车或是厨房设备齐全的移动式厨房车。“屋台”多出现在夜晚的大街上,卖的最多最有名的要数关东煮及拉面。但是最近,中午时分在商务办公区面向工薪族销售盒饭或是在各类活动场所及节假日的闹市区摆摊营业的情况也很多。浓浓的日式特色对于前来旅行的外国游客来说,是种渴望又虚幻的存在。这些“屋台”沿河或路边而设,排成一行,形成一条长长的小吃街。屋台虽小,但能感受到最具日本风味的氛围,看到屋台,我的日本之行才算接上了地气。 These mobile stalls offer yaki imo, ramen, oden, takoyaki, and other delights. From noon, these little open-air kitchens form a row of colourful noren curtains and lanterns and fill the evening air with fragrant steam and mouthwatering charcoal yakitori smoke. 有的 “屋台” 则是在路旁搭起帐篷式的简易铺面,称为“设置式”。它们在来客较多的寺院神社的庙会或节日活动的会场上,摆卖“煎章鱼丸”、“炒面”、“御好烧”、棉花糖等各种食物乃至小玩具等。一般提起日本的 “屋台”,人们首先浮现在脑海中的就是这样的情形。 这里充斥着五颜六色的餐车,随处可见满满的排队人潮,完全不输给餐厅。 I really adore these street food stalls called yatai marked with colourful curtains set up shop on the roadsides, creating an enigmatic and cheery atmosphere. Yatai is one of the treats of Japan. The chance to watch the city’s people walk by, eat some of the most delicious street food in Japan, and experience the unique atmosphere is something you should not miss.
屋台虽小,虽挤,但你能感受到与干净整洁的餐厅完全不同的气氛,一种接地气儿的气氛。 如果你洁癖,不喜人挤人,讨厌窄小的环境,那还是不要挑战日本的屋台了。这里没有自来水,只有事先蓄好的一大桶干净水,和一桶洗洁灵水,厨师一人担任着接订单,料理食物,收拾桌子,洗碗和收银的所有工作。如果你喜欢热闹的氛围,又会说一些日文,那真的推荐你来看看。在日本的屋台与其说吃味道,不如说吃气氛,氛围和文化。
