Ameyoko Market

Ameyoko Market is a shopping market in Ueno, Tokyo, where Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, and Thai restaurants are found together. Inside the market, izakayas serve sashimi, motsuni, yakitori, seafood platters, and grilled mackerel as drinking snacks alongside alcohol. The market gets crowded, and arriving at 11 a.m. can mean receiving an entry number for 12:50 p.m. because of the long wait. Japanese and Korean staff who speak Korean well make it easier to get menu recommendations and place orders.
