Omoide Yokocho is most well-known for motsunabe (stewed giblets) and yakitori. Why?
THE HISTORY:
Following WWII, flour was a authorities regulated good and ramen / noodles weren’t on the market to street stands. As an alternative, restaurant owners turned to non-regulated parts like pig and cow enthralls which had been accessible and low-cost from American servicemen occupying city. From this, motsunabe (stewed giblets) and yakitori (from enthralls) had been born.
