Ise Oharaimachi Street, which runs along the Isuzu River from the Uchimiya Uji Bridge, has developed as a town in front of the Uchimiya Shrine's torii gate. Okage Yokocho is located halfway through Oharaimachi. Almost all of the buildings are unified in wooden architecture with gabled, hip-and-gable roofs and gabled roofs, creating a retro landscape that is perfect for walking around in a kimono. There are restaurants, souvenir shops, and historic buildings unique to Ise, making it a fun street even just to walk along. There is a lot of food to eat on the go! It's fine to buy and eat whatever you find, but it would be a waste to get full on the way. This time, we will introduce a carefully selected list of recommended food to eat on the go.

●Dumpling shop

This dumpling specialty shop offers freshly baked dumplings with a variety of flavors to choose from, including mitarashi, brown sugar syrup, kinako, and raw soy sauce. It's not often you get to eat warm, freshly baked dumplings with a nice char on the outside, is it? If you go to the back of the shop and go down the stairs, you'll reach the Isuzu River. You can eat your dumplings while looking out at the clear river surface, so why not enjoy a Japanese-style space with kimonos, a river, and dumplings?

● Fried seaweed tempura

This is a shop that serves deep-fried seafood made with fresh seafood. The "Tako-bo" and "Cheese-bo" stick-type snacks are great to eat on the go. Both are made with fluffy, minced fish paste and are delicious. The Tako-bo is a popular item, filled with plenty of octopus and pickled ginger. The shop's recommended "Jaga Butter Ten" has a strong buttery flavor and is very filling, with chunky potatoes inside.

●Tofuan Yamanaka

The popular "Unohana Donuts" are made by tofu makers using okara, which is produced during the tofu-making process. They are fluffy and healthy donuts that are gentle on the body. They are wrapped so that you can eat them on the go, so you can buy just one. The "Otofu Soft Serve" contains over 50% tofu and is also available in a mini size, perfect for children and women.

●Oiseya Honpo

When you think of Mie Prefecture, you think of Matsusaka beef.

Although it has a high-end image, skewers are reasonably priced. The smell of Matsusaka beef skewers being grilled in front of the store will tempt you, and you'll likely end up ordering a lot. You can also enjoy Matsusaka beef in other dishes such as Fukuman filled with sweet and spicy shigure, and croquettes. Although it is a restaurant that specializes in eating on the go, it also has benches and verandas, making it perfect for those who want to take a break from walking around in unfamiliar kimonos.

●Ebiya Shoten Abalone Skewer Stall

Abalone caught in Ise-Shima. This is also a luxury food, but you can eat it grilled on a skewer. The soft, thick abalone is simply grilled with salt, or with homemade butter and soy sauce. In Ise-Shima, there is a legend that if a pregnant woman eats abalone, she will give birth to a baby with beautiful eyes.

● Whole Fruit Juice Shop

They will scoop out the flesh of an orange or grapefruit and make juice for you right away. It's a very unique dish, where you drink the whole fruit through a straw. Taking a photo of the refreshing citrus color against the blue sky is sure to make a great social media hit. It's very popular with young women, as it's cute and impactful. You can feel the flesh and juice directly, and it's not only good to look at, but it also tastes good.
