Experience Japanese Nostalgia at Dagashi Bar

Experience Japanese Nostalgia at Dagashi Bar

Dagashi refers to cheap candies and snack foods that can generally be bought for a few ten yen coins. They used to be available in privately-run candy stores in every town but now no longer exist. However, the popularity of Dagashi has been revived by people who fondly remember the 1950s to 1980s period and the Ningyocho Dagashi Bar, where you can eat dagashi as much as you like, draws a lot of attention today. You can also enjoy izakaya (Japanese style bar) dishes and drinks in the bar with a retro atmosphere. Enjoy snacking on as many dagashi such as "Umaibo", "Momotaro", and "Cut Yotchan" as you want. The friendly service from staff members is also nice.
