A little ways south of Tokyo is Kamakura. Kamakura is one of those ultra historical places in Japan. It was the capital of Japan during the... blah blah blah... stop paraphrasing Wikipedia.
Oh snap, Kamakura is also a lesser known G.I. Joe character! Word.
One of the popular activities enjoyed by all at places like this is snacking. Straight up just eating a bunch of street food as you wander down the alleys. In Japanese お菓子, okashi, is often sweet, sometimes made with local ingredients, many days containing sweet red beans, usually delicious, and on occasion completely whack. I'm talking about fermented squid inards. So be careful what you bite into... and enjoy.
