Farmer's Market @UNU Tokyo: foodies won't want to miss this

One of the nicest Farmer's Markets we've been to in a long time!

The Farmer's Market @UNU Tokyo is a must-visit for foodies. This small farmer's market in Tokyo is only held on Saturdays and Sundays, so a bit of planning is required! We're on our second day in Tokyo I started with a visit to the Farmer's Market @UNU. This market is located between the Shibuya and Harajuku districts along a busy road. At the Farmer's Market @UNU Tokyo, there are two long aisles lined with stalls and various food trucks where you can enjoy a delicious meal or a Japanese beer. There are also some antique stalls in the covered area of ​​the market, but honestly, they're not that great. Unlike the Farmer's Market @UNU Tokyo itself!

The nice thing about this farmer's market in Tokyo I love that you can taste something almost everywhere. It's wonderful to see all those organic products together! From organic ginger ale to dried bonito tuna for snacking, and from unique teas to fermented vegetables. I'd love to take everything home with me. The tasting alone was a treat! After browsing the market, we ate a few pieces of super tender suckling pig at a food truck. If you're into that kind of thing, it's truly delicious. But the cutest thing was the little goat that came along to the big city for a day from the farm <3!
