I wonder why they don't sell ginkgo nuts since it is Ginkgo Tree Festival.
Roasted or deep-fried ginkgo nuts are tasty and I sometimes eat them.

ThisJapanese style bar restaurant (called Izakaya) offers great seafood, especially sashimi.Their grilled chicken on a skewer is also tasty.This Izakaya is kind of unknown for tourists, because it is not situated in downtown Tokyo.

Standing Bar BANPAIYA 晩杯屋 in TokyoThis bar is still unknown spot for international tourists.BANPAIYA 晩杯屋 is really popular with local people.Most of the dishes cost between 130 and 310 yen. Only a few kinds of dishes are 490 yen.

Ginkgo nuts marinated in olive oil are not my favorite taste. It was too soft. I recommend the roasted one and deep fried one.
