The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Ueno, Asakusa
Traces of the history and culture of the Edo (old Tokyo) era remain vividly in Ueno and Asakusa. Spacious Ueno Park is a great place to relax and visit a variety of different museums and galleries. At Ameyoko which starts in front of Ueno station, the grocery stores and clothing shops are crammed alongside fishmongers. It gets particularly busy at the end of the year, when many people go on shopping sprees. The town of Asakusa, developed around Sensoji temple, has many shops selling goods and clothing from old Japan, making it a great place for souvenir hunting. It's also known for various annual festivals, and the whole district gets involved with the huge Sanja Festival in May.

It's about a 5-minute walk from the Shinobazu Exit of Ueno Station. There are yakiniku and kimchi restaurants lined up around the back of the building. It's like Ueno's Korean Town.

久しぶりに上野のコリアンタウンに行った。以前は駐車場だったところにビルが出来ていた。各店舗はあったがこのコロナの状況で客がほとんどいなくて、以前行ったこともある焼肉屋も平日は休店しているところがあった。そんな中「共栄」さんでキムチ、きゅうりムルキムチ、ヤンニョンジャンを購入!今日はキムチ鍋!

すっかり新大久保の方が有名になってしまった感がありますが、都内で一番古いコリアンタウン。
上野より御徒町に近く、元々この辺りはごちゃごちゃした街並みで、キムチ横丁は特に昭和そのままという感じ。
その名の通りキムチのお店が目立ちますが、ゴボウやトマトといった変わったキムチもありました。

戦後の混乱期にアメ横の闇市で商売していた在日朝鮮人の一部が、この地区に移転したものがここが誕生した理由とのこと。焼肉屋や自家製キムチ、ホルモンを販売する商店が10軒ほど軒を連ねています。平日のお昼過ぎだったためでしょうか、この街を訪れるお客さんをほとんど見かけることはありませんでした。

キムチ横丁という名は初めて聞きましたが、東上野のコリアンタウンにあります。
名前の通りにキムチを売っている店が散見されます。

ここで食べたキンパという、日本でいう海苔巻きがとてもおいしかったです。いろんなお野菜のナムルがあり、韓国のお店が並びます。キムチは辛すぎてびっくりしました

最近、東京でコリアンタウンと言えば、新大久保が定着していますが、実は東京で一番最初にできたコリアンタウンは、上野にあります。
もちろん、全体的にとても古いので、若い女性の方には新大久保の方をおすすめしますが、レトロなコリアンタウンを楽しむのであれば、こちらの「キムチ横丁」もおすすめです。
韓国の食材などを扱っているお店もあります。
