It’s like a food truck,  MacDonald or a ramen shop in the US. Most of B-class gourmet are inexpensive, convenient, and delicious!

They say they became a champion on B-class gourmet competition. It’s called MISOPOTATO. $2.

It’s a skewer with 4 pieces of potato tempura. Sweet miso sauce on top. It’s hot and so yum!

Inside of food court, you can get a shoyu (soy sauce based) ramen with chasu (pork) bowl lunch special! It’s only $7.

The best B-class gourmet today is Green Tea soft cream. It looks froyo but it’s not.
