Foods in EXPO
EXPO limited foods are sold at EXPO. For example, Hokkahokka-tei ほっかほっか亭 is Japanese boxed meal shop and the shops are all over Japan. However usual menu is not sold at EXPO Hokkahokka-tei. The EXPO menu is more gorgeous, and for people from foreign countries. Hokkaihokkai-tei is a Japanese food shops but we don’t eat such a gorgeous meal in our ordinary days.
Furthermore, the foods at kitchen car are very expensive compared to the almost same meal that is sold at a Japanese theme park such as Disney Resort or Universal Studio Japan. A Chicken leg with dip sauce is 2,000 yen at the EXPO but it’s sold less than half price at a theme park.
The foods at food court are relatively reasonable. There are Thai food, pizza, breads and some Japanese menus such as sushi, and ramen. Advance reservations for seats at the food court are available. It’s 500 yen per seat. If you’d like to take a seat certainly, it’s better to reserve the seats.
