Our journey continued as we ventured into a hidden food court on the second floor of the Solado building. There, we tasted the Arirang Hot Dog for 430 YEN (approximately $3.80 US dollars) and the Black Takoyaki for 500 YEN (roughly $4.50 US dollars), a unique bamboo charcoal-infused version of the famous Japanese snack.
