Lonely Planet review

The specialty in the Meidōchō district, north of Nagoya Station and west of Nagoya-jō, is okashi , Japanese snacks and penny nibbles ( sembei rice crackers to sweet-potato sticks, dried fish to sponge cake), plus small toys like action figures, beads and balloons. Dozens of wholesalers display their wares in a manner that may dispel any notion of Japanese neatness.
