Tokyo Disneyland Foods
Here’s our list of the must-try foods at Tokyo Disneyland:
Tokyo Disneyland Foods Offered All Year
1. Mike Wazowski Melon Pan
Melon pan (melon bread) is a popular snack in Japan, and you can find it anywhere. Disneyland’s Sweetheart Cafe offers melon pan in the form of the lovable monster Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. The melon pan does not have cream inside, but the bread has a melon flavor and is topped with chocolate. This combination is unusual, but it'll make you want to go back for seconds.
2. Hungry Bear Curry
Japanese curry is served all over Disneyland, but our top pick for this Japanese comfort food is Hungry Bear Restaurant. Our recommendation is the tonkatsu curry. The crunchy texture of the cutlet pairs well with the savory curry. They also have other flavors, such as chicken and roasted vegetables. During certain periods of the year, they will have limited edition curry such as hamburg curry with egg (displayed in the photo above).
3. Mickey Burger & Mickey Chicken Nuggets
Who doesn’t love a good burger? Well, at Disneyland you can get a delicious burger in the shape of Mickey! After coming out of Space Mountain, head over to Tomorrowland Terrace and grab a bite. If you come early, this is the perfect breakfast, with its fluffy bun and fried egg in the middle. Get it with a side of chicken nuggets for lunch.
4. Teriyaki Bun in the Shape of Mickey's Glove
If you haven’t noticed, Disney has so many different buns that it's difficult to try them all. These Mickey-shaped buns come in various flavors, such as chicken, teriyaki, and pork. Our favorite, however, is the teriyaki bun located at Tomorrowland. It isn’t your typical extravagant meal, but it makes for a great portable snack as you move on to the next attraction.
5. Mickey Castella
Castella is a popular Japanese dessert that originated in Portugal and was introduced to Japan in the 16th century. Disney took this confectionery and transformed it into a cute Mickey Mouse shape for an Instagram-worthy dessert that Disneyland lovers will love. You can find this sweet treat in different flavors, such as chocolate. Head over to Cleo's in Fantasyland and grab one for yourself!
6. Seafood Pizza
Disneyland offers different foods for those with dietary restrictions, which is perfect for pescatarians and seafood lovers. This pizza is topped with scallops, shrimp, and a good amount of cheese. Eat it while it's hot to get that Instagrammable cheese pull. Get this pizza at Captain Hook’s Gallery and enjoy your meal with your favorite Disney drink with front-row seats to the daytime parades!
Seasonal Tokyo Disneyland Foods
7. D's Delights Ruby Chocolate and Raspberry Milk (Valentine's Day)
During the winter season, you can grab yourself a nice warm raspberry milk drink (pictured on the left) at Squeezer’s Tropical Fruit Bar. This drink tastes exactly how it sounds — it is sweet but with a raspberry flavor that adds a bit of tang. This drink is decorated with red sprinkles and pink chocolate chips, adding to the festive vibe of the season.
8. Captain Hook Sparkling Boba (Christmas)
Going to Tokyo Disneyland during the holidays is always a delight. Expect tons of specialty items and food. If a sudden boba craving hits during your Disneyland trip, no worries, Disneyland’s got your back. Stop by Captain Hook’s Gallery and grab yourself a serving of this sparkling drink.
9. Captain Hook Sundae (Christmas)
Normally, soft-serve ice cream is served plain or with some sauce. This soft serve comes with a layer of crunchy cornflakes at the bottom and a generous amount of raspberry coulis, giving this sweet treat a nice variety of flavors and textures: creamy, crunchy, and fruity! Find this yummy dessert at Captain Hook's Gallery.
When it comes to Tokyo Disneyland food, there are abundant cute and Insta-worthy snacks and dishes to choose from. Of all the Disney-themed food I tried, my favorite is the sparkling boba and seafood pizza. After grabbing my meal and taking a seat, shows started playing and passing by, so it was a fantastic experience.
Tokyo Disneyland tickets are cheaper than most parks, costing around about $77 USD for a day trip.
