Every place here has its own special dishes, and everything tastes great.

If you're in Shinjuku, you definitely have to check this place out.

This little alley has such a Japanese vibe. The whole street is lined with yakitori izakayas, and there are lots of foreigners like me coming here to check it out.

There are about 70 or 80 restaurants packed into this short street, but some of the facilities and decor are a bit old. The ventilation isn't great, and the hygiene could be a concern. 😓

A lot of places are open even during the day, but most of them serve simple lunch sets or soba noodles. They have English menus for foreign visitors, and if you want to grab a drink, there are izakayas too.
