We found an izakaya where we can eat a lot with our workplace colleagues, and came here. (Of course, great value for money!) Among the colleagues, this is a member who has been particularly close since the training days. The location is just a minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station Central East Exit. The proximity of this location is a great attraction! Being close to the station, the place is very lively with students, office workers, and OLs. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor of a building, but the elevator can be crowded, so we used the stairs. We arrived at the restaurant. There are private rooms of various sizes, from 2 people to 4 people, 6 people, etc. The table for this time is in a large room with several tables, suitable for a medium-sized group to have a party with a sense of privacy. When we entered around 7 pm, there were some empty seats, but as we progressed, almost all seats were filled, and we could hear laughter everywhere. The customers are mostly young office workers, couples, and groups of women. We made a reservation for this course: 3 hours & 30 dishes & meat ROBATA 5 kinds with all-you-can-eat and drink for only 3000 yen!! The price is unbelievably cheap just by looking at the title. Now, we are curious about the content of the dishes (high expectations). When we asked the staff about the dishes, they explained them to us politely. The dishes are served in a set that is predetermined. After finishing that, we can freely choose dishes. First, we toasted with beer and oolong high from the all-you-can-drink menu! Despite being busy, the staff quickly served us. Of course, I had beer, which was delicious and cold! Then, as a starter, they brought: - Edamame - Plenty of vegetable salad. Edamame is perfect with beer. I quickly ordered another beer. Then we shared the salad. The fresh, crunchy salad is juicy. While enjoying the conversation, the meal progressed. Next, we were surprised when the next dish arrived: - Assorted fried foods The dish included nuggets, potatoes, and cheese mochi. The surprising thing was the quantity! The plate seemed to be over 30cm in size. The plate was piled up like a mountain, truly overflowing! It looked like something you'd see on a TV show about eating contests. Everyone was surprised, and the staff kindly told us, "This is very popular. Sometimes, orders come in so quickly that it becomes chaotic." You can eat them with ketchup or as they are. These 3 types of fried foods are delicious, crispy, and well-fried. Among them, the cheese mochi melts softly in your mouth, and it was delicious. The next plate was also large. And then, the attractive meat dishes appeared! - Meat ROBATA 5 kinds assortment: beef tongue, thick-cut bacon, horse sashimi, roast beef, duck breast. "Oh! Which one should we start with?" It's hard to decide. The red and pink meats look delicious. There's a variety of meats to enjoy, which is great. The following impressive service is a must-see! I can't list all the menus, but they include: - Snacks (edamame, chilled tofu, etc.) - Salad (seasonal vegetable salad, etc.) - Fried foods (fried chicken nuggets, chicken nanban, etc.) - Specialty dishes (ginger pork, etc.) - Hot pot (black pork shabu-shabu, etc.) - Meal (kimchi fried rice, grilled udon, etc.) - Dessert (cheesecake, etc.) A total of 30 dishes. All of these are all-you-can-eat. This is a service that I am experiencing for the first time! The unbelievable cost performance and variety of dishes surprised all of us. We looked at each other and said, "Hey, we've never heard of anything like this before. Amazing." We ordered 2 additional items: - Black pork shabu-shabu It has a kelp-based broth with red pepper and wolfberry. The broth is delicious. It's a bit spicy, but the kick adds a nice touch, making it tasty. Also, the presentation of the black pork is beautiful. This meat is so good that we ordered more.

It's been a while since I came to Shinjuku and visited this restaurant. It seems quite popular as it was almost full, so the lukewarm draft beer was not a big deal. They have a variety of snacks, so you can enjoy drinking. I made the most of the all-you-can-drink option after a long time (laughs).

I am the baseball king Sitou! I dedicate my life to the essence of pitching, gourmet food, and alcohol! Even in times like these, we all gotta keep on living, you know! So I've decided to go with a strong style. In the midst of all this, I was invited by a lady to this restaurant. It's a place where you can choose two dishes each for all-you-can-drink. They have a wide variety of alcohol, so you don't have to worry about running out, especially with options like Jim Beam. Talking about the food, the dice steak is really delicious. The flavor of the onion is rich, and the meat is cooked perfectly. The tomato also has a nice touch. Speaking of which, I thought that the fried chicken was really good too, like something out of Kishidan! It gets my Dragons blue blood pumping. In times like these, I support restaurants that stick to a straightforward attitude like this. I am the baseball king, but I'm still a warrior at heart! I won't bend my beliefs. And when you stick to that, the food is delicious, and it's fun with friends too! See you later!

I used it for a drinking party with friends and I was so engrossed in eating that I only have a photo of the porridge, I'm sorry. We ordered a course meal, and the volume was just amazing. Edamame, salad, sashimi, motsunabe (tripe hot pot), french fries, fried chicken, porridge, and I think there was also a roll cake. The taste was normal, but I think the satisfaction level was great. If you have a big appetite, why not give it a try. Thank you for the meal.

I was looking for a place to have lunch and came across a 680 yen set meal. I decided to order the meat and vegetable stir-fry set meal, which came with a drink bar where you could have unlimited refills of drinks like cold oolong tea, cold green tea, iced coffee, and grapefruit juice. The meat and vegetable stir-fry had a slightly strong flavor but was delicious. The restaurant is described as a private room izakaya, but during lunchtime, there were no private partitions and the seating was close to other customers, which was a bit surprising. However, when I visited, most customers were dining alone, so the atmosphere was quiet. The restaurant allows smoking in all seats, so there were many smokers. Overall, it was a quiet and relaxing place to dine.

Hmm, there is just regular meat sushi here, but I'd rather eat it somewhere else even if it's more expensive. The taste isn't that great, the place is cramped, and it feels like I could make it at home and it would taste better. The other customers are noisy and it's not even a private room. It's just not worth it.

There is an izakaya above Ootoya that serves lunch on weekdays and weekends for 680 yen, which includes miso soup, pickles, a main dish, and a drink bar. I tried the chicken in black vinegar sauce, daily curry, motsunabe, and fish set meals, and they were all delicious. Everything is freshly prepared in-house and the chefs are amazing. The restaurant offers private rooms and has a stylish and clean interior. I definitely want to go back for dinner too.

I came here because I wanted to eat meat! The restaurant allows smoking and has private rooms, making it suitable for business entertainment. The dishes look great and are easy to recommend. I went on the weekend and the place was very crowded, so it's better to make a reservation for peace of mind! I would definitely make a reservation and come back again!

We used this restaurant for a New Year's party for a certain group. This is our second time using it. I think this restaurant has the best cost performance. All-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink for just 3000 yen per person, it's like a trump card for the organizer. And you can choose between pork shabu-shabu or motsu nabe as the main hot pot. Plus, you can add on additional items from the all-you-can-eat menu. Thank you as always. It was a feast.

The typhoon has passed, but it's still unbelievably hot in Tokyo in September. It doesn't seem like summer is over yet! After rehearsal, I went to a Japanese izakaya called Yuzan near Bicqlo in Shinjuku. They recommended the motsunabe, so we ordered it. First, we had some appetizers - salted firefly squid and potato salad. Then we had a generous serving of salmon roe with grated daikon. The grilled chicken came in various flavors, and we also ordered the leek skewers. The mountain of potato fries was impressive! The cucumber and myoga salad was refreshing. The chilled tomatoes were perfect for the hot weather. The butter-grilled scallops were huge, and they came with shimeji tempura and myoga. The seafood was especially delicious because they were having a Hokkaido Fair. For the main dish, we had the motsunabe, and we also ordered squid somen while waiting for it. We topped the motsunabe with mentaiko, and it was delicious! We also tried the grilled Joshu beef, which was very satisfying. For dessert, we had vanilla ice cream, which was refreshing. This restaurant offers a lot of vegetables, making it a healthy and cost-effective choice. The large shimeji mushrooms left a strong impression. I feel like I could get healthier by dining here regularly!

I casually went to Shinjuku. I found a cozy izakaya with private rooms where I can relax without worrying about the eyes of neighboring seats. They offer a wide variety of all-you-can-drink options and sake, which is a delight for sake lovers. The izakaya is called Washoku Izakaya Yusen Shinjuku-ten, located about a 2-minute walk from Shinjuku Station East Exit, with the Aozora Bank at your back. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor. I arrived early and got permission to take photos. The private rooms, suitable for groups, looked like this. We started with a toast with cold Premium Malt beer, which was delicious. The Shirasu Japanese-style salad was quite voluminous and had a satisfying crunch with tomatoes decorating the edges. The fresh Shirasu was plump, with a perfect match with lettuce and onions. A must-order salad. The sashimi platter consisted of Kanpachi, Maguro, and Katsuo. Depending on the season, it may vary slightly (not confirmed). It's great to enjoy it with seasonal Meika. Sashimi calls for sake, right? We tried the Dewazakura Dewasansan, which has a fruity ginjo aroma and a rich taste. It's recommended for those who like the taste of Dassai. Finding your favorite flavor from the menu is also one of the fun parts. The yakitori platter had 5 varieties with a choice of sauce or salt. We chose the sauce. The garnish of vegetables was elegantly cut, making the yakitori appealing even to women. The farm-direct Jozu Wagyu Harami was grilled over charcoal. The tomatoes were beautifully arranged. It had a sweet richness, surprisingly light to eat. The highball was irresistible. The meat sushi had a roast beef-like flavor, with the umami of lean meat concentrated. The carrots were designed like butterflies, making it look like a flower garden on cucumbers. Finally, we had vanilla ice cream. Both the drinkers and the eaters were full! When we left after 8 pm, the restaurant was fully packed, so I recommend arriving early or making a reservation. The great all-you-can-drink menu was priced at 1500 yen for 90 minutes. I did not order the all-you-can-drink option. If you plan to have more than 3 drinks, the all-you-can-drink option might be more cost-effective.

Today, I had dinner at a restaurant called "Yuzan" located near Shinjuku East Exit station. Not all rooms are private, but the room I was in felt just right when I took off my sandals. Cheers with orange juice! It was hot today! I started with a refreshing orange juice and enjoyed a delicious salad with avocado and creamy dressing. The wall decorations looked like origami or yuzen, very beautiful. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. The restaurant was packed even on a Sunday night, probably because it's popular being close to the station. The dashimaki tamago was a classic choice and delicious. I also had a refreshing yuzu plum wine on the rocks. The homemade roast beef was amazing, with a delicious sauce. The scallop sashimi was fresh and tasty. The sweet potato sticks were addictive, especially with honey. The garlic shrimp was crispy and flavorful, perfect with plum wine. Finally, the marbled beef steak was cooked medium and incredibly tender and tasty. The restaurant is conveniently located near Shinjuku station, with easy access via the stairs to the 3rd floor of the building.

I met up with my friends for the last time in the Heisei era and went to a cozy izakaya where we could relax. It's located about a 2-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, making it very convenient! The entire restaurant has private rooms with a traditional Japanese atmosphere, which is very calming. It's nice to be able to chat with friends in a private room without any worries. We debated whether to go for a course menu, but ended up ordering a la carte. This restaurant offers a variety of regional sake from all over Japan, which was a delightful surprise! Here are my recommendations: - Carpaccio: We started with this refreshing dish, which is a perfect match for sake. - Assorted platter of prosciutto and cheese: Prosciutto and cheese always go well together, and it's a classic choice at izakayas that you can't resist. It pairs perfectly with sake. - Frosty beef steak: As meat lovers, we didn't hesitate to order this dish. It was incredibly tender and melted in our mouths. The portion was generous, and we were very satisfied. - Grilled salted prawns: I love prawns, so this menu item got me excited! The sweet and plump prawn meat was amazing! I could eat as many as I wanted. - Chicken nanban: The crispy coating and juicy meat inside were irresistible. The generous portion was perfect for sharing with everyone. This goes well with beer. - Shrimp ajillo: The enticing aroma of garlic stimulates the appetite! The plump shrimp and bread are a perfect match. - Tiramisu cake: Even when we were full, we couldn't resist dessert. It was more satisfying than expected. In summary, we used this place for a girls' night out, but the calm atmosphere in the private rooms makes it suitable for couples or company gatherings as well.

New student welcome parties and new employee welcome parties often involve a lot of drinking, right? I often find myself in charge of planning these events, so it can be tough to find a suitable restaurant each time. This time, I was tasked with finding a place in Shinjuku, and after some research, I came across the Izakaya restaurant Yusan Shinjuku branch. The restaurant is conveniently located just a three-minute walk from Shinjuku Station East Exit. ■■■Izakaya Restaurant Yusan Shinjuku Branch THE BEST■■■ - Sashimi 5-point platter: Mackerel, salmon, bonito tataki, octopus, yellowtail, and salmon roe, making it 6 points instead of 5! A generous service that exceeds the standard izakaya quality. The freshness really shines through in the taste. - Grilled crab miso in the shell: You can also order sake at the same time and enjoy a perfect pairing. The rich crab miso, charred to perfection, will whet your appetite. - Salami platter: A must-order appetizer! The thick, flavorful salami slowly melts in your mouth, becoming addictive. - Homemade roast beef: A staff-recommended menu item that we didn't hesitate to order. The roast beef comes with a surprise potato salad in the center, adding to the deliciousness. - Salmon roe rice bowl: A delightful surprise at the end of the meal, the salmon roe rice bowl was a hit with the young crowd. It was definitely a good choice!

After shopping in Shinjuku, I went to a Japanese izakaya called Yuuzan Shinjuku for a meal before heading home. The location is very convenient, about a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station and 2-3 minutes from Shinjuku Sanchome Station. We started with a cassis soda for a toast, and I thought the variety of cocktails and sours would be great for a girls' night out. The avocado and prosciutto salad looked like a mountain and tasted fresh with lots of vegetables. The homemade roast beef was tender and delicious, and I couldn't get enough of it. The prosciutto and cheese platter had creamy and smooth cheese that melted in my mouth. The bonito tataki was fresh and tasty, and the Kumamoto horse meat roast was also delicious. The red sangria was easy to drink, and the chicken liver pate paired perfectly with it. The assorted skewers and garlic fried potatoes were hot and satisfying, while the garlic shrimp and baguette were a great combination. The torimabushi was a delightful way to end the meal, especially when turned into ochazuke. The fondant chocolate dessert was cute and delicious. I ate so much because the food was so good!

The first location closed at a certain time, so we decided to find a second place to continue our conversation while watching TV. We were approached by a catcher and decided to visit "Yuzan" for our next stop. We had a complimentary dish of cabbage with a salty black pepper sauce, a platter of assorted sausages for 880 yen, and 10 pieces of hand-grabbed aged chicken for 580 yen. The complimentary dish had a familiar salty taste with black pepper. The sausages seemed to be made in a central kitchen, and the one we tried was probably chorizo with a mild spiciness. The chicken came with four different sauces, and the garlic soy sauce was the most enjoyable. Thank you for the delicious meal. We look forward to visiting the first location next time and trying more dishes.

The famous shop supervised by the winner of the mountain hiking fried chicken grand prix, the fried chicken. I don't fry at home, so I always order this kind of thing. It's super hot and delicious. The crab miso shell bake is served in a cute crab shell. Scallops butter grilled, a new twist on scallops with lemon butter. The joy of surprise! Wagyu beef steak, a protein must-have. Sashimi platter, a classic choice for sharing with everyone. Big salt-grilled prawns, a big and delicious dish. Garlic shrimp, crispy and delicious. The nostalgic melodies playing in the restaurant made me drag my reluctant partner to karaoke afterwards. (laughs)

Enjoying chicken sukiyaki in Shinjuku~♪ Visited Yuzan Shinjuku, a Japanese izakaya located next to Ichiran near Shinjuku Central East Exit, taking the elevator to the 3rd floor. The entrance with cherry blossoms in full bloom and a lattice door welcomes you to a cozy and elegant interior. Starting with a cold beer to relax, the appetizers included octopus with wasabi, duck, and vinegar octopus. The extensive menu offers a variety of fish and meat dishes, making it hard to choose. The first dish we tried was the Mason jar salad for 680 yen, featuring crunchy sweet bell peppers and avocado with a tangy dressing. Next, we ordered the assorted yakitori for 750 yen, which included bacon-wrapped tomato and tsukune along with the classic chicken skewers. The tomato and tsukune were delicious, and the chicken was perfectly grilled. To complement the meal, we chose Shimeharizuru Junmai Ginjo sake for 600 yen. For the main dish, we had the chicken sukiyaki for 1280 yen per person, with tender and flavorful chicken cooked in a light soy sauce broth. The meal was accompanied by plenty of vegetables and tofu, making it a healthy and satisfying option. We also enjoyed the sausage platter for 880 yen, featuring juicy and spicy sausages. To pair with the hearty dishes, we ordered Highball whiskey for 500 yen. Despite indulging in a high-calorie meal, the bill came out to be surprisingly reasonable at 5000 yen per person. Overall, it was a delightful chicken feast with a variety of dishes and a cozy atmosphere. A great place for both a la carte dining and affordable party options. Next time, we'll have to try the chicken hot pot party set for only 3980 yen!

Today, I came to Shinjuku for a girls' night out with 4 friends from my school days. Since everyone lives in different places, we decided to meet in Shinjuku for easy access! We visited the restaurant "Washoku Izakaya Yusen Shinjuku Store". It is located right near Shinjuku Station East Exit, so the access is good. When we entered the restaurant, it was bustling with a lot of customers. We were seated in a private room with a sunken kotatsu style table. It looked like a relaxing space. First, we chose our drinks for a toast! Each of us ordered our favorite drinks... Rossi Jockey, draft beer, yuzu highball, cassis orange. The course for the day included: - Appetizer - Roast beef salad - Assorted sashimi - Grilled crab miso - Assorted grilled meats - Beef tendon simmered in miso - Miyazaki specialty Chicken Nanban - Assorted meat sushi - Seasonal dessert That's a total of 9 items. Looks like a lot of food! We were served our drinks promptly. Let's start with a toast~. The portion sizes were generous and we were happy about that. The appetizer was a seasonal appetizer, consisting of 2 types - octopus and roast beef. Next was the roast beef salad. It had roast beef, carrot, onion slices, tomato, lettuce, and was colorful and voluminous. There was more meat than salad! So we enjoyed the meat a lot. Then came the assorted sashimi. It was a mix of 3 types of fresh fish, which changes daily. On this day, it was salmon, sea bream, and mackerel. The presentation was beautiful with carrot slices cut into butterfly shapes. The meat skewers included horse meat, beef tongue, duck bacon, and thick-cut bacon. All the meats had a good texture and were generously portioned. The grilled crab miso was creamy and rich. It went well with alcohol. Since it was all-you-can-drink, we kept ordering more drinks. The Chicken Nanban was juicy and coated with a sweet sauce. The fried chicken was crispy and the sweet sauce with tartar sauce was plentiful. The plate was overflowing with chicken. It was a Miyazaki specialty dish and was delicious! Our stomachs were getting full, but there were more dishes to come. Next was the beef tendon simmered in miso. It had beef tendon, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, daikon, and was flavorful. It had a spicy kick and was delicious. The final dish was meat sushi. It was a unique menu item, consisting of roast beef, bacon, and duck meat. It was a luxurious experience to taste different types of meat in sushi form. We enjoyed comparing and tasting the 3 types of meat sushi with wasabi and lemon. Despite being full, we finished everything. The dessert was milk crepe with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. The milk crepe was soft and sweet, with a perfect petite size. All this food, with all-you-can-drink, was only 3,980 yen. Amazing, right? We had plenty of drinks, a variety of dishes, and a fun party. Especially, we enjoyed trying different types of meat! The staff were friendly and we had a good time chatting with them. It was a delightful experience. Thank you for the meal!

-Washoku Izakaya Yuyama Shinjuku Store Located behind the Big Rox in Shinjuku. I went to drink at the Washoku Izakaya Yuyama Shinjuku Store. I was surprised to see so many customers even though it was a Monday! First, I toasted with Suntory's Premium Malt. -Cobb Potato Salad I couldn't decide on the salad, so I chose the Cobb Potato Salad, which has potato salad on top. I like both Cobb salad and potato salad. -Liver Pate In between dishes, I also had a light snack of liver pate. I spread it on crackers and enjoyed it. -Shirakiku Sake Shirakiku sake. It doesn't say on the bottle, but the catchphrase is "Junai Ginjo." It somehow feels like Shinjuku. -Domestic Young Chicken Karaage This karaage is crispy, juicy, and delicious. It's big and looks like it could be fought over. -Crab Miso Shell Grill Crab miso grilled in a hearty crab shell. This goes well with sake. -A4 Wagyu Steak Meat! The balance of tender, flavorful lean meat and sweet fat is exquisite. -Sweet Potato Tempura Crispy sweet potato tempura drizzled with honey. -Chicken Sukiyaki As it's getting colder, we had a hot pot. Chicken sukiyaki with plenty of vegetables and meat. The shiitake mushrooms add a nice flavor. -Chicken Mabushi We finished with chicken mabushi. It's delicious on its own or with broth poured over it. It feels like tasting the best parts of various dishes.
