This is a 24-hour restaurant similar to the morning eateries in Kabukicho, where people who have been drinking until morning often come. Many customers continue drinking with snacks like sake-steamed clams and salted fish eggs. The kettle rice is a bit pricey, and it's better to repeat your order to the elderly waiter a few times because they might not hear you the first time.笑

On this day, after hopping from one place to another, I stopped by a restaurant called "Kamameshi Hana" in Kabukicho. I had heard of this place before but never had the chance to visit. I was surprised to find out that they are open 24 hours, and also surprised that my stomach still had room for more food. I ordered the Salmon Ikura Kamameshi for 1680 yen. I also had a draft beer and some tempura as a side dish. The meal came with miso soup and pickles as well. Even though I was already full, I finished with a light tea rice. Sometimes kamameshi is a good choice. The price was reasonable too. Apart from kamameshi, they also serve delicious Botan Shabu Shabu. I will definitely visit again if I have the chance.

I wanted to try kama-meshi, so I stopped by this restaurant and ordered two types of kama-meshi. It was decent, nothing too special. The other dishes were also good. However, when I ordered another glass of Hoppy, the eccentric old man with a sake bottle in hand came to pour it for me. I like that I can stop him whenever I want. It's a charming kama-meshi restaurant with a touch of the old town atmosphere.

I went for breakfast! It was early in the morning and there were many people who had just finished drinking. The fact that they are open 24 hours is really a strength. I ordered the silver shari set meal, and the freshly cooked white rice in the kettle rice was really good. The miso soup with potatoes in it was also very delicious, I wanted to eat my friend's leftovers too haha.

"Kana" is a 24-hour rice cooker restaurant in the Kabukicho area that also offers delivery services. Today, I didn't have much of an appetite, so I focused on healthier options like grilled chicken. However, the grilled chicken was surprisingly delicious. The moist and juicy grilled chicken and skewers were great. The cost performance is also good, so I would like to use this place again.

I arrived at Shinjuku City Hall. Quickly took care of my business and now I'm exploring Kabukicho looking for lunch. I found a sign with a pot on top of it - Kamameshi Hanasan. Oh, it's open 24 hours? Impressive! It's past 12:00, but there are still customers enjoying kamameshi, so maybe it takes a bit of time? I ordered the Chicken Gomoku Kamameshi for ¥990 - the Chinese translation is Chicken Five-Ingredient Pot Rice. It arrived in 20 minutes! The pot was filled with chicken, burdock, carrot, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and quail egg. I thought the yellow thing was pickled radish, but it turned out to be chestnut! The piping hot miso soup had potatoes and yuzu in it. It was fragrant and delicious! It was a generous portion, about three bowls worth. I'm so full now. The bill was ¥1090 before tax. Maybe the reason there aren't many customers is the time and price? I think the four-digit price is worth it though.

On this day, I went to TOHO Shinjuku to watch a movie. After the movie, I decided to have lunch and take a walk down Hanamichi Street, behind TOHO Shinjuku, where the recently opened APA Hotel is located. Even during the day, Kabukicho is lively. As I passed by the famous Yarou Sushi Honten on the corner and crossed the Ward Office Street, I found this place on my right. It's a kama-meshi restaurant that is open 24 hours. It looked interesting, so I decided to give it a try. What I ordered: - Chicken and mixed vegetable kama-meshi @900 yen - Draft beer @550 yen The restaurant had a small and cozy interior with tables lined up. When I mentioned I was dining alone, I was guided to a vacant table near the entrance. The menu was more extensive than I expected, offering not only kama-meshi but also set meals served in the kama pot and various snacks for drinking. There was a set menu with kama-meshi, 5 grilled chicken skewers, and a small beer, which seemed like a good deal, but I opted for the chicken and mixed vegetable kama-meshi and a draft beer instead. As I sipped on my beer, I observed the atmosphere inside the restaurant. It was definitely Kabukicho. There were people having a casual lunch as well as young drinkers. And there were some residents of Kabukicho with a peculiar aura about them (laughs). The restaurant was run by two elderly men who seemed a bit reserved. The kama-meshi took a bit of time to be cooked after ordering, but that was understandable. The portion size was decent for the price. The taste was not exceptional, but it was satisfactory. The rice had a nice crispy texture as well. Overall, it was an interesting experience at this 24-hour kama-meshi restaurant.

◼️Using Niigata Prefecture's specially cultivated rice "Koshihikari" directly delivered from Minamiuonuma farmers. Reasonably priced kama-meshi (kettle rice) available. A variety of side dishes are also rich and suitable for drinking. ◆Salmon and salmon roe kama-meshi is a popular menu item at this restaurant. The salmon roe portion is small but the buttery flavor is reliable and satisfying! Ready in about 20 minutes. ◼️Restaurant open 24 hours. Smoking allowed in all seats. Delivery within Kabukicho area is possible. ◼️◼️This restaurant has been around for decades. The warm hospitality of the owner and elderly gentlemen, including the head chef, is heartwarming. The only privately owned kama-meshi restaurant in Kabukicho.

Trapped in the pot, the ingredients and rice are packed tightly together in a Goyemon-style bath. When the pressure is released, the lid is lifted and flowers bloom. How to entertain customers is the never-ending task of the hospitality industry. Even though it is quiet with the morning sun, Kabukicho welcomes all. At 7:05 am, a table was available. I was brought a glass of water. I ordered the Chicken Gomoku Kamameshi for 990 yen, which was served in about 20 minutes. It came with pickles and miso soup. The kamameshi had chunks of chicken and the flavor was light but well-infused. The rice was a little soft. Other ingredients included burdock, fried tofu, carrot, and shiitake mushrooms. The miso soup had chunks of potatoes with a hint of yuzu. It had a refreshing taste. The fact that they serve kamameshi 24 hours a day adds value to this place. At other tables, warriors who have finished their night shifts were passionately debating since early morning. Kabukicho is still hot until dawn! It is a city that never sleeps, welcoming all kinds of people.

After the farewell party ended, I planned to have fun in the city at night, but unexpectedly there was a person involved in an accident, and the train was not moving. So, I ended up dining alone. There were surprisingly many places to eat alone in Kabukicho, and after some thought, I decided to go eat kama-meshi. I ordered the chicken kama-meshi. I waited for almost 20 minutes until it was ready. When I opened the lid, the aroma was amazing. Surprisingly, the portion was large and I ended up feeling full. Although it's a kama-meshi restaurant, they have a lot of izakaya menu items, so it's a place you can use for a second round as well. They have all the measures in place for inbound customers, so I think it's a good place to visit with international friends. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by this 24-hour kamameshi restaurant after a night of drinking to satisfy my hunger. It's rare to find a kamameshi restaurant open 24 hours. I ordered the ikura and salmon kamameshi, and agedashi tofu. They offer kamameshi sets and set meals, but also have a variety of a la carte options, making it a great place for drinking. The agedashi tofu came with eggplant, which was a nice touch. The tofu was smooth and delicious with a gentle dashi flavor. I only ordered one kamameshi set, but they provided miso soup for everyone. The kamameshi was full of ingredients and had a nice crispy texture without being too heavy. It was delicious and easy to eat even when drunk!

I found this restaurant by chance on my way home after drinking. It was open 24 hours, so I decided to go in. The interior was not very spacious, but the staff, an old man, was very kind! I ordered something called "hana kamameshi" and it was delicious! I also ordered yakitori, which was incredibly tasty! It had been a while since I had kamameshi, but it was so good!

I had been curious about this restaurant for a while. I tried the mushroom rice cooked in a pot and it was delicious.

The Ebi Kamameshi was delicious! There were also many other dishes that seemed like they would be great as appetizers with drinks, so I would like to try those next time.

It seems that this place is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, which is very convenient as you can go whenever you like. Although it is known as a kama-meshi (kettle rice) restaurant, they also offer tonkatsu set meals, seasonal dishes like grilled saury set meals, kushikatsu, and various other dishes. I have visited this restaurant many times, but I have never tried their kama-meshi menu. What I really love is their "Grilled Tomato Cheese Risotto" dish. It is incredibly delicious, especially when you add honey to it. However, I was told that they stopped adding honey to the dish because it was unpopular, so you have to request it if you want it. The grilled tomato cheese risotto is unique and highly recommended. The kushikatsu is also worth trying, as it is crispy and delicious, although a bit pricey at around 200 yen per skewer. The foreign staff members at the restaurant create a relaxed atmosphere, which is quite different from the Kabukicho area, but it adds to the charm of the place. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for those who enjoy unique and delicious food!

I love kama-meshi (rice cooked in a pot) and tororo-yaki (grilled grated yam).

The red snapper collar is delicious!
