I visited a nice-looking restaurant while wandering around Kabukicho on a Sunday at 7:03 pm. I was seated at a table on the 2nd floor. I ordered the 980 yen all-you-can-drink option and had a brand of barley shochu called Wan Ko on the rocks. The appetizer, priced at 380 yen, included grated daikon radish, seaweed, and beans in a sauce. For snacks, I ordered raw tuna sashimi for 750 yen, raw liver for 780 yen, homemade quail eggs for 390 yen, and skate fin for 390 yen. There were young couples among the customers. I had a great time. Thank you for the meal.

Located just a 2-minute walk from Seibu Shinjuku Station, "Torikyo Shinjuku Main Store" is an izakaya known for its delicious chicken dishes in the heart of Kabukicho. The interior has a modern Japanese style that blends well with the lively atmosphere. The "SHUN Seasonal Course" (3,480 yen) includes: 1. Today's appetizer: A tantalizing dish made with seasonal ingredients. 2. Seasonal vegetable salad: A beautiful Caesar salad with fresh seasonal vegetables. 3. Today's special: Fresh salmon and octopus marinated in a refreshing flavor. 4. Crispy chicken tempura: A perfect combination of crispy coating and juicy chicken meat. 5. Assorted grilled chicken skewers: A selection of delicious grilled chicken showcasing the charm of Miyazaki chicken. 6. Special chicken rice bowl: A wonderful combination of fragrant chicken and rice. 7. Seasonal dessert: A fluffy sponge cake topped with plenty of strawberries. The sweet and tangy flavor of the strawberries is irresistible!

The other day, I went to a specialty chicken restaurant called "Torikyo" in Shinjuku. They use domestically produced brand chicken called "Miohime Chicken". The restaurant is located in Kabukicho, close to Seibu Shinjuku Station. This time, I ordered the 7-course "SHUN Course": Today's appetizer, Seasonal vegetable salad, Today's special dish, Miohime Chicken tempura, Assorted Miohime Chicken skewers, Special Miohime Chicken rice bowl, Seasonal dessert. But when I looked back later, it turned out they also included an appetizer, so there were actually 8 dishes in total. - Appetizer: Salted kombu cabbage and quail eggs. The quail eggs had a delicious flavor. - Today's appetizer: Salmon and octopus carpaccio. It was nice to have two different types. - Seasonal vegetable salad: Caesar dressing with plenty of croutons, a flavor I like. - Today's special dish: Stir-fried vegetables with motsu (offal). A generous portion. - Miohime Chicken tempura: Since it's a chicken restaurant, the chicken tempura was delicious. It also came with sweet potato tempura and bell pepper tempura. - Assorted Miohime Chicken skewers: Also delicious, as expected from a chicken restaurant. - Special Miohime Chicken rice bowl: It looks very simple, but this was my favorite. - Seasonal dessert: Topped with strawberries and blueberries. All of this, plus a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option, cost only 3,480 yen including tax, making it a great deal. The portions were generous, the flavors were all delicious, and the cost performance was excellent!

3500 yen all-you-can-drink course. Used for a drinking party on the 2nd floor, where there were private rooms with round tables. It was crowded and fully booked. In terms of cost performance, it was average. I wish there was a bit more food. The yakitori and tempura were especially delicious. It might be enough for women, but men might find it lacking. If you want to eat a lot, ordering individual dishes might be better than the course!

The grilled chicken and chicken tempura at Torikyo Shinjuku Main Store were delicious! The restaurant was bustling with many customers.

The drinks are all-you-can-drink, while the food menu is a la carte. I ordered the exquisite half-cooked egg menchi katsu, fried eggplant with grated ginger, deep-fried chicken, and a variety of skewers including liver, negima (chicken and green onion skewers), nankotsu (cartilage), mushroom tsukune, and quail egg. The meticulous preparation of the dishes and the beautiful presentation were impressive. The skewers were delicious, especially the liver which was juicy and flavorful without any unpleasant aftertaste. The mushroom tsukune was also a standout with its rich flavor and perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. The egg menchi katsu was a delightful mix of textures and flavors, while the fried eggplant was soaked in a delicious broth. The deep-fried chicken was both tasty and filling. The prices were surprisingly affordable, with options for all-you-can-drink starting at 980 yen for 2 hours. Overall, it was a great dining experience at a cozy izakaya in Akasaka. Highly recommended for those looking for quality food and drinks at a reasonable price.

This izakaya is conveniently located in the heart of Kabukicho, so access is easy. The interior is noisy and crowded, making it difficult to enjoy a quiet conversation, but you can enjoy the lively atmosphere. The seats are a bit cramped and the toilets are dirty, so there is room for improvement, but the food is decently tasty, especially considering the low prices. However, the beer was a bit disappointing. The attitude of the staff was not very good, which is unfortunate, but if you think of it as service that matches the price, it's not a problem. Overall, it gives the impression of being a casual and budget-friendly izakaya where you can enjoy eating and drinking. If the noise level and cleanliness of the toilets were improved, it might attract more customers.

Shinjuku Kabukicho is really scary, so I never approach it, but when walking around, all the shops are closed and there are few people, so it's safer to walk than at night. In the deserted area, there is a bar that operates like an oasis. This shop opens at 15:30, which is convenient when you feel like having a drink during the day! And the draft beer is only 280 yen all day long - amazing! Being the first customer to arrive, I could relax by myself... ▼ Myoga and sesame oil salad for 650 yen. This... I couldn't stop eating with chopsticks. The crunchy myoga is delicious, but what I thought was diagonally cut green onions turned out to be cucumber. They peel the cucumber like a katsura and cut it diagonally... Do you understand? This way of eating cucumber was new to me and quite moving. Simple and deeply delicious. ▼ Fresh tuna sashimi for 690 yen. It's lean, but since it's fresh tuna, it doesn't have that refrigerator taste. Frozen tuna becomes inedible, right? ▼ Liver. I feel like this is the most recommended item at this shop. It's big and so tender that it disappears in an instant. I was thinking of getting tempura or fried chicken, but the salad was quite filling and I ended up getting full. You can watch TV here, and I think it's a hidden gem. By the time I left the shop, Kabukicho was bustling. Thank you for the meal.

I had a Mob-like perception of this place, with many similar shops lined up, but I decided to stop by. The result was just average. However, there was nothing bad about it, and it was a place where you could comfortably have a drink alone at the counter. It was interesting to see they served meat-stuffed Shishito peppers instead of bell peppers.

A few minutes' walk from Shinjuku Station, this restaurant is located in Kabukicho, about a 3-minute walk from the station. They open at 12 pm on weekends and holidays, and 3 pm on weekdays, making it a great spot for day drinking. The entire restaurant is smoking-friendly, making it convenient for smokers. Despite its prime location in Shinjuku, they offer a draft beer for only 280 yen per glass, making it a very cost-effective option for drinking parties. Their signature dishes are motsunabe (offal hot pot) and yakitori. They use freshly sourced Miyazaki chicken for their yakitori, skewering each piece with care. In addition to motsunabe, they also offer Mizutaki hot pot using Miyazaki chicken and Chige hot pot using Sasuke pork, showing their commitment to quality ingredients at an affordable price. Their menu also includes fried foods, salads, and other side dishes, making it a great choice for a first stop for day drinking when you're hungry. On the day of the visit, we had the following: - Complimentary appetizer - Draft beer (medium size) 280 yen - Menchi katsu (breaded and fried ground meat cutlet) 580 yen Skewers: - Liver 210 yen - Skin 190 yen - Bonjiri (chicken tail) 190 yen - Heart 190 yen - Gizzard 190 yen

On this day, we went drinking in Shinjuku! We visited a place near Seibu Shinjuku Station that is open from 3pm on weekdays. I found out after entering that this place offers beer for around 280 or 290 yen, under 300 yen including tax, which was a pleasant surprise. Here's what we had: - Liver sashimi, which was actually low-temperature cooked. When eaten with salted sesame oil, it tasted like liver sashimi. - Baked potato cheese, a coarse mashed potato cheese served hot on a hot plate, with the cheese stretching as you lift it with a spoon. - Bonjiri yakitori, with a crispy exterior and juicy interior, very delicious. - Cheese fry, not the usual triangular fried cheese, but a type with cheese wrapped in wonton skin, served with berry jam. - Soft-boiled egg menchi-katsu, a menchi-katsu where the main highlight is the soft-boiled egg with a runny yolk. - Fried rice to finish off the meal. The restaurant seemed small, but the second-floor seating with a restroom was spacious. According to Tabelog, there are private rooms available, making it suitable for a discreet visit. Thank you for the meal!

As an adult, solo activities are fun. Recently, even young people are doing it casually. I was the first customer at Torikyo, a charcoal-grilled chicken specialty restaurant in Kabukicho, and asked the recommended dish from the staff. They suggested the liver, which is fresh because it's prepared in the morning. The happy hour price for draft beer all day long is great. The appetizer of gizzard is a nice touch for a chicken specialty restaurant. I love snacking on stingray fin while waiting for the grilled chicken. Grilled vegetable skewers are a must, especially my favorite cherry tomatoes and zucchini. The light saltiness and sweetness from grilling are delicious. Be careful not to burn your mouth with the cherry tomatoes! The tomato and avocado salad is simply seasoned, meant to be eaten with a spoon. Chicken tenderloin with spicy cod roe, chicken neck, and liver are all delicious. The liver, the top-selling item, is incredibly tasty. The chicken neck is lightly salted, allowing you to savor the natural flavor of the chicken. The mild chicken tenderloin pairs well with the salty cod roe. Open from 3 pm on weekdays and from 12 pm on weekends and holidays. Torikyo Shinjuku Main Store, a restaurant specializing in grilled chicken skewers and motsunabe. Phone: 050-5595-4428 Address: 1-22-1 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Torikyo Building 1-5F.

I had an early dinner at Torikyo in Shinjuku, a yakitori and motsunabe izakaya. It seems to be pronounced as Torikyo. The restaurant is close to the entrance of Kabukicho and has a beautiful interior. I sat at the counter seat. They have a variety of dishes that go well with alcohol, making it hard to choose. I started with a refreshing Grapefruit Sour, perfect for the first drink. The Long Potato and Avocado Salad was crunchy and stylish, a nice vegetable dish to have with alcohol. I ordered the Special Chicken Thigh with sauce, made from the freshly sourced beautiful chicken. It was so fragrant and the thick, fluffy yakitori was delicious. I also ordered the Chicken Wings with sauce, which were large and well-cooked, with a crispy exterior and juicy inside. It was a delightful dining experience, and I found the atmosphere cozy and inviting. I ended up drinking more than I planned because it was so comfortable.

Met up with friends for a daytime drink and caught sight of a sign on the door saying open from 3:00 pm, but decided to try our luck and walked in - and it was okay! The first floor of the restaurant had table seating and a counter, with a good amount of space between tables. We wanted to catch up on things, so I asked if they offered a course menu on the spot, and they said yes! (They mentioned that it may not be available during busy times or days, so it's worth asking depending on the situation!) I was grateful they accepted our request on such short notice! The course included: - Cucumber with salted kelp - Homemade quail eggs - Chicken breast Caesar salad - Fresh fish carpaccio - Assorted grilled skewers (tomato, quail egg, skin, heart, chicken wings) - Wagyu tripe teppanyaki - Beautiful cherry chicken tempura assortment (beautiful cherry chicken, tomato, bell pepper, sweet potato) - Udon noodles - Seasonal berry mousse chocolate cake The skewers were all hits even though they were chef's choice! The tempura was crispy and surprisingly sweet, while the chicken was tender and delicious. The udon noodles at the end were a refreshing finish to the meal, especially on a hot day. The dishes had a spicy kick that went well with the drinks, and the staff were attentive, regularly bringing small plates and ensuring our comfort. By 2:00 pm, the restaurant was fully booked with solo diners at the counter, other groups of friends, and couples, creating a cozy atmosphere. Although we didn't drink as much as usual, having the option for all-you-can-drink was reassuring. We had great conversations and left fully satisfied. There are many chicken restaurants in this area, but this one is undoubtedly delicious and offers great value for money. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

It's about a 3-minute walk from Seibu Shinjuku Station? I visited around 13:00! (Although the door of the shop said 15:00~, I think it's open from 13:00~) The restroom seemed to be only on the second floor, which was a bit inconvenient, but the shop had cute wooden chairs and tables. Even though we didn't have a reservation that day, they served us a course with all-you-can-drink! - Fresh fish carpaccio: The fish of the day was octopus and salmon. It was just the right amount of sourness, making it a perfect refreshing appetizer for the hot season. - Chicken tender Caesar salad: A Caesar salad with chicken tender and boiled egg, very satisfying and maybe a bit too big to share between two people. - Assorted skewers (tomato, quail, chicken skin, heart, chicken wings): All of them were delicious! Try sprinkling the shichimi spice on them, it's also tasty. - Homemade quail eggs - Cucumber tataki (?): This was incredibly delicious! A perfect dish for drinking, you can easily finish it all by yourself. - Wagyu beef tripe teppanyaki: Spicy and delicious, especially recommended for those who like spicy food! There was no unpleasant smell from the tripe. - Tempura assortment: Sweet potato, chicken, green pepper, tomato. The chicken tempura is highly recommended! It was light and fluffy, and the matcha salt that came with it was perfect. - Course udon: A refreshing dish for summer! Cold udon as a finishing touch is rare, with plenty of myoga (Japanese ginger). It's smooth and goes down easily even when you're full. - Strawberry and mousse ice cream: Good balance of acidity and sweetness. A cute ice cream dessert. - All-you-can-drink menu: No additional charge for beer, which made me happy. I ordered beer, apple sour, and lemon sour, all of which were delicious! Overall, everything that came out was delicious. The satisfaction exceeded the price. It's a great place for lunch drinking or a hearty night out (with a wide menu selection). The table seats were already full before 15:00, so it's recommended to make a reservation for dinner or arrive early. However, there were a few seats available at the counter, so it's also recommended for solo lunch dining! The fried rice, yakisoba, and rice dishes looked delicious too. I want to go back again! Thank you for the meal!

This izakaya is located in Kabukicho, not too far from the station, so it is easily accessible. The interior of the restaurant is clean, perhaps because it is either newly opened or not been open for long. While chicken dishes are the main focus, the menu is extensive and includes some slightly more sophisticated dishes than your typical casual izakaya. They use only the high-quality Miojo chicken sourced daily, offering not just yakitori but a variety of chicken dishes. The yakitori menu includes popular items like liver, negima, and tsukune, which can be ordered individually, offering a substantial amount per skewer. The liver is smooth and melts in your mouth, with a perfect balance of sweet and spicy sauce. The negima skewers are salty with a crispy exterior and juicy interior, while the tsukune has a nice glaze and pairs well with the accompanying quail egg yolk. The homemade quail eggs are flavorful and make for a great snack or drinking accompaniment. The fresh tuna sashimi was satisfying with a nice toro-like texture. The tomato avocado salad is refreshing with generous portions of tomato, avocado, cucumber, and onion marinated for a light and pleasant taste. The restaurant opens early, making it convenient, and it is a rare izakaya where smoking is allowed at the table, but the ventilation is good, so there were no unpleasant odors.

I was walking from Seibu Shinjuku Station towards the center of Kabukicho when I came across this place. It was still early (3:30 pm) but they were open and I couldn't resist going in because the draft beer was only 280 yen (laughs). The first floor was filled with men drinking alone, including myself. It seemed like a large establishment with five floors. The atmosphere changed when I went up to the second floor, and it looked suitable for parties. The three types of appetizers were a nice touch. The fluffy and creamy iron plate egg omelet for 550 yen was really delicious. It was surprisingly hot even after some time. I also ordered a skewer set of domestic Miosakura chicken, which was decent. The salted chicken wings were particularly tasty. The salad with myoga and sesame oil was a good palate cleanser. I was looking forward to the tsukune (chicken meatballs), and they were delicious, especially when dipped in egg yolk. I spent about an hour there and enjoyed my time. It's a convenient place in Kabukicho for a casual meal and drink in the evening, especially for beer lovers.

Uron High (380), Nagoya Cochin Foie Gras Sashimi (780), Mioji Chicken Skin (190), Vegetable Tempura (660), Jidori Chicken Karaage (550), Mioji Chicken Wing Tips (290), Mioji Chicken Tail (190), Mioji Chicken Neck Meat (210). The appetizer includes grated daikon radish with spicy liver, pickled turnips in sweet vinegar, and three types of dishes, making it colorful and delightful. They open early on weekdays from 3 pm and weekends from 12 pm, which is great for early drinking. Moreover, they operate continuously throughout the day! Additionally, this restaurant uses Mioji chicken, and the prices are much more reasonable compared to other restaurants that serve Mioji chicken. It's surprising! Nagoya Cochin Foie Gras Sashimi is delicious! A must-order item! It tastes just like foie gras, rich and smooth. Chicken wing tips are large and flavorful, showcasing the unique taste of Mioji chicken. The karaage (fried chicken) made from local chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The vegetable tempura assortment includes shishito peppers, mini tomatoes, shiso leaves, sweet potatoes, and eringi mushrooms, all served generously. The price is surprisingly affordable, even including matcha salt on the side. The service is friendly and attentive, leaving a good impression. I discovered a delightful restaurant where you can easily enjoy Mioji chicken dishes.

I had some business at the government office nearby, so I decided to stop by this place with a friend. Since my friend smokes, we chose a place where smoking is allowed. I saw this place on Instagram and decided to give it a try. The customer base on Instagram and on food review websites like Tabelog seems to be different, probably. A cold beer after a day's work really hits the spot. They have a good selection of sake, including Dassai. The appetizers included three small dishes. The fresh oysters from Hyogo were delicious, with a nice touch of green onions. The homemade boiled dumplings were hot and filled with soup. They were chewy and probably took the longest to prepare. The deep-fried taro was flavorful with a rich broth and a sweet center. I personally really liked it. The skewers of liver, pork belly, chicken tail, special chicken thigh, and special beef intestines were all tasty and didn't have any unpleasant smell. The beef intestines were interesting, crunchy on the outside but fatty and juicy inside. The fried rice was good, although I was torn between ordering that or the chicken and egg bowl. The quail eggs were a fun snack. I usually don't eat quail eggs, but these were enjoyable. The service was good, and the cute waitress made our experience pleasant. The dishes came out promptly, which was appreciated. Overall, it's a good place for casual izakaya dining.

My daughter is about to graduate in March, so I decided to buy her a celebration gift and we went to Shinjuku together. After finishing shopping, we decided to have a lunch that turned into a drinking time. As we were looking for a place in Kabukicho, I remembered a bar that I had visited before. I remembered that the chicken dishes were delicious, so we decided to revisit the place. At Torikyo Shinjuku Main Store, we were greeted with a lively atmosphere and plenty of customers even though it was a Sunday afternoon, typical of Kabukicho. Cheers! Congratulations on your graduation from graduate school, you did well on your master's thesis. I chose the grilled chicken, while my daughter picked a side dish. - Appetizers: Seaweed, shredded chicken, grated yam - Grilled skewers: Chicken thigh, green onion, chicken tenderloin with spicy cod roe, chicken tenderloin with wasabi, chicken tenderloin with plum and shiso, chicken meatball, tomato, shishito pepper - Fried tofu with broth-soaked soft tofu served with grated radish and ginger - Myoga and sesame oil salad: Crispy vegetables with a nutty sesame oil flavor and a hint of myoga - Fluffy and creamy grilled egg on a hot plate with a rich dashi flavor - Grilled chicken tenderloin and garlic sprout stir-fry on a hot plate - Tuna and avocado salad: Perfect combination of tuna and avocado with a delightful texture After indulging in the all-you-can-drink option, my daughter really showed her drinking skills today. Let's go to the next place while we're in a tipsy mood! [For more details, check out the blog for a more immersive experience] [Link to blog: http://waraibuta2.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-4218.html]

After finishing work early on the weekend, I stopped by a bar alone for a pre-drink before meeting up with friends. This bar in Kabukicho didn't give off a sketchy vibe like some others in the area. In hindsight, I was pretty impressed with my choice of venue. I ordered five skewers of the popular item, along with some rolled omelette and garlic fried. Even though I had plans afterwards, I ended up eating quite a bit, especially the garlic! The liver skewers were thick and had a nice chewy texture with a thick sauce. The "negima" skewers had onion instead of green onion, which added a nice sweetness. The tsukune skewers were of course a hit. But the highlight was the piping hot rolled omelette. It was fluffy with a rich dashi flavor, absolutely delicious. I had already decided to order it as soon as I saw it on the menu. They also had fresh oysters available and a wide variety of options with great value for money. The spacious seating was also a plus, making it very convenient.
