Shinjuku Naniwa Sakaba in Kabukicho, Shinjuku~. It opens from 3:30 pm on weekdays, so you can start drinking early, which is great~. On weekends, it opens at 2 pm, and the interior of the restaurant is clean and has a sense of cleanliness. The main seating is at tables, but there are also counter seats, so you can easily come alone!! First, I had a refreshing ◆draft beer, ice-cold and delicious~. It quenches my thirst◆Naniwa special Japanese-style Caesar salad, with slices of boiled eggs and a generous amount of dressing that is not too heavy.◆Premium creamy soft-boiled egg, you eat it with ketchup on menchi-katsu, giving it a Western touch. The creamy soft-boiled egg goes well with the ground meat. You can order the special grilled skewers individually, but they come in sets of 2 each◆Special green onion skewer◆Special chicken wing tip The green onion was actually onion, not green onion. I heard that onion absorbs the fat from the chicken meat and tastes delicious. The chicken wings are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside◆Naniwa grilled dumplings (6 pieces) When looking at the menu, it says that the dumplings are handmade and homemade. The shrimp flavor is rich, making these Asian-style dumplings delicious~. The seasoning is well-balanced, so you can eat them without any sauce. I was also tempted by the boiled dumplings, which I'm sure are delicious as well◆Garlic skewer with skin◆Shishito pepper skewer The shishito pepper is grilled to a fragrant simplicity with excellent saltiness, and the garlic skewer, with the skin removed, was fluffy. It looks like it will give you stamina!!! This is my personal recommendation~.◆Assorted 5-piece cutlet skewers (onion, pumpkin, nagaimo yam, quail, beef skewer) The breadcrumbs are slightly coarse, giving a crispy texture, and they were piping hot. The pumpkin was tender and sweet, and the most delicious. I changed to sake and the recommended pairing was◆Fresh bluefin tuna sashimi, fatty and melts like medium fatty tuna~. Real bluefin tuna is different~. This is a must-eat dish. The finale was◆Kyozakura chicken oyakodon It's a lightly seasoned oyakodon with a good dashi flavor. Eating it with the specialty lemon sour from the tavern is the best. If you're unsure about the food, you can't go wrong with the signature dishes of bluefin tuna and Naniwa dumplings. The staff is friendly and the restroom is separate for men and women, creating an atmosphere where even women can feel comfortable. It's located in the bustling area of Kabukicho Ichibangai, but you can drink in a relaxed atmosphere and feel safe~(*^^*)

Located just after passing through the Kabukicho sign, this izakaya offers grilled chicken skewers for 100 yen, and highballs and sours for 280 yen. Until 6 pm, you can also get draft beer for 280 yen, making it a popular spot for daytime drinking. This time, I opted for the all-you-can-drink option. For 1500 yen (excluding tax), you can enjoy all-you-can-drink with draft beer, which seems like a good deal. From the special menu, I selected salted raw liver of Nagoya Cochin, soft-boiled egg menchi katsu, country-style meat tofu, Osaka-style grilled dumplings, and quail eggs. The salted liver had no unpleasant odor and the texture matched well with salt and sesame oil. The soft-boiled egg menchi katsu had a whole egg inside, similar to a scotch egg, making it quite filling. The meat tofu was different from my expectation, more like a Japanese-style mapo tofu cooked in a clay pot, which I enjoyed. The Osaka-style grilled dumplings had wings attached but the skin was chewy and filled with juicy meat, which I also liked. All the dishes were seasoned well to pair with alcohol, so I was able to get my money's worth with the all-you-can-drink option, although I didn't get to try their specialty grilled chicken skewers due to being too full. I'll have to save that for next time. The restaurant is open until 4 am, making it a good option for a second or third stop on a night out.

After an event at Isetan in Shinjuku, my friend and I were looking for a place to have a quick drink and maybe something to eat because it was too hot. We ended up finding a nice little restaurant near the entrance of Kabukicho and decided to give it a try. The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. The stir-fried bean sprouts, leeks, and carrots were fresh and crunchy. We also tried a unique dish - candied amber walnuts from Hong Kong, which were a hit. The special salted liver sashimi was a treat for sashimi lovers like me. The shrimp mayo was drowning in delicious mayonnaise, perfect for mayo lovers. We then ordered some hot and crispy minced meat cutlets, which were nostalgic and tasty. Lastly, we had fried lotus root skewers, which I couldn't resist because I love lotus root. The restaurant was clean, efficient, and located on the 1st floor for easy access. Overall, a great experience.

As soon as you enter Kabukicho, there's a shop where you can enjoy all-you-can-drink without draft beer for 980 yen for 90 minutes. The yakisoba was particularly delicious! It's quite spicy but has a delicious taste that keeps you coming back for more. It's made with instant noodles, but that's what makes the flavor stand out. If you're not a fan of spicy food, you might find it too intense. The interior of the shop is clean and very nice. Thank you for the meal.

It seems like a new store, so my friend brought me here to drink. I was in the mood to drink a lot, so I was happy to come. My friend is from Kyushu, so when we were talking, memories of when I went to Oita alone came back. I want to eat toriten! It's different from fried chicken, I want toriten!! I suddenly have a strong desire to eat toriten!! I want beer! I'm such a simple person! Sorry for being like this. The free Wi-Fi here is so convenient, right? They put effort into chicken, tuna, and even gyoza here, right? Toriten and beer. Haha, even though I had a chiropractic appointment to lie face down that night, I couldn't eat too much, so I just had something light. Light, you know? Haha, the namul as an appetizer is good, right? - Special salted liver: Limited quantity of Nagoya Cochin foie gras! Low-temperature cooking. There's a slight liver taste without any smell. The sesame oil is nice too. - Beef harami: I like the strong salt flavor and the juicy, chewy texture. - Kyoto cherry chicken toriten: There are shishito peppers too. Matcha salt. Crispy! Moist inside! I love the tenderness of this meat. I'm satisfied to have freshly fried toriten thanks to you! I also love fried chicken, but toriten is great too! Oh, I'm so happy to have found freshly fried toriten when I wanted to eat it! It's delicious when you eat what you want. Hooray for toriten! Haha

My son said he got promoted. Oh, that's great news. I had plans to go out with my son, so I'll celebrate on our way back. ■Shinjuku Naniwa Sakaba Just a 2-minute walk from Seibu Shinjuku Station. Located near the neon lights of Kabukicho Ichibangai, often featured in the news, this bar has a new and clean feel to it. Cheers! Congratulations on your promotion! By the way, what's the difference between promotion and advancement? Since it's a celebration, I left all the snacks to my son's liking. ◆Fresh Bluefin Tuna Sashimi My son's favorite, he loves tuna so much that he only needs "tuna and salmon" when we go to a sushi restaurant. The rich flavor of fresh bluefin tuna spreads in the mouth as soon as you taste it. ◆Japanese-style Caesar Salad The flavor of boiled eggs and the richness of cheese are good. This salad seems good for the body, a healthy dish. ◆Special Grilled Skewers Special thigh/ special negima/ special garlic special chicken wings/quail egg skewer/ shishito pepper skewer/cherry tomato skewer The "special garlic" skewer is something I've never tasted before, this flavor is addictive. The mild Niigata seaweed salt is delicious. ◆Special Tsukune The shiny tsukune looks delicious at first sight. Dip the skewer in the egg yolk and taste it... oh, it's soft and juicy. The richness of the chicken is concentrated in the tsukune, spreading out gently. ◆Deep-fried Seseri This is my first time eating deep-fried seseri. It's a long, thin piece of fried chicken, but it's really tasty with a lot of fat. I wonder which part of the chicken seseri is? ◆Naniwa Grilled Dumplings (9 pieces) Hot and with thick skin, satisfying to eat, and it's nice that there are shrimp inside. It's reassuring to have wings attached, even on days when there are a lot of them. ※The "a lot" refers to the number of dumplings (just in case) ◆Satsuma Jidori Oyakodon The gentle aroma of dashi and eggs wafting through. The resilient Satsuma jidori chicken releases its flavor with each chew. ◆Naniwa Spicy Yakisoba Oh, this is spicy! It reminds me of Peyang's super spicy yakisoba. I switch to Hoppy after beer. Finish with sake (Koshino Kagemaru). My son, who was the lowest-ranking in the company, has become a little more important. I'm so happy to hear about his promotion, it feels like it's my own achievement. At this rate, maybe he can become a director? w ★For more details, visit the blog http://waraibuta2.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-4254.html ★I have updated my blog with nostalgic folk toyshttps://folktoys.blog.fc2.com/

The country-style meat tofu had a sweet sauce and a creamy texture that was comforting and warming, perfect for cold days. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was clean and spacious, with friendly staff and a welcoming vibe. It was crowded but easy to get a seat, and many groups of friends were enjoying themselves. Conveniently located in Shinjuku, open until early morning, making it a great spot for a meal anytime. Operating Hours: Weekdays: 3:30 pm - 4:00 am Weekends: 2:00 pm - 4:00 am No regular holidays.

After drinking in Shinjuku Golden Gai, I felt a bit hungry as I had only been drinking alcohol, so I headed to Kabukicho. I found a bright and eye-catching restaurant there and decided to go in. The interior was long and brightly lit towards the back. I ordered a beer for a toast and a highball for drinks. For food, I chose mainly chicken dishes and gyoza, as shown in the image. The taste was decent for an izakaya in Kabukicho. The service was efficient, even though the place was busy and there were some challenging moments. The staff that day were quick on their feet. Overall, it seems like a convenient place for a second round with a larger group of friends. Thank you for the meal.

The restaurant was moderately crowded and clean, so I decided to come here. I had draft beer, highball, and hoppy along with dishes like fried skewers, chicken liver sashimi, and stir-fried hormone. The waiter was a foreign student and provided attentive service. The food was authentic and very delicious. The prices were reasonable, and I thought it was great to have such a restaurant right in the heart of Kabukicho. I would definitely want to visit again when I'm in the area.

This is a street-level restaurant located along Kabukicho 1st Street, just across from Shinjuku Station. They open from 3:30 PM, so you can start drinking early and enjoy a nice atmosphere. The layout is compact at the entrance like an eel's bed, but stretches long towards the back with about 7 counter seats, and 2-seater and 4-seater tables. The food overall gives a high-quality impression. - Beef Harami Skewers: The beef harami here is incredibly tender! - Osaka-style Gyoza (6 pieces): The handmade chewy skin, lots of wings, and just the right amount of Chinese spices make this gyoza a satisfying dish. - Special Salted Liver: A dish of low-temperature cooked Nagoya Cochin liver, eaten with sesame oil and salt, giving a taste similar to raw liver sashimi. - Fresh Tuna Sashimi: Directly delivered from Nagasaki, this fresh tuna sashimi is enjoyed with wasabi soy sauce and then with sesame oil and salt. - Yakitori (Zucchini, Quail, Heart): No frozen products used in this yakitori. I chose my favorite heart part, along with zucchini and quail. Juicy and delicious! - Osaka Izakaya-style Motsuyaki: A dish of chewy motsu, cabbage, and bean sprouts stir-fried on an iron plate, with a strong salty flavor that goes well with alcohol. - Large Oyster Fry: Crispy batter and juicy fried oysters, perfect with sauce or tartar sauce! <Drink> - The Malt's (Draft): Suntory The Malt's draft beer. - The Premium Malt's (Bottle): Choose from Premium, Super Dry, or Black Label. I went with Premium Malt's.

Green tea highball, tuna and avocado tartare, fresh tuna sashimi, Osaka-style grilled dumplings, limited quantity chicken tataki, grated nagaimo with avocado, premium beef misuji skewers, chicken tenderloin karaage, large shrimp with mayo, oyster fry, okra sashimi. They open from 15:30 even on weekdays and operate non-stop until 4 am, which is great! The complimentary dish is bean sprout namul. Smoking is allowed, so smokers are happy. The open entrance prevents smoke from accumulating, which is nice. My husband, a heavy smoker, was delighted to be able to smoke. - Chicken tataki: Fragrant and tender, delicious. - Chicken tenderloin karaage: Rare to find, hot and juicy. - Fresh tuna sashimi: Fresh sashimi that you can't resist, delightful. - Oyster fry: Large, juicy, not small and dry, great! - Okra sashimi: Rare to find, healthy option, husband is happy. - Osaka-style grilled dumplings: Large dumplings with wings, small size but thick and chewy skin, juicy meat bursting out. The service was good, and there is a counter inside, making it comfortable for solo diners. Will definitely visit again.

I went to Naniwa Sakaba this time and had a great experience. The atmosphere was calm and cozy, and the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The menu was diverse, the cost performance was good, and the food was delicious. I definitely want to go back again! It's a great place to use for drinking parties, year-end parties, and New Year's parties. The sashimi and yakitori were delicious!

I went drinking in Shinjuku on this day~♪ I discovered a clean and neat izakaya in Kabukicho, which was quite unexpected. It seemed like a newly opened restaurant in June. We were seated at a table and tried the following dishes: - Homemade amber walnut liquor: I thought it would have a sweet and salty flavor to go with the liquor, but it was actually a sweet walnut coated with honey. It seems to go well with wine or whiskey rather than beer. - Osaka-style grilled dumplings (6 pieces): These round dumplings reminded me of white dumplings. The skin was not as thick as white dumplings, but it was chewy and delicious! The filling was packed and very juicy. It's recommended to eat it in one bite (be prepared for the juicy filling to spill out). - Baked potato cheese: I thought it was a common menu item, but this one was like mashed potatoes! Creamy with a good amount of salt, it's a perfect snack with alcohol. A must-try for potato and cheese lovers. - Beef harami skewer: Tender and delicious♡ - French fries: I was starting to feel full, but these are the kind of snacks you can nibble on (lol). - Onigiri: I wanted to eat rice at the end, so I ordered this. I thought it would be microwaved, but it seems they bake it here! There was a surprise of kombu inside. The pickled red turnip served with it was also surprisingly tasty. There was a sign advertising draft beer and highball for 180 yen, so I thought it was a mysterious cheap izakaya chain with several branches around Shinjuku, but the menu inside was different. The quality of the food here was better. Thank you for the meal!

In anticipation of the 4th state of emergency being declared in Tokyo, I visited this restaurant to have a drink. - Amber Walnuts: A dish coated with sweet walnuts, which might have been better as a dessert rather than a starter. - Osaka-style Grilled Dumplings with Shrimp: Juicy and not too heavy, making it a must-order dish. - Baked Potato with Cheese: Mashed potatoes mixed with cheese and corn, reminiscent of French cuisine. - Grilled Beef Harami Skewers: Well-marinated and perfect for enjoying with beer. - Special Chicken Wing Skewer: Crispy skin and juicy inside, expertly grilled. - French Fries: A simple yet satisfying dish. Overall, I spent about an hour and a half here, enjoying plenty of beer and Hoppy. The newly opened restaurant had a clean and fresh interior. I look forward to trying their specialty water dumplings once the state of emergency is lifted.

The restaurant was beautiful, so I decided to come here after work. Although the entrance was cold, there was a sign at the entrance, so I was guided in. The surrounding shops were playing loud music, so it was not very relaxing. I had a light meal and then moved on.

Smoking is allowed, so sometimes there is smoke inside, but aside from that, this is a good value and honest izakaya. The Satsuma chicken skewers are especially recommended. They are cooked perfectly, with a crispy outer layer and juicy, tender meat. The menu is extensive, and there seems to be many regular customers.

The dumplings are delicious!

I don't remember much, but the drinking party was fun, so I think it was a good bar! 🎉

The cost performance was good! The food was also delicious in a normal way.

It was delicious.
