Once upon a time in Shinjuku...
In a dark small alley near the Shinjuku station...
"Go around the backdoor to reach the table in the back", the master said.
Hmm...
Down the rabbit hole...
After opening several wrong backdoors by mistake, we finally found the right one...
The place is so authentic, it will never pass fire department inspection and you'd likely die in case of fire. Girl to the right was so drunk she smacked her head against the bar shortly after:
The only menu in the place. Yakitori is "omasake" (chef's pick of the day) costing 205 to 300 yen each.
Love at first bite. Best yakitori I had in recent years!
Guy in front of the photo ordered raw yakitori
Here's their web site address so you can find them. I tried 3 different places in this alley and liked their food the best. They're even a place that serves horse meat around the corner.
When you're done eating, they serve some veggies boiled in the broth and you can drink the broth as soup
Round 2
Word is that the local government wants to tear down the little alley and replace it with Starbucks to improve the "image" of the city. So if you want to try the food here, go quickly before it gets "modernized" like what they're doing to Tsukiji.
