This Michelin-starred restaurant offers some of the best sukiyaki and shabu-shabu courses in the city, and possibly even in the country. The Ginza area is a generally high-end shopping district, but the shabu-shabu here is affordable and the beef is savory and delicious. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the pot is cooked over charcoal instead of gas. The four lamb dishes available under the all-you-can-eat option are lamb thigh meat, lamb arm, frankfurters made from minced lamb and winter-limited lamb hotpot. The lamb meat is grilled over charcoal in a clay tandoor oven till they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

And somehow, despite being stuffed to the gills (fish pun, anyone?) with Niboshi ramen, we couldn’t stop sipping and dipping. An irresistible combination of clean, crisp, creamy lager and snappy, crispy, salty snacks. A common practice in Japan, almost every bar we drank at offered us a selection of snacks to nibble on while we drank.

We swaggered down a couple steps and not fifteen minutes later dipped into the underground counter spot.

This is an alley lined with tiny yakitori counters and cheap izakaya that looks straight out of the 1950s. To the west of Shinjuku Station is Nishi-Shinjuku (literally “West Shinjuku”).

We were taken away the minute we walked in and saw Showa era posters, lanterns, and different Japanese flags all over.
As for the garlic nan, which is usually our favorite part, was hard to chew and not the naan we are used to eat at all. I think they have the best butter chicken curry in tokyo. The staffs were generous with the portions and they sounded pretty friendly.
