There are many izakaya around Shinjuku Station, from the Nishi-Shinjuku area, which is close to the office district and has many low-priced restaurants, to the Shinjuku-Sanchome area, which has a wide range of izakaya from popular drinking establishments to stylish izakayas for dates, and so on, and even though they are all located in Shinjuku, the atmosphere is different from one area to another.

Because they are in the middle of the izakaya war zone, each area has many delicious and popular restaurants that are popular with people of all ages, from students to office workers. We've compiled a list of some of our top picks for lunch, dinner, and snacks if you're ever in Tokyo!

01
Bamban

"Banban Shinjuku Honten is a popular restaurant near Shinjuku Station where you can enjoy delicious chicken dishes. You can enjoy Ojusshi eggs raised in the rich nature of the mountains and fed with 100% natural feed, as well as the delicious taste of Shidori chicken, and yakitori (grilled meat skewers) made with delicious pork.

The signature dish is the healthy "Chicken Sukiyaki" (reservation required the day before), which is full of vegetables. Sukiyaki is a typical Japanese nabe dish, usually made with beef, but Banban uses Ojusshi chicken, which is simmered with vegetables and dipped in a beaten raw egg, making it an excellent dish that allows you to feel the freshness of the ingredients. There is also a set menu available for four or more people, and unlimited drinks can be added to the set menu. In addition, you can also enjoy local wines produced in various regions and seasonal dishes.
