"Yakitori Alley" in Shinjuku. 新宿の焼き鳥

Just a short walk down "Yakitori Alley" in Shinjuku. This place has lots of stalls serving delicious Yakitori grilled over charcoal and ofcourse a cold Kirin or Asahi to wash it all down. Most of the places only seats 4 - 10 people. Though these little places are very simple, they are very clean too, so dont hesitate to try it out if you happen to be in the neighbourhood.

where do they store the food in those tiny stalls????

[thomasgotschalk]

@heckler171 > I dont know for sure, but my guess is, they dont "store" as such, but simply buy fresh meats and vegetables at the markets every morning.

An amazing slice of Shinjuku indeed, so many shops in such a tight space. My stomach is rumbling from watching this, need....yaki...tori....

Great video footage of this little spot! I think it's definite I need to re-visit ^___^

[thomasgotschalk]

@ShiverZ66 > Yeah, I can understand why you want to revisit - I love this place to bits too - a combination of great "authentic" food and atmosphere. I try go there at least 2-3 times every month.

Yes, many various brand name shops from Japan, and several wagashi shops ♥♥ ^^ lol

Half the shops sells food. XD

[thomasgotschalk]

Yeah I guess nothing beats the real thing.

But surely "Little Tokyo" is better than nothing, right? (Are there Japanese shops in "Little Tokyo" as well or restaurants only?)

[YamiTsukiRyu]

I want to go to Japan, the closest thing I have here is Little Tokyo in downtown LA, but I want authentic yakitori. :3
