Fantastic Yakitori Omakase. The Shira Tamago was mind-blowing. They stuffed the Uzura (Quail Egg) with Shirako. Great selection of sake available including my favorite 九平次 Kuheiji & 新政 Aramasa. Intimated 9 people counter seating. Omakase course 11,900 yen per person. Reservation required.

Reservations recommended, but we were able to reserve on the same day with 30 min wait. Limited time pop-up 11/17/2023 - 1/21/2024. [developing story]

富士そば Fujisoba@West Shinjuku Tokyo ★

Soba & Udon Fast Food Chain. Love their Tororo Soba with a side of Onsen Tamago. Amazing. Didn't like their Hot Soba or Katsudon. Knowing how to read Japanese is a huge plus. Took us 15 minutes to figure out how to use the machine. Figured out that we had to insert money before selecting the dishes (and not the other way around). The machine doesn't accept 5 yen and was very picky about the coins. After you order, tell them if you want it cold or hot. Additional tempura sides can be ordered in person and paid with cash inside. The lady working there wasn't very patient with us.
