Omoide Nukemichi | Shinjuku
思い出の抜け道
While most tourists make their way to nearby Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho to get their instagram-worthy backstreet alley experience, only few know about this another, perhaps much more authentic kind of yokocho, which successfully preserves the gritty backstreet vibe this part of Shinjuku is known for. Make your way down the super narrow alleyways and discover authentic izakayas such as Oyster Bar Fuyajo, or the various little eateries inside red curtain street (which is actually a building) such as Niku Toru (tepanyaki, grilled meat) and Shinkei (yakitori, grilled chicken skewers).
