Shinjuku is a very lively place located in the heart of Tokyo. It is one of the main sightseeing hotspots offering the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, or the more lively nightlight spots like Kabukicho and Shinjuku Golden Gai. Not only that though, Shinjuku is a big shopping paradise but also has all types of food and entertainment attracting everybody and anybody.
If you talk to a Japanese person, they will tell you that Kabukicho is not a very safe place to be due to the yakuza that hang out in the area, however, thousands of Japanese and foreigners go there daily and have no problem. Many of the places in Kabukicho are protected by the yakuza from Japanese police and other businesses, but that has nothing to do with the guests in general.
The bright area of Kabukicho, aka Tokyo's red-light district, consists of many restaurants, host and hostess clubs, love hotels, and more. Its atmosphere is completely different from night and day. During the day, the district is very quiet and calm, most people are to themselves and cleaning the streets or stalking their restaurants with food and drinks. But when the sun goes down the city lights go up, and Kabukicho really comes alive.
Since Shinjuku/Kabukicho is such a high nightlife/entertainment center, JAPANKURU would like to introduce two newly opened restaurants that opened right by the Kabukicho Godzilla. What's cool is they are in the same building so you can either choose to eat at one place or do the typical Japanese way of dining and going to one as an afterparty ("nijikai" 二次会).
As mentioned above, this new tall building located next to the VR ZONE building has all sorts of stores and restaurants to check out. What are two that you can't miss out on? A stylish yakiniku restaurant that serves only the best and juiciest Japanese wagyu beef, Yakiniku X Gyu (焼肉 X 牛). And to switch things up a restaurant that goes with the vibe of a cool Showa retro Japanese food street that serves all sorts of yummy Japanese izakaya food, Shinjuku Sanchoku Yokocho (新宿産直横丁).

焼肉 X 牛
9th Floor
There are three types of courses recommended by the restaurant; 6000yen, 8,000yen, and 10,000yen.
The variety of meat is not the same, but all the packages come with unlimited alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks (nomihodai, 飲み放題) for two hours.
There are a variety of yakiniku places in Shinjuku, but if you are looking for a more calm place that doesn't choke you with smoke and serves top grade Japanese beef at a good price, then we recommend eating at Yakiniku X Gyu.

1. 🐠 Ogami Suisan (大神水産) – Serves the freshest seafood! Live seafood is also available on site!
2. 🐔 Shoubei (笑兵衛) – Provides a variety of yakitori (chicken skewers) using the freshest chicken carefully selected every morning.
3. 🍳 Mitsue-chan (みつえちゃん) – You can make Osaka and Hiroshima style okonomiyaki and compare it to Tokyo's monjayaki.
4. 🍖 Jyutetsu (じゅう鉄) – Serves all sorts of meat, pork, chicken, beef, etc. being cooking on an iron plate (teppanyaki).
If you are in more of a fish mood but your group is more in grilled food mood, then eating here is a great way to order what you want while enjoying a new scene that is different from other Japanese izakayas. All you have to do is grab what you want to eat and find a place to sit!
If you decide to come during the middle of the day, lunch sets are also available!
There are a wide variety of menus here and the prices are just as nice! It allows you to taste these Japanese specialties at a low price pretty much any time of the day (business hours are 11 am to 4 am the next day)! For many of you who are staying in Shinjuku, missed the last train, or just looking to hang out and eat and drink all night, this is the place for you.
