"Tokyu Kabukicho Tower", a new landmark in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Here are all its best restaurants and food menus!

If you are a foodie who wants to cover traditional culture and gourmet food during your trip to Tokyo, the first place you should head to is "Shinjuku Kabuki Hall - Kabuki-Yokocho", an entertainment food hall on the 2nd floor boasting about 1,000 square meters.

From Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu and Okinawa in the south, a total of 10 stores offer local cuisine and soul food from all over Japan and Korea. In addition to serving up Japanese and Korean food in Shinjuku, these stores also give you a glimpse of each region's unique culture under the theme of each area's festivals.

On the stage in the center, events are irregularly held by artists and comedians. At weekends, festivals and sword fights are performed and bands play. The entertainment shows that use large LED screens and the latest lighting are a sight to behold.

Donburi (rice bowl), sushi, ramen, udon...all the must-eat gourmet foods from each prefecture are available. No matter how many stomachs you have, they won't be enough to try everything in one trip!

Another appeal for Japanese food aficionados is that you can savour and compare snacks all at once. We editors have a hunch that the drinking is going to keep going smoothly with all these snacks around.

Also a must-see are the different concepts for each store. For example, amazing Nebuta are displayed at the "Tohoku Shokusai" (東北食祭) themed on the Tohoku region.
On the other hand, at the "Kyushu Okinawa Shokusai" (九州沖縄食祭), lanterns are lined up that are reminiscent of the Hakata Gion Yamakasa in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture.

"Shinjuku Kabuki Hall - Kabuki-Yokocho" will make you feel like you've traveled around Japan just by strolling around. Since some stores stay open until 5:00 in the morning, it would be nice to use it as a "late-night dining room" when staying around Shinjuku Station.

Good news for meat lovers! A new business format from the “Heijoen” (平城苑) brand, which operates “All-you-can-eat wagyu beef hall, Nikuya Yokocho” is new in town! When you hear about a restaurant run by a professional who specializes in wagyu beef, there is no longer a need for explanation about the high quality of the food.

At "BEEF DINING Wagyu Tokku - Tokyu Kabukicho Tower store", you can enjoy sirloin steak, hamburgers, roast beef, etc. all using A5 rank Japanese black beef. With a line-up for wagyu lovers, there is a wide variety of menus that can be enjoyed by those who think that yakiniku is a little heavy of a meal. You can enjoy a feast full of wagyu beef, and this is the place to visit on a day when you feel like eating meat!

The last thing we would like to introduce is "Modern Mexican KABUKI BURGER-&-TACOS", which has an impressive appearance that incorporates Kabuki design on its 1F entrance. Then you may be wondering, "Why Mexican food in Japan?" The reason why we want you to dare to try it is in the background of the shop.

eatopia Co., Ltd., which operates the restaurant, has developed "Nakasei" (中勢以), an one-star steakhouse in the Michelin Guide for eight consecutive years. In addition, the collaborating chef Fumio Yonezawa is a winner of the US Embassy “Taste of America” Japan competition, as well as the Gold Egg at Japan’s largest chef competition “RED U-35” in 2015. The biggest attraction is that you can taste wagyu beef hamburgers and tacos that incorporate the world-renowned chef Yonezawa's cooking techniques and seasoning sense.
