We had friends visiting over the weekend and as we went to Shinjuku, we decided to visit the “omoide yokocho”, the Memory Lane. It’s such an interesting area filled with small shops where one can enjoy fast food such as yakitori (meat skewers), ramen noodles, gyoza dumplings, with a beer. It’s hugely popular with salary men or just friends meeting after work.
The best of it all is the atmosphere of the place; it’s a few narrow streets with kegs of beer stacked in front of the shops, red lanterns hanging everywhere and smoke from the food being grilled
