Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Izakaya Banya Nishishinjuku

Cosy private booths, with reasonable prices and good selection of food and drinks. English menu available. Sashimi was very good value and very fresh. Had a enjoyable meal.

Real dinning experience - not just a meat fest~ First time eating Shabu-shabu and the experience was fantastic! English explanation of how to prepare and eat shabu-shabu are provided and the course menu was very good and a great deal especially for groups. The decoration is quite sober but with that city view, you don’t need much anyways The broth was very rich in flavor and the quality of the beef was outstanding! The course started out with a selection of small plate appetizers with pickles, small fish cake and egg roll, after that they served us a huge plate of sashimi, avocados with beans and crab stick salad - everything fresh and beautiful! By the time the meat course came - with fresh vegetables to go with it - it felt part of a complete gastronomy experience. After the main meal, as a part of the course, we had Saba Mackerel fish with a touch of ginger, Tempura (the best I ever had!), udon noodles as “shime” to round off the night and sorbet as desert! An amazing experience! Recommend for those serious about a full course meal experience!

Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the view of Shinjuku from the 49th floor made the meal even better! Staff was quick to keep our glasses full and all our dishes came out freshly cooked or prepared. The udon brought out after the sukiyaki was my favorite as the broth it was cooked in was so full of flavor from all the meat and vegetables from before. At the end of the meal we were presented with a very special gift by two special guests - it was quite a surprise!
