Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Second Generation Nanako

I was first brought there for a dinner with my Japanese partner and colleagues and didn’t manage to write a review then. I always remember this small restaurant but didn’t know the name nor the precise location. My colleague brought me there again this time during lunch and I wasn’t going to make the same mistake again! They serve sets during lunch and dinner although the main attraction is the centrally placed fire pit where they barbecue fish using Japanese charcoal. The fish served is really freshed and very little (if any) seasoning is used. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back here again!

Highly recommend this izakaya restaurant. More expensive than the average, but ingredients are very fresh. Serves only seasonal food and menu changes daily. Staff speaks English. No English menu, but chef brought out the fresh ingredients for selection.

Great atmosphere and good fish. It is grilled in front of you and taste delicious! A great discovery and not too expensive for central Tokyo. The menu is only in English but the staff is there to help. Highly recommended!
