しもにや

Shimonya is a small izakaya in Shinjuku Omoide Yokocho, the grilled-meat alley beside the station. It keeps the atmosphere of old Tokyo with counter seating, smoky grills, and sake-fuelled conversation. The menu centres on yakitori and yakiton skewers, fried dishes, and classic izakaya snacks, with options ranging from familiar chicken cuts to more adventurous choices. The compact space rewards those who enjoy an authentic, no-frills night out. Omoide Yokocho gets crowded from early evening, and most stalls stay open late into the night. Arriving before the dinner rush is the best way to secure a counter seat.
