Genkai Shokudo

Genkai Shokudo, located in the bustling district of Shinjuku, Tokyo, offers a delightful culinary journey into traditional Japanese chicken dishes. This restaurant is a casual dining extension of the esteemed Mizutaki Genkai, which was founded in 1928 by Hiroo Yano from Amagi, Kyushu. Known for introducing the regional dish 'mizutaki' to Tokyo, Genkai Shokudo continues this legacy with its own unique offerings. The menu at Genkai Shokudo features a variety of chicken-based dishes, including the popular oyako-don, a comforting chicken and egg bowl, and the flavorful mizutaki, a chicken hot pot simmered for 7 to 8 hours to create a rich, white broth. Another highlight is the charcoal-grilled Genkai chicken and egg rice bowl, served with a small hot pot set, showcasing the restaurant's mastery of both traditional and modern cooking techniques. Situated on the first floor of the same building as Mizutaki Genkai, Genkai Shokudo is easily accessible, just a short walk from Shinjuku Gyoenmae and Shinjuku Sanchome stations. The restaurant's interior exudes a refined Japanese aesthetic, with a calm and cozy atmosphere enhanced by subdued lighting. This setting makes it an ideal spot for both intimate dinners and relaxed gatherings. The attentive staff, dressed in traditional kimonos, provide efficient service, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. With a non-smoking policy inside and a designated smoking area available, Genkai Shokudo accommodates a variety of preferences. Reservations are accepted, including online, and the restaurant is equipped to welcome children and wheelchair users, making it a versatile choice for all diners.
