Tokuichi

Specializing in the Kyoto style of oden, with a lighter and clearer broth, this Shinjuku izakaya has become a favorite among the stew fans of downtown Tokyo. Just take a short walk from the west exit of the labyrinthian Shinjuku Station to find out why. You can choose from set-course meals, or a la carte ordering from a range of dozens of different umami-packed ingredients — all of them cooked for long spans of time in the delicious broth.In true izakaya fashion, they also offer a range of delicious chicken dishes too, and an excellent range of sake. Oden is traditionally a winter dish, eaten to warm the bones on long cold nights. However, Tokuichi also serves cold oden in summer! This turns Japan’s delicious stew dish into a cooling and refreshing summer treat. So no matter the weather, Tokuichi has a rich, delicious pot of soul-food stew ready for you.
