Omoide Yokochō (Memory Lane)
Tokyo, Japan
About Omoide Yokochō (Memory Lane)
Omoide Yokochō — Memory Lane — is a narrow alley of tiny smoke-filled yakitori stalls under the Shinjuku railway arches that has been feeding Tokyo sports fans since the postwar era, where charcoal-grilled chicken skewers, cold Sapporo lager, and the shoulder-to-shoulder intimacy of eight-seat stall counters create one of the world's great post-match eating experiences. The alley's survival as an untouched pocket of old Tokyo amid the surrounding skyscrapers gives it a powerful atmosphere of time compression. Going here after a Jingu baseball game or a Japan national team match at the National Stadium is a Tokyo sports travel non-negotiable.
Located in Tokyo.
