Working near Shinbashi means I end up eating lunch around here a lot.

Grilled mackerel set meal at Yayoiken

Yayoiken is absurdly cheap and the quality is decent. It goes toe to toe with the gyudon and soba chains, and I have no idea how they pull it off.

Champon at Nagasaki Kaido

The best..

Tai-meshi at Uwajima.

The best, right..

Close-up..

The finest luxury you can get for 1,200 yen.

Age-yakisoba (crispy fried noodles) at Waratoku

Waratoku isn’t in Shinbashi proper; it’s in the Shiba shopping street. Their age-yakisoba is a similar concept to sara-udon, and it’s delicious.

Inside..

Nice.. places with a reputation really do deliver.
