Shinjuku packs more restaurants into a few square kilometers than most cities hold entirely, and this map cuts it to fifteen worth your time. It spans the district's range, from Kabukicho izakaya and Omoide Yokocho counters to quieter Yotsuya sushi, ordered by the consensus of local and international reviews. Everything sits within walking distance of the station's exits.
