What to know
Robata Yui brings the robatayaki tradition to Nishishinjuku, where diners gather around a lively open kitchen. Here, a chef grills seasonal vegetables and seafood over hot coals. The intimate counter seating encourages interaction, which means you can ask for recommendations based on the day's fresh catches. Grilled shiitake mushrooms and nagaimo (Chinese yam) are popular choices, as is the unique broccoli no shirako (cod milt with broccoli).
