What to know
The signature dish at Shinga is kogashi shoyu chahan, or fried rice with burnt soy sauce, which gives the dish a smoky aroma and deep umami. This casual spot in Bunkyo City is popular among locals looking for a quick and satisfying meal, which explains the energetic atmosphere. Because the restaurant is only open for a few hours during lunch and dinner, expect a line, especially since it's closed on Wednesdays. Hidden away from the main streets, Shinga rewards those who seek it out with a unique take on a Chinese staple.
