Hyatt Regency Shinjuku > Yakitori and Beer

Arrived at Shinjuku Station from Yumoti-Hakone at about 7pm. Walked out of the west side of the station to Halc department store, and looked for bus stop 35 where the Hyatt Regency bus makes it stop. Arrived at the Hyatt Regency at about 7:30pm and checked into our King Room. Then off to look for dinner of beer and yakitori.

Took the shuttle bus back to Halc department store at Shinjuku. Came across a billboard advertising Yakitori at the Halc's basement. Since it was getting late and we were starving, we headed down the stairs.

After a few sticks of Yakitori, we spied on something delicious from the next table. It's called Okonomiyaki. We had to have one. It's a savoury pancake made of eggs, noodles, your choice of meat or seafood, and served with stripes of mayo.

We wanted more! More Beer and Yakitori! And so we opened up the Metropolitan free magazine, poured through the restaurant pages and came across an ad for yakitori and free flow drinks. Tucked away in East Shinjuku on the 6th floor or a narrow building, we entered a crowded smoky place. All locals; we were the only foreigners. But that's the fun of discovering new places and enjoying what the locals do. We ordered a variety of yakitori off the menu and was told that we could help ourselves to anything from the drinks counter - beer, juices, fruity flavoured liquor.
