1. Gyumon

Located in the bustling streets of Shibuya, Gyumon is the perfect place for an authentic yakiniku dinner after a day’s worth of shopping! 🛍 Just choose the cut you prefer and they’ll serve it to you raw and lightly seasoned for you to grill on the charcoal stove. The beef tenderloin, grilled to medium rare is just perfect! 

#HHWT Tip: Try to make a reservation earlier to avoid queuing, as the place is pretty small.

2. Shinjuku Gyoen Ramen Ouka

This unique eatery serves their ramen with a bowl of rice, which you eat with the remaining broth of your ramen. Their set is good for sharing (if you upsize the ramen to large) or for really hungry tummies, as it comes with yakitori and grilled chicken. Their spicy ramen really hits the spot too!

5. Mentei Naritaya Asakusa

Tried the ramen at Naritaya today! Honestly, we prefer the broth at Ayam-ya as it's more flavorful. The chicken karaage was really yummy though! #havehalalwilltravel #hhwt #hhwttravels
