Tokyo’s no-frills gourmet alley where regional dishes and local sake are served in lantern-lit spaces beneath the Yamanote Line.
MK Guide Recommends
Yurakucho Sanchoku Inshokugai brings Japan’s regional flavors straight to the capital—literally. “Sanchoku” means “direct from the source,” and each stall in this casual food alley specializes in ingredients and recipes from a different prefecture, whether it’s grilled oysters from Hiroshima, horse sashimi from Kumamoto, or sake from Akita. Located beneath the train tracks in Yurakucho, the setting is as old-school as it gets: wooden counters, plastic curtains, and red lanterns lighting up a maze of standing bars and compact izakayas. It’s a favorite for salarymen, off-duty chefs, and curious travelers seeking flavor over flash. Come hungry—and don’t skip the sake pairings.
