About

Opened in 2008 in a converted shopping arcade, Ebisu Yokocho packs some 20 eateries into one covered corridor: oysters, yakitori, oden, sashimi, horse meat, teppanyaki, nabe and natural wine, with stools spilling into the walkway. It is a modern take on the yokocho and draws a young after-work crowd who hop between stalls and share tables. It is lively and packed on Friday nights, and many stalls keep going until the small hours. Each shop has its own menu and bill.

Highlights

About 20 stalls under one roof, from oysters to grilled seafood and offal
Communal, shoulder-to-shoulder seating that makes it easy to meet locals
Retro decor, hand-painted signs and Showa-style lights
Open late, often until 2–5am at some stalls

Tips

Arrive before 18:30 on weekdays or expect to queue; Fridays are mobbed
Each stall bills separately and many have a seat charge
Bring cash; card acceptance varies by stall
Great first stop before Ebisu's cocktail bars
