AREA GUIDE UNDER THE TRACKS IN YURAKUCHO Surrounded by the extravagance of areas such as Marunouchi, Ginza, Hibiya and Shimbashi, this old-school neighborhood is something of an island extending in a narrow strip beneath the Yamanote line. But it does have a few modern surprises up its sleeve… Words by Paul McInnes. Photos by Stephan Jarvis GRUB’S UP Yurakucho is a foodie’s paradise. There are plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants catering for those with both tight and expansive budgets. Under the tracks there is the (in)famous Yakitori Alley serving up chicken skewers and watered down beer to locals and tourists alike. You can even indulge in authentic Korean barbeque, cheap ramen from ramshackle huts and pick up some fruit and veg from the wee market stalls that dot the area. The really good stuff in the form of sweaty and gargantuan burgers, however, can be found just outside <strong>Tokyo</strong> International Forum (more on TIF later). American hamburger chain Shake Shack serves up all kinds of juicy goodness, shakes and treats at its newish restaurant. Lines are to be expected but if the thought of hamburger juice running down your chin and arms turns you on then it’s a no-brainer. The slightly more refined diner should head to the legendary Shin Hinomoto (aka Andy’s) izakaya run by an Englishman who prides himself on supplying an authentic Japanese dining experience. Booze, fish and traditional dishes are enjoyed by those in the know and greedy tourists searching for the foodie Promised Land. 8 | JULY 2017 | TOKYO WEEKENDER
