🍜 EAT

Also known as Tokyo Koreatown

Tokyo's Korea Town — 600+ Korean restaurants, bars, and shops packed into a few blocks just north of Shinjuku. K-pop merchandise, Korean cosmetics, and the fried chicken. The cheese-covered Korean fried chicken is the source's specific call. Weekends are brutal; go weekday.
