Japan Travelogue Series: Sanagi Shinjuku

Traditional Japanese cuisine is a combination of staple foods available in the region. It usually consists of white rice with one or more side dishes and main dishes, sometimes served with miso soup and pickles. Japanese food has had strong influences from Korea and China for thousands of years. It was only in the last few hundred years that foreign trade and religion made any impact on traditional Japanese fare and influenced it to what we now know it to be.

Sanagi Shinjuku is one such restaurant offering a fusion of Western, other Asian, and traditional Japanese fare on its menu. The kitchen is divided into four with each part specializing in different foods. One side of the kitchen focuses in gai yaang, grilled chicken with Thai spices, the other parts of the kitchen in, dim sum and noodles, oden and sushi rolls, and finally a section dedicated to fries, nachos and salads and the like.

Sanagi Shinjuku is an unusual restaurant located right under the Koshu Kaido overpass, a short walk from JR Shinjuku Station’s South Exit. It’s hard to miss with its colorful décor and outdoor seating, with some tables on tatami. A great way to get some good food in a one-of-a-kind place in the heart of the Tokyo.
