Banshaku-ya
Banshaku-ya is an izakaya-style restaurant located in a lively food stall area under train tracks in Shinjuku. It offers a variety of grilled vegetable skewers and some vegan-labeled items, but vegan options are limited and inconsistently managed. The venue is casual with outdoor seating available, though smoking is permitted indoors, which may affect comfort for some guests.
