Dai-ichi Horai-ya

Dai-ichi Horai-ya is an izakaya in Omoide Yokocho near the west exit of Shinjuku Station, serving charcoal-grilled skewers and motsuyaki. The menu covers offal and specialty cuts, including wasabi chicken skewers, chicken skin skewers, and pork uterus skewers. The shop opened in 1947 and has seating on the second floor, and skewers can be ordered one at a time. Smoking is permitted inside, which is uncomfortable for anyone sensitive to cigarette smoke.
