5 Recommended Lunch Options for Tokyo Office Workers Around Shinjuku Station 2024

Motomura Fried Steak

Motomura Fried Steak adheres to the belief of making fried steak a part of Japanese food culture. The steak is dipped in breadcrumbs and fried until golden brown. It is served with rock salt or wasabi soy sauce. Although the seasoning is simple, the flavor is unforgettable. The medium rare fried steak can be heated on a stone plate according to personal preference and adjusted to an acceptable degree of doneness. When you bite into it gently, the rich juice of the meat comes out. When paired with warm white rice, you will definitely feel satisfied.

Ramen Hayashida Shinjuku Main Store

Although the Shinjuku branch of Ramen Hayashida near the Shinjuku Isetan department store is a branch restaurant, the soy sauce-flavored ramen made with duck meat and Daiyama chicken in the broth is relatively refreshing compared to ramen based on tonkotsu or miso soup, and the broth is rich in flavor despite the simple toppings.

In addition, the restaurant also offers ramen based on high-quality sea bream and black-necked fish in broth, which is limited in quantity and we recommend queuing early.
