Late night in Tokyo

9 places for Late night in Tokyo, picked by creators — with what they said.

• Miyazaki Shōten Annex — Japan by Food
  Famous for yakitori, but he said the fried chicken omurice served as a closer is also a signature dish, with the sweet-tangy ketchup making the perfect end to a night of drinking. He raved that the sasami with wasabi was 'tear-jerkingly good.'
  Heads up: The popular chicken breast sasami sells out fast, so you need to arrive before 5-6pm to order it. Orders are placed via QR code, and an English menu is available.
• 丸鶏 るいすけ — 픽필름 pickfilm
  Said the chicken esophagus looks like tripe but is incredibly chewy and light, a must-try, and the signature charcoal-grilled whole chicken is great dipped in olive oil and shichimi.
  Heads up: Seating is limited, so by late hours only one seat might remain.
• Iroriya Higashiginzaten — Jack's Dining Room
  Raved that they pile on so much salmon roe it overflows the bowl and needs a plate underneath, and that the vibe of drinking beer while eating charcoal-grilled skewers felt like a "Japanese Oktoberfest."
  Heads up: Said the lively atmosphere of drinking beer and getting rowdy might not suit those looking for a quiet meal.
• 다루마 — 추성훈 ChooSungHoon
  Praised the overwhelming value of the massive 1.8L highball and the delicious Fukuoka-style soy sauce motsunabe and seasonal yellowtail sashimi.
  Heads up: When the restaurant is full, seating time is limited to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
• 博多麺房赤のれん 西麻布本店 — 추성훈 ChooSungHoon
  Praised the deep pork broth and the thin but distinctly rich chashu, and especially raved about the 500 yen boiled dumplings, saying the juicy filling was so good they could eat five plates.
  Heads up: Closed on Sundays (they went the day before and couldn't get in because it was closed), and the small shop seats only about 20 people with bottled beer only, no draft.
• 恵比寿横丁 — 추성훈 ChooSungHoon
  Raved that small, affordable izakayas are all packed into one building, and loved the vibe where you naturally end up sharing tables and chatting with the people next to you.
  Heads up: Said Sundays are quiet, while Friday and Saturday nights—especially around 9pm on Thursdays—are the busiest.
• 焼肉つじむら 新宿本店 — 픽필름 pickfilm
  Said the beef tongue was unbelievably chewy yet tender with perfectly balanced seasoning, and the course offered great variety and generous portions.
  Heads up: Last order is at 9:30pm and prices aren't cheap (about 10,000 yen per person).
• 炭火焼鳥居酒屋 火乃酉（ひのとり） 新杉田本店 — 픽필름 pickfilm
  Said the prices were reasonable, the atmosphere was nice, and the owner was friendly, especially recommending adding cartilage for its great texture.
  Heads up: Seating is limited so walk-ins require luck, and ordering is done via QR code.
• 에비스노 야스베 — 픽필름 pickfilm
  Said the yakigyoza-style dumplings had an incredibly crispy texture, and with such a wide variety of side dishes, it's a great spot for a second round of drinks.
  Heads up: Said there was a 90-minute wait on Friday night, and felt it wasn't quite worth that long a wait.
