If you are in Shibuya or Shinsen area on your trip, you might think what to eat.
Here are my recommendations for you where I took my friends from abroad to, and they loved it – Japanese style pub/restaurant, cheap Sushi place (belt Conveyor style), Okonomiyaki, and Ramen restaurant. And those are not difficult place for people who dont speak Japanese.
I choose them by taste, not “photogenic”, so please do not expect instagrammable looking food.
Japanese Cuisine Restaurant in Shibuya
Gyukatsu Motomura – Beef Cutlet
For beef cutlet, I’d recommend this place! You might find

Donabe Gohan Ikushika – Japanese
If you haven’t tried white rice that cooked in a clay pot, this place is for you! I choose “Kakuni” that is pork belly that is simmered with soy sauce, sugar, sake, etc.
They bring a clay pot to your table, so you can have it all.
Other Location 📍Nakameguro
Kaikaya by the Sea – Izakaya & Seafood
Kaikaya by the Sea is a Seafood Izakaya!
It costs a little bit and also you might need to wait to get seated, but definitely highly recommended!
I recommend Fatty meat of Tuna, Sengyo (fresh fish) Carpaccio. In addition, Shimofuri Kobe-gyu Nigiri Zushi (Kobe beef on rice as sushi style) is SO tasty!

Have you heard Okonomiyaki before? It is a Japanese cabbage pancake with special source.
I often go to Okonomiyaki Mura in Shibuya. I like Okonomiyaki with pork, or seafood.
You will have a Teppan (iron plate) in the center of table, and be able to eat a hot one. They have English menu at Okonomiyaki Mura.
Best Sushi Restaurant in Shibuya
Sushi no Midori Shibuya
Genki Sushi – Belt Conveyor Sushi
Genki Sushi is a belt conveyor sushi place. There is a line usually, but it comes around to your turn very quick. All counter seated, so it might not be comfortable to go with big group.
It is super easy for you to order/eat sushi, since they have a touch panel in front of each seat. You can change the language into English, Korean, Chinese(簡体字), and Chinese(繁体字).
You can have Nigiri sushi, rolls, side such as salad, french fries, and dessert too.

Ichiran – Tonkotsu Ramen
Ichiran is one of famous ramen shops in Japan, and my French friends, German friend, American friend, Taiwanese friends loved it!
Kamukura
Kamukura was found by the former French chef, Masato Fuse. It’s difficult to find something similar to explain.. very unique. Only few people know the recipe for their soup.

Tsujita is a Tsukemen restaurant that has multiple locations, even overseas too.
