# Tokyo life after 5 - Foods & Drinks

## Overview

Come along with me to discover the best late-night food and drinking spots in Tokyo! I’ll take you along to some of the most authentic local izakaya (Japanese gastropubs), like tachinomiya (standing bars) or yakitori (chicken skewer) bars in Shinjuku. You’ll visit places that only locals know about and experience Shinjuku nightlife like a local. Outside of the overcrowded and touristy areas of Shinjuku, you can really get to know the local atmosphere of the city and experience Japanese drinking culture for yourself. Prepare yourself for some tasty grilled Japanese dishes, paired with Japanese sake, beer, and other drinks. 
So, what are you waiting for! Let’s go and meet a lot of colorful and exciting people. Let's explore the best places to enjoy your night life in Shinjuku!
