Shibuya Meat-Alley Crawl (45–90 min) — DIY Tasting Across 2 Floors

Quick Overview

Hop between tiny meat-specialty eateries packed into Chitose Kaikan's 2F & 3F in Center-gai. There are ~28 micro-restaurants; grab a seat or stand at 2–3 counters and order a signature bite and a drink at each. Most places are casual, loud, and fun; many have picture/EN menus.

What You'll Do

• Start at the lantern entrance of Chitose Kaikan (Niku Yokocho) and pick your first counter
• Order 1 small plate (yakitori, yakiniku bite, beef sushi, etc.) + 1 drink. Move on
• Repeat at 1–2 more spots; finish with a shared photo under the alley signs
• Tip: many shops post best-sellers up front—point to order if needed

What's Included

• Self-guided route & venue map (digital)
• English order prompts you can print ("1 beer, please / chef's recommendation")
