Shinsekai, Osaka · 大阪

A 180-metre covered lane running off Shinsekai, lined with skewer-fry counters, standing bars and old men playing shogi behind glass.

Why it’s worth it

This is the unreconstructed version of Shinsekai. One rule at every counter: never double-dip a skewer in the communal sauce.
