Tokyo - Omoide Yokocho, Beer and Yakitori

            Also known as Memory Lane or Piss Alley, this cramped space by the train tracks of Shinjuku is filled with closet-sized bars (no Sumo wrestlers here) and restaurants. It used to be a black-market drinking quarter in the 1940's and was called Piss Alley from its lack of toilet facilities which compelled drunk patrons to relieve themselves against the train tracks. The shops here sell mostly skewered meat called yakitori, although you will also find off-the-wall items like pig testicles, grilled salamanders or frog sashimi.
