As the sun sets behind Mt Fuji, the neon lights of Tokyo flicker to life: izakayas, restaurants and bars fill; beer, umeshu, highballs, chuhai and sake are raised to cheers of ?kanpai!', and the scent and sounds of nightlife fill the air. Tokyo's night scene - outside of the reserved, hallowed dining establishments - is fun, boisterous and lively. This is where locals shake off a long day, often staying out till the last trains leave the city.

Résumé
Eat the streets after midnight.

As the sun sets, the neon lights of Tokyo flicker to life: hidden restaurants and bars come alive; rounds of beer, highballs and sake are ordered, and the scent of yakitori and sounds of nightlife fill the air.

Tokyo's night scene is always fun, boisterous and lively. This is where locals shake off the day, eating and drinking, and often staying out until the last trains leave the city.

Tokyo Up Late is your food guide through the night: from noisy izakayas, ramen joints and tempura bars, to gyoza pit-stops, curry restaurants and the iconic convenience stores that stitch the city together.
