Fukumusume

Fukumusume is a standing bar to consider when you want a drink with a few small plates. The menu calls its doteni stew a “must-eat if you’ve come to Shinsekai!” Other options include stir-fried offal and quick-to-order bites such as edamame and seared duck loin. You could start with the stew and a small plate, then add grilled chicken if you’re still hungry. The grilled chicken options include chicken neck, chicken hearts, skirt steak, gizzards and chicken thigh, with salt or sauce available for each.

One diner recalled enjoying the rolled omelette, while another mentioned the miso sauce served with the oden. The menu presents both oden with a touch of red pickled ginger and a rolled omelette with a little extra flair as house specialities. A visitor also reported that it may be possible to order oden from the establishment next door, so check with the staff on the day about where to place your order.

Drinks include beer, highballs with lemon, yuzu or ume, and chuhai in flavours such as plain or lemon. With options ranging from quick bites to stew and grilled chicken, the menu works for a solo meal or a drink shared over several dishes.
