Tucked away in the charming streets of Asagaya, Shinju by Jenny brings the vibrant spirit of Taiwanese night markets to this cozy Tokyo neighborhood. Though not a traditional izakaya, this quaint food stand is brimming with the rich aroma of spices and authentic Taiwanese flavors. Signature dishes like lu rou fan (braised pork rice) and xiao long bao (soup dumplings) make it the perfect stop for a quick yet satisfying culinary escape along the Chuo Line. With just 10 counter seats, the intimate space invites friendly conversations with fellow diners—often regulars—and the welcoming host herself, Jenny.
