Last Saturday (December 7th), to celebrate a customer's birthday, I was invited by Popcorn's Hina Mama to have a course meal at ORCA, a teppanyaki restaurant in Shinjuku 3-chome.
We enjoyed a very luxurious course meal that included the main dish ``Teppanyaki grilled lobster'' and ``Top grade A5 Sendai beef sirloin steak.''
After that, I stopped by Shinjuku 2-chome Popcorn with a customer, but I missed the last train, so after having a drink at a few shops on 2-chome, I went to Kabukicho, which I had always wanted to go to, to adjust my time until the first train. I visited the Go club "Shusaku" for the first time.
Therefore, this time I will introduce the two stores mentioned above.
Teppanyaki restaurant "ORCA"
OCHER is a French and Japanese teppanyaki restaurant located in Shinjuku 3-chome.
There are 3 horigotatsu tables that can seat 4 people, and each table is separated by a bamboo blind, so you can use it as if you were in a private room.
The interior of the restaurant has a very elegant and calm atmosphere, making it ideal for celebrating anniversaries and birthdays.
Please note that the number of table seats is limited, so you will need to make a reservation in advance.
``Lobster'' is ORCA's signature dish, where large, live lobsters are taken out of the fish tank and then cooked on a griddle.
The course I received this time was a course meal with this lobster and top grade A5 Sendai beef sirloin steak as the main dish. Below is the course content and gallery.

Go Club “Shusaku”
After leaving ORCA in Shinjuku 3-chome, I had planned to stop by Shinjuku 2-chome Popcorn before heading home, but due to my drinking, I ended up missing the last train.
I had no choice but to leave the popcorn behind, and after drinking at a few gay bars in Shinjuku 2-chome, I made my first visit to Shusaku, a Go club in Kabukicho that I had always wanted to go to, in order to adjust my time until the first train.
at present,Excellent strategyIt seems to be open 24 hours only on weekends.
The gallery below shows what it looked like at that time.
When I visited just before 3 a.m., there were three customers in the store. Mr. Sekitei, who was in charge at night, was said to have a skill level of about 6th dan, and those who played the game for the first time were said to be about 3rd dan. Since I was half drunk, I didn't play Go and asked my opponent to move first.
Due to the difference in our skill levels (I'm 5th dan), both games were won by white and medium, but even if you're drunk, you can still play Go.
Regarding food and drinks, Mr. Shusaku was told that there would be no other food available late at night other than tea, and he was advised to bring drinks other than tea from Starbucks.
