Komeraku: A luxurious day for ochazuke. Lumine Est Shinjuku — Restaurant in Tokyo

Located next to the Shinjuku Station, Komeraku is at level 8 of MyLord Shinjuku Department Store. Great place to satisfy your hunger after a long day of shopping. Servers speaks limited English and were very helpful try to understand your needs. English menu is available upon request. Fresh ingredients used to cook the dishes.

We got a seafood bowl which consisted of salmon, crab, ikura and uni. After eating about half of your rice, you can pour in the tea (tasted more like a dashi broth) into the bowl and enjoy it with a new taste. The food was pretty good and it came with a little side dish as well. The seafood was fresh and the tea dashi was good. I have had higher seafood quality elsewhere but this was very good for the cost. We also got a jasmine tea which was good as well. Overall, I...
