Lonely Planet review

Tucked away in aromatic Omoide-yokocho (Memory Lane), Albatross and the surrounding yakitori (charcoal-broiled chicken and other meats or vegetables, cooked on skewers) joints would have been knocked down long ago if owners had let developers have their way. It's a tiny postwar space for cheek-to-jowl chats and boasts the incredible rarity of a third-floor terrace right in the middle of the neon jungle.
