Man, Shinjuku's late-night ramen scene is insane. Forget the absolute best, you'll find a dozen places that'll blow your mind within a five-minute radius of that Seven Eleven.

Prepare for possibly questionable everything though, that's part of the charm.

Yeah, Daily Yamazaki's a beast after hours. Good luck getting onigiri before the salarymen swarm in! As for that neon-green melon soda... Konbinis are a lottery. Some have the weirdest stuff, others are disappointingly normal. Your best bet is hitting a few different ones near Golden Gai. Don't expect to find it at every 7-Eleven or FamilyMart. Prepare for disappointment, but the hunt is half the fun! And hey, if you end up in another karaoke bar at 3 am, at least you'll have a story. Maybe try to avoid the Journey this time though... someone might call the police.
