Isetan Shinjuku (Depachika Food Hall)
伊勢丹新宿店
Shinjuku · near Shinjuku-sanchome Station; Shinjuku Station
Japan's flagship department store, celebrated for its basement 'depachika' food hall — a dazzling gourmet floor of bento, patisserie, sweets, deli counters and a Jean-Paul Hevin cafe — plus fashion and homeware floors above.
Honest drawbacks: Very busy, especially the food floor at lunchtime and early evening.
