Torafuku is a teishoku set-meal restaurant on the seventh floor of Lumine Shinjuku 1, specialising in rice cooked in a traditional kamado clay oven. Operated under the full name Daikamadomeshi Torafuku, the chain sources high-quality rice from contracted farms in Niigata, polishing it fresh each morning to preserve its natural sweetness. The Shinjuku branch sits moments from the station's south exit, making it a convenient stop for a proper meal.The restaurant's defining feature is its freshly cooked kamado rice, served with unlimited refills as part of its all-you-can-eat teishoku format. Set meals come with a main dish such as grilled fish, hamburger steak, or karaage fried chicken, accompanied by miso soup, pickles, and a small side. The emphasis on quality rice elevates each dish, with the grain's subtle sweetness complementing savoury accompaniments.
Opening from 11:00 to 23:00 with irregular closing days, Torafuku accommodates both lunch and dinner crowds with equal ease. Its position inside Lumine 1 provides sheltered access directly from Shinjuku Station. The restaurant's popularity means queues can form during peak lunch hours, so arriving slightly off-peak is advisable for a more leisurely meal.

Was looking around for dinner places after 9pm and spotted this restaurant with a short queue at its entrance. Order and pay at counter before seated at table. Was told that there is only limited set menu but it worked out fine.
