**BENJAMIN STEAK HOUSE ROPPONGI** Benjamin Steak House Tokyo Roppongi I visited for the first time on a weekday in October 2024, a little after 1 p.m. The president of a business partner had reserved a private room, and we had a meal with six people. Following the president who invited us, I ordered the same thing as him, so I'm not entirely sure, but I think this is what he chose. From the weekday lunch set menu: ~PRIX FIXE MENU 7,000 (7,700)~ * Mesclun Salad * Benjamin Soup * USDA Prime Beef Filet Mignon Steak * Cooked to medium-rare This was my first time at Benjamin, and the filet steak was incredibly delicious. The original steak sauce was also very good. I definitely want to come back 😊

The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the hospitality is top-notch. The steak, above all, was incredibly tender and flavorful. The sauteed spinach with butter as a side dish and the dessert cake were both delicious in a way I've never experienced before. I was so engrossed in celebrating our 24th anniversary with my colleagues that I didn't notice the staff preparing a surprise plate for us. This kind of thoughtful service from the restaurant is truly heartwarming.

This time, I visited 'BENJAMIN STEAK HOUSE KYOTO' located in Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo. It's a branch of Benjamin Steak House, which has its main store in New York Manhattan. They offer steaks made with only USDA-certified PRIME BEEF that has been aged for a long time in their dedicated aging room, ensuring the best possible quality for their customers. In addition to meat dishes, they also offer a variety of seafood options to enhance your dining experience. Furthermore, they have a wide selection of wines from around the world, primarily from the United States, and their sommelier will recommend wines that match your preferences and meal.

The atmosphere and service were excellent. The T-bone steak was delicious! 🥩 This is a place I have fond memories of, having been brought here by a colleague when I was 23. I celebrated my parents' wedding anniversary here. We enjoyed the leftover meat at home, and I made a delicious beef bone curry with the bone, as recommended by the staff. 🍛

A sunny Sunday in May, our family lunch at the renowned Benjamin Steak House in Roppongi was the perfect escape. We opted for the weekend lunch menu, including dessert, and the main steak was just the right size for us, in our 60s. While we chose a regular steak, not aged, we were once again impressed by its juiciness and tenderness. The deliciousness was enough to make us forget our busy days as businessmen, and combined with the staff's attentive service, it reaffirmed our belief that this restaurant is a top-class steakhouse that we can confidently recommend. The staff's smiles and greetings, in particular, conveyed exceptional hospitality, making our short time there very pleasant. Furthermore, the atmosphere was surprisingly calm for a location in the heart of the city, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely time with our family, leaving us truly satisfied.
