Hyperlocal Tokyo

I came here on the recommendation of a friend. It's a high-end yakiniku restaurant with private rooms. The restaurant's recommendation is the course, and you can choose from three different options. I wasn't very hungry that day, so I ordered a la carte, but everything was delicious (especially the yukke). The atmosphere and the food were truly VIP-style, making it a perfect place for business dinners or dates. Next time, I'll come with an empty stomach and order a course.

I was taken here for my birthday. The atmosphere and the food were both excellent. It was my first time trying mino shabu-shabu.

The meat, rice, and dishes are all excellent, but the atmosphere and service are truly exceptional. The staff's attentiveness and hospitality are top-notch. I believe this is a high-end yakiniku restaurant befitting the Ginza district. It was delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

This yakiniku restaurant is located in a building just a few minutes' walk from Exit B3 of Ginza Station. It's part of the Kobau group, which has moved to Namiki-dori, and as the name suggests, it's a higher-grade establishment. I had been there before, but it had been a while, so I was invited to visit again. The interior features private rooms throughout, with a distinctly luxurious atmosphere. There was a magnificent pine tree in the room. The courses range from ¥19,800 to ¥35,000, offering a wide selection for different occasions. We had the ¥35,000 course on this occasion. It started with several elaborate appetizers, reminiscent of a traditional Japanese restaurant, followed by mino shabu-shabu, grilled meats, katsu sandwiches, matsutake mushroom sukiyaki, matsutake mushroom clay pot rice, and finished with cold noodles. The grilled meats included four varieties, including thick-cut tongue, and I personally loved the final combination of bread, rice, and noodles, which made for a wonderfully filling experience. The mino shabu-shabu was sliced incredibly thin, like tettsai (thinly sliced pufferfish). The appearance and texture were similar to fugu, and it was delicious. The sukiyaki, which appeared quite rich, was actually quite light thanks to the use of lean cuts of meat. It was so good, I could have easily eaten a bowl of rice with just the sukiyaki. This restaurant in Ginza offers a perfect balance of classic yakiniku and seasonal Japanese cuisine, making it a consistently excellent choice for a luxurious experience.

This establishment operates with only six exclusive private rooms, aptly named 'Special Rooms'. Given its location in Ginza, it's likely that a significant number of its patrons are incredibly wealthy. The concept of 'cost-effectiveness' is irrelevant here. In fact, if you're looking for value, there are better options elsewhere. Reservations are easy to secure, and the private rooms are well-appointed, offering a luxurious dining experience with premium meats, truffles, caviar, and other high-end ingredients. It's the perfect place for important business dinners, catering to those for whom money is no object. Sometimes, budget-friendly restaurants lack the sophistication and exclusivity that certain occasions demand. In that sense, 'Special Rooms' is a fitting name. I opted for the most expensive course, and it was, needless to say, delicious. As you rarely encounter other guests, it's likely that celebrities frequent this establishment. I aspire to be the kind of person who deserves a 'Special Room'. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
