Hyperlocal Tokyo

I dined at the restaurant with the most expensive course on the menu. For a high-end establishment, the portions were quite generous. They offered a tuna dish for an additional ¥1,500, which I opted for. However, by the time the main steak arrived, I was quite full and couldn't fully appreciate it at its best. Nevertheless, both the sirloin and the filet were incredibly delicious. The filet was so tender and flavorful that I didn't even miss the option of upgrading to a Chateaubriand. The bread served was also a highlight, with a fluffy, chewy texture that I absolutely loved. The homemade butter was incredibly soft and white, adding another layer of deliciousness. Overall, the food was truly satisfying. However, there was a very loud female customer present, which slightly marred the ambiance. It's not the restaurant's fault, but it does reflect a certain level of formality when such guests are allowed in.

The restaurant is located in a building right next to Ginza Station, making it easy to find. I was invited here for a birthday celebration. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and the staff were incredibly attentive, refilling our glasses as soon as they were empty. The food was just the right amount for women. It included appetizers, soup, main course, dessert, and unlimited drinks.

We had lunch here for our wedding anniversary. The location is fantastic, with Mitsukoshi right across the street. The meat is delicious, needless to say, and the bread and whipped butter are also amazing. What surprised me even more was the all-you-can-drink option, which included craft beer (three varieties of Coedo Beer), and even a 12-year-old Valentine's Day whisky. Even at some high-end restaurants, the all-you-can-drink option often includes just Black Nikka highballs (nothing wrong with Nikka itself), so this was a very generous offer. It was a truly impressive restaurant.

Located conveniently near Ginza Mitsukoshi, this restaurant offers a sophisticated atmosphere perfect for a gathering of adult women. The large windows provide a view of the Ginza cityscape, while the low ceiling and slightly dim lighting create a cozy ambiance. We enjoyed their lunch special, which included a welcome drink, a dessert box, and a cafe-free plan until 3 PM. The set menu featured appetizers, soup, bread, and a main course of black Angus beef cut steak. **Dessert Box:** * Strawberry macaron * Crème brûlée * Raw chocolate * White chocolate mini canelé * Cassis mousse with strawberry sauce * Fruit vol-au-vent * Dried fruit and bitter chocolate cake * Seasonal fruit compote **Cafe-Free:** * In-house roasted coffee * Tea * Herbal tea (chamomile) Upon being seated, we were greeted with a beautiful decorative plate, instantly elevating the mood. The appetizer plate and bread with butter were also presented on stylish dishes. The appetizers and the canelé and compote from the dessert box were the highlights of the meal. While the main course, a charcoal-grilled steak, is their specialty, the black Angus beef was a bit tougher than expected, which was a slight disappointment. However, the accompanying vegetables were all delicious. The dessert box was a luxurious treat with a variety of options, making it feel like an afternoon tea and lunch combined. The cafe-free option was not explained, making it unclear if refills were allowed. Having a wider selection of beverages would add to the enjoyment of choosing. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I had lunch here. I ordered the all-you-can-drink course. It was incredibly good value for money. The restaurant was full of women (laughs). I feel like restaurants that are popular with women tend to be good value, delicious, relaxing, and great for lingering, so maybe this was a good choice.
