"My friends and I went to Shinmaru Rigoletto on a Friday night for a long-awaited reunion. The restaurant was bustling as usual, and the staff were incredibly busy. The 1-pound steak (¥5,800), limited to only 5 servings a day, was unfortunately sold out, but the rib-eye steak was juicy and had a perfect balance of fat and meat. We enjoyed a variety "

"I visited this restaurant craving authentic Brazilian churrasco. (It used to be hard to get a reservation, but I'm glad that with more locations, it's easier to find a spot now.) The flavors are just like in Brazil, with a variety of cuts of beef. The taste is equally delicious, and I'm especially happy they offer picanha (the ichibo cut), a favori"

"Experience the charm of a traditional Japanese inn with natural hot springs in a prime location in the heart of the city.

"The Grand Kitchen at the Palace Hotel Tokyo is a restaurant where you can enjoy a variety of dishes in a sophisticated atmosphere. The interior is spacious and open, yet it offers a calming ambiance. The staff's service is incredibly attentive, making for a pleasant experience. The wine is surprisingly affordable, which is a plus. The jamón serrano"

"I visited 'Little Koiwai' located on the B2F of the Otemachi Building. Is 'Rome-spa' a category? It's the style where they stir-fry pre-boiled thick noodles. Even though it was close to 1:00 PM during lunchtime, there was a line of about 10 people. It's a popular place, but the turnover is fast, so I was able to get in relatively quickly. It's ra"

"We had lunch on the terrace during the early summer season. The weather was beautiful and the atmosphere was calm, allowing us to fully enjoy the Italian cuisine. Every dish was delicious. Overall, we were very satisfied and would definitely like to visit again."

"We arrived at 5:00 PM on Wednesday, August 14th, without a reservation. Since there were many reservations starting at 7:00 PM, we were asked to leave by 6:45 PM. The organic beer and roast beef salad were quite filling, enough for about four people. The charcuterie platter with three selections was delicious, especially the meat. We also order"

"I visited this restaurant for dinner on my way back from Tokyo Station. While it's on the higher end for tonkatsu, it's still affordable compared to typical dining out. The mozuku vinegar, tonkatsu, white rice, miso soup, and condiments were all surprisingly delicious. The building and the restaurant itself have stylish interiors and exteriors. Nee"

"After a study session, we were looking for a place that stayed open late, so we went to an American diner that's open until 4 am. We toasted with their original craft beer, Marunouchi White, which has a citrusy flavor. The menu was very American, with dishes like ham serrano, Caesar salad, hot kraken, macaroni and cheese, french fries, and cheese p"

"After work, I headed to a French brasserie in Otemachi, a popular spot among urban working women. ☆ This time, I had a reservation for a window seat on the 9th floor, and we started our dinner at a lovely table with a beautiful view of the neon lights of the neighboring building. ■ Main Course: [Charcoal-Grilled T-Bone Steak] Large Platter Sharin"

"I visited after a long time. As usual, it was a popular restaurant, so I waited in line for the tickets for 10 minutes, then another 10 minutes for a table. Once I sat at the counter, it took 5 minutes for my bowl to arrive. The noodles were delicious, thick and chewy, making my jaw tired. They offer free large portions, but you have to eat quickly"

"I visited with friends for a weekday lunch. The direct access from the subway is convenient. We had a 90-minute course starting at 1.30 pm, which included a welcome drink, making it a great deal. The location is bright and pleasant, with a glass-walled space overlooking the Imperial Palace moat. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. How"

"We made a reservation for lunch and enjoyed the meal. The main course had five options to choose from. I selected the ginger pork, while my companion chose the hamburger with demi-glace sauce. We could choose between soup or salad, and bread or rice, and we added a dessert and hot coffee set. The pork had an overly strong ginger flavor. The hamburg"

"I had the Shichirigahama course, and everything from the appetizers to the pasta, main course, and dessert was absolutely delicious. The domestic beef sirloin grilled over charcoal was especially good, not greasy at all and as tender as filet mignon. Since I was with a group, we enjoyed a variety of wines, including sparkling, white, and red, by "

"A counter-only curry shop located on the B1 floor of Marunouchi Oazo. Considering its location, the three-curry combination for under ¥1,500 is definitely a good value. The sharp keema curry with its meaty flavor and the hearty bean curry with its satisfyingly soft texture are both excellent. The shrimp curry with its tender shrimp, balanced acid"

"With the recent surge in prices and land values, lunch in the Tokyo Station area has become a standard ¥1,000 or more. In fact, I feel like there are many places that cost over ¥2,000. However, the reality is that wages haven't kept up with this inflation. Eating lunch that costs several thousand yen every day is tough. Amidst this, I heard about "
