Across from the Southern Tower, there is a simplified version of Imahan with a different brand. They offer a variety of affordable lunch options and it's not too crowded, so it's quite convenient. I always passed by without going in, thinking it was just another tenant in the department store. On a weekend afternoon, everywhere else had long lines, but since time was limited, I decided to try the place with the shortest line. While waiting in line, it became 2 o'clock, and I found out that they only take course orders until 2 o'clock, then only offer set meals or individual items. This is efficient. The line was a bit confusing as it turned a corner, so if you're at the back, you might not realize that it's moving forward. The interior was not as spacious as I had imagined, but the tables were large and the seating was comfortable. The service was more casual and friendly than I expected, with a friendly middle-aged woman assisting us. The number of staff was sufficient. As for the food, the quality of the meat in the main dishes was top-notch, with just the right amount of marbling and cooked to perfection. My companion enjoyed their sukiyaki as well. It's clear that they are able to sustain multiple tenants because they offer quality dishes that can attract customers.

The staff in kimono prepare and serve meat and vegetables beautifully in individual dishes. The roasted green tea is replaced with a new cup after each serving. Hot towels are provided at the beginning and before dessert. You can enjoy a leisurely meal at a table in a semi-private setting.

I wanted to eat a luxurious sukiyaki to celebrate my birthday. It's my third time, but it's still delicious. The meat is tender, and the balance of fat is just right. It's a must-visit restaurant every time I go to Japan. The kids' set also looks delicious. I will definitely go again.

I had the premium Shabu-Shabu course at Imahan. Each dish was delicious, the service and customer service were excellent, and the timing of each dish being served was perfect. I was impressed. As expected of Imahan. I would love to go back again if I have the chance.

Due to its convenient location, we have visited this place many times. This time, we tried the special summer course using the highest quality beef, and ended up ordering more beef. The service is always good, but it would be even more helpful if they spoke English, as it is a place frequented by tourists. However, overall, we are satisfied with the meal.

I went to the restaurant "Ningyocho Imahan" located on the 14th floor of Shinjuku Takashimaya for lunch. I ordered the "Sukiyaki Lunch" which consisted of appetizer, sukiyaki, rice, and dessert. I started with a toast at "Shirahonoka", then switched to "Dassai" 23 when the sukiyaki time began. I enjoyed the high-quality Aomori-produced top sirloin and premium shoulder loin with excellent marbling in the sukiyaki. The sukiyaki at "Ningyocho Imahan" was delicious as always, so I can confidently bring friends here! Although I intended to have a budget-friendly lunch, I ended up splurging on "Dassai" sake, but I have no regrets as good food and good drinks are essential. Overall, it was a great dining experience with a nice atmosphere.

I waited for about 30 minutes from around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and the meat was very delicious. The egg rice dish at the end was also excellent. It's located almost inside Shinjuku Station, so it's a big plus that you can go there without getting wet even on rainy days.

This is a dinner review. I visited without a reservation. The place was clean, spacious, and had a calming atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service was just right. They didn't interrupt our conversation and asked if we wanted more meat or drinks at the right times. I would like to visit again.

When it comes to dining at Imahan, sukiyaki is usually the go-to option, but this time I tried their shabu-shabu instead. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was calming, allowing me to relax. The grilled steak was delicious and satisfying. Of course, the shabu-shabu meat was also very tasty.

I arrived around 6:00 pm on a weekday and the restaurant was full, but I was glad I made a reservation. Today I visited Imahan, a renowned sukiyaki restaurant. I had never dined in the restaurant before, only tried their bento delivery from the main store. I ordered the special sukiyaki for 8250 yen and a hot yuzu drink for 660 yen. The meal included sukiyaki, rice (free refills), soup, and pickles, totaling around 9800 yen with service charge included. The hot yuzu drink arrived first, warming me up from the inside with its perfect sourness. The sukiyaki arrived in about 5 minutes with ingredients like beef, grilled tofu, chrysanthemum greens, leeks, wheat gluten, white konjac, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, turnips, and sweet potatoes. The sukiyaki was prepared in the Kanto style, simmered in a sauce made of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin. The beef slices were beautifully marbled and delicious, melting in my mouth and spreading a sweet flavor. The skilled chef cooked the meat in the sauce first to bring out the pure meaty flavor. The sukiyaki was exquisite, and I couldn't help but exclaim "delicious." After that, I added the sauce and dashi broth to continue enjoying the meal at my own pace. The simmered beef retained its rich flavor from the sauce and dashi broth, making each bite even more flavorful. Despite being a high-end dish, the simple seasoning of soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and dashi made it a familiar and comforting taste that paired well with rice. The turnips were in season and incredibly sweet, showcasing the power of seasonal ingredients. The chrysanthemum greens had a strong aroma and a slightly bitter taste, serving as a perfect side dish. The grilled tofu was best enjoyed with the broth, adding depth to its mild flavor. The leeks provided a crunchy texture and a sweet taste after being simmered, complementing the dish perfectly. The wheat gluten, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, white konjac, and sweet potatoes were all essential components of sukiyaki, completing the dish. To finish the meal, I mixed the remaining sauce with an egg to create a rice bowl reminiscent of oyakodon. The combination of the rich beef and vegetable broth, encapsulated by the egg, created an explosion of flavor that was truly exceptional. The cozy atmosphere and attentive service were exceptional, making the whole dining experience enjoyable. Despite the renowned status of Imahan, the entire meal was served in just 40 minutes, showcasing their efficiency and quality. Overall, my experience at this prestigious sukiyaki restaurant was truly outstanding.

I have a shop on the 14th floor of Shinjuku Takashimaya. I used to come here for sukiyaki, but this time I felt like having something lighter, so I ordered shabu-shabu. We ordered the special selection meat for 3 people and the top loin for 1 person. We also had sashimi for 2 people and edamame before the shabu-shabu. The special selection meat had beautiful marbling and a sweet flavor, it was really delicious. Although there were only 5 slices, each one was quite large and satisfying. On the other hand, the top loin had less marbling compared to the special selection, and had a lighter taste. This might be recommended for those who don't like fatty meat. It went well with the Chita Highball we were drinking, and we were very satisfied. For the finishing touch, we used the remaining shabu-shabu broth to make ramen. With just the broth and noodles, it was a bit lacking for me as a salt lover, but when I added sesame sauce and chili oil, it turned into tantanmen and was delicious. The staff's service was also excellent, and I had a stress-free experience. Thank you for the meal.

After a long time, I visited "Imahan" at Shinjuku Takashimaya for lunch. As a big fan of Mitsukoshi Isetan, I rarely shop or eat at Takashimaya, so it felt quite fresh to me. The restaurant area looked upscale and well-maintained, possibly even better than Isetan. The staff, dressed in kimonos, provided polite service. I had lunch with a friendly elderly lady from a bread-making class, so I decided to go for the Sukiyaki Special for 8,250 yen. We started with a yuzu juice toast, which was incredibly sour and intense. The appetizer was simmered komatsuna greens and sweet simmered fish, both delicious. The meat arrived, and it turned out to be quite fatty, even stronger than expected. However, the flavor was rich and satisfying. The staff cooked the first piece for us, dipping it in raw egg. Despite my initial concerns about the fat content, it was actually quite enjoyable. The meat's sweetness was delightful. We were also offered extra rice and egg at no additional cost, which was generous. Lastly, we were served an egg rice bowl with the remaining sauce, which was a nice touch. The dessert was plum-flavored, refreshing and tasty. Overall, although the lunch was a bit pricey, the quality and quantity made it worth it. I might become a regular at Takashimaya. Thank you for the meal.

I visited a sukiyaki restaurant on the 14th floor of Shinjuku Takashimaya. I informed them in advance about the wheat allergy in my family, and they were well-prepared. As a result, we were able to enjoy incredibly delicious sukiyaki and we are very satisfied.

This time, I visited the famous sukiyaki and shabu-shabu restaurant "Imahan Shinjuku Takashimaya Store" in Tokyo. Established in 1895, it is a long-standing restaurant known for its traditional Japanese cuisine. The exterior of the Shinjuku Takashimaya Imahan looks like this. The interior has a calm atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a leisurely meal. The menu offers sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, and steak, and I decided to try the shabu-shabu this time. I ordered the premium shabu-shabu course (6,480 yen), and the quality of the beef was amazing. It was tender and melted in my mouth. The vegetables served with the course were also fresh and delicious. The portion size was generous, and I ended up ordering additional beef sushi because I couldn't get enough of the delicious meat. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience, and I highly recommend trying the premium beef at Imahan if you're a meat lover.

I was researching where to eat in Shinjuku and found many of my favorite restaurants at Takashimaya. I was surprised to see Imahan at Takashimaya, even though it's also at Isetan! Since it was a Saturday, I thought if the reservation was full, I would go somewhere else. But when I visited, I was able to get in. The restaurant had a bright atmosphere with sunlight coming in from the windows. They recommended the sukiyaki course as a good deal, so I went with that. The appetizers of simmered beef and komatsuna were just right in portion, and the seasonal dish for this month included sesame tofu, ayu oil stew, miso-marinated beef, and skewered nama-fu, which were all satisfying even in small amounts. The chawanmushi had a firm texture and a nice eggy flavor, and the large shiitake mushroom was soft and gave a sense of satisfaction before the sukiyaki. The sukiyaki was made with beef from Shizuoka, and it was delicious with a rich flavor, cooked lightly and tender. The fu and tofu were soft, and the shiitake was large, making me feel like I couldn't eat anymore. The recommended way to finish the sukiyaki was with egg rice, and it was not as rich as the one I had in Nihonbashi, but just right, with fluffy eggs and delicious taste. As a big fan of eggs, I was extremely satisfied, but now I feel like my stomach is about to burst (laughs). I really need to start a diet!

I went to Imahan in Ningyocho, which is located on the 14th floor of the restaurant building. You need to spend at least 3,000 yen to have lunch on the 14th floor. It's quite an intimidating floor. There are various Imahan restaurants, but this was my first time visiting this one. The main branch is in Asakusa, and this one in Ningyocho is one of the branches that branched out from there. Although they share the same roots, they operate as independent entities. The interior of the restaurant is spacious, typical of the 14th floor. I'm not sure if this luxurious space usage is due to COVID or if it was like this from the beginning. During my visit on a Saturday at 1 pm, the restaurant was about 20% full. The equipment and furnishings were all very well-maintained. The lunch menu includes sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, and steak ranging from 2,750 yen to 12,650 yen. Even for dinner, there are items that make you hesitate due to the price. I have listed the evening menu at the bottom. I chose the "Famous Steak Bowl" for 2,970 yen, which is within the 3,000 yen range. It's not just a regular bowl, it comes with various side dishes like a bento box. The rice can be upgraded to a larger portion for free. The dressing is Caesar-like in flavor, and it seems to be homemade. It was very delicious. The bowl includes burdock, komatsuna, lettuce, red cabbage, asparagus, carrots, and crispy fried cheese. The miso soup with enoki mushrooms was also very tasty. Even the miso soup alone had a great taste. It must not be instant miso soup. I would definitely want to buy it if it was. But it's probably not instant miso soup. The main dish, the steak bowl, emits a wonderful aroma. The sweet and savory sauce, along with the delicious sweetness of the beef, creates an exquisite taste. The sauce is sweet and savory, yet light in flavor. The sauce is strangely delicious. It makes you want to buy it and take it home. The sweet and savory sauce, combined with the delicious sweetness of the beef, creates an excellent steak bowl. I felt like I could eat it endlessly. I added a hot spring egg halfway through, which transformed the dish into something resembling sukiyaki. The sweet and savory sauce combined with the egg, creating a flavor similar to sukiyaki. The white rice was in perfect condition, and I'm glad I upgraded to a larger portion. Although the price of 2,970 yen is quite high for lunch, the quality more than justifies it. Someday, I will try the nighttime menu at Imahan.

I suddenly craved sukiyaki, so I headed to Shinjuku and visited Imahan. I felt like having bottled beer as well, so I chose a course meal with appetizers and sashimi. As I enjoyed my bottled beer, I started with appetizers and sashimi, followed by a steamed egg custard with shark fin. Then, I savored the main dish of Tochigi wagyu sukiyaki, dipping it in egg and experiencing an indescribable richness of the meat. I finished with egg rice, red miso soup, dessert, and roasted green tea. Thank you for the feast.

I had a strong craving for meat, and when I wasn't in the mood for yakiniku, steak, or shabu-shabu, I visited NowHan. Occasionally, don't you just feel like having sukiyaki? NowHan never disappoints! The quality of the meat was truly delicious.

Recently, I haven't had sukiyaki much, but the meat and sauce were very rich, and the eggs and rice were delicious. I felt like I could eat dozens of them. The limited autumn special lunch was also delicious, with tasty appetizers and desserts. September to November autumn special.

During lunchtime, the restaurant floor at Shinjuku Takashimaya is always crowded, but a good time to visit is during weekdays at the 14th floor. There are many high-end restaurants with higher prices, so you can usually get a seat relatively quickly. I visited Imahan for the first time in a while. Of course, I came for the sukiyaki. The set meal comes with sashimi, chawanmushi, and the sukiyaki itself, providing a satisfying meal. Not only is the sukiyaki delicious, but you can also enjoy a slightly luxurious feeling. Dessert is also included. Since I had a child with me, they kindly brought out the rice first. It was a thoughtful gesture that made me happy. The staff were very friendly, and I was able to enjoy my lunch with my child in a relaxed atmosphere.

Sukiyaki is a classic dish at Imahan in the Shinjuku Takashimaya store. Due to COVID-19 precautions, it was a bit disappointing that we had to cook it ourselves, but the delicious meat gave us energy. Definitely a 5-star rating, I want to visit again. I love it so much that I don't want to tell anyone about it. If asked for a recommendation, I would introduce this place. I might go again. I prefer to try a different restaurant next time. I don't want to go. Personally, I do not recommend it. Follow me on Instagram @tokyo_gourmet_yokutaberuko. Check out my food blog on Tabelog - "Yokutaberuko." I only introduce restaurants with 4 or 5 stars on Instagram. #ShinjukuGourmet #ShinjukuCafe #ShinjukuLunch #Shinjuku #ShinjukuDate #TokyoGourmet #TokyoCafe #TokyoLunch #TokyoDate #Tokyo #TokyoTrip #TokyoRestaurant #TokyoCafe #JapanTrip #Sukiyaki #Imahan #NingyochoImahan #TokyoSukiyaki #ShinjukuSukiyaki
