Yamaguchi Livestock, which offers the finest quality Mogami beef in the city of Mogami in Yamagata Prefecture, operates a yakiniku restaurant where you can enjoy this top-grade black wagyu. The restaurant is located a 3-minute walk from Ginza Station C2 exit on the Tokyo Metro, or a 7-8 minute walk from JR Yurakucho Station Central West Exit or Ginza Exit. If coming from Ginza Station, turn right at the corner just past Tokyu Plaza Ginza. Then, take the second left onto Taimei Street and the restaurant will be on the ground floor of the second building on your left. From Yurakucho Station, if exiting from the Ginza Exit, follow along the tracks on your left to reach the restaurant easily. The Hiratagatsu course includes a platter of three types of chilled Mogami beef (yukhoe, tataki, and gyu sashimi). The Tataki is served on onion slices and green shiso leaves with ponzu jelly for a refreshing taste. The yukhoe is topped with a separate sauce containing egg yolk and a sweet marinade, accompanied by a tie made of scallions with foam soy sauce and perilla flowers. The chilled meats are sure to captivate your taste buds. Cheers with a freshly squeezed sudachi sour. The appetizer platter includes four types of namul: spinach, bean sprouts, fiddleheads, and coriander. The salad features lettuce, sliced raw mushrooms, and other raw vegetables topped with Grana Padano cheese. The thick-cut upper tongue of Mogami beef is tender and easy to eat, served with lemon to enhance the flavor. The gizzard and heart are enjoyed with salt seasoning. The red wine-braised Mogami beef is tender and served with mashed potatoes. The Kuro Nawa Daiginjo sake from Takagi Sake Brewery in Yamagata Prefecture is especially delicious. The selection of sake, all from Yamagata, complements the meal perfectly. The yakiniku platter includes two selected cuts: necktie and chili pepper. The thinly sliced meats with beautiful marbling are lightly seared before eating. The one-bite steak platter features Chateaubriand, lamb loin, and sirloin steak. These luxurious cuts are thick and flavorful. Finish with grilled shimacho and upper mino. For the meal, choose between meat tea pickles and cold noodles. The cold noodles are a refreshing choice after a satisfying meal. The unique dessert "Kobou Yogurt" is ordered and enjoyed as a sweet drink. The dessert of the day is a refreshing Satonishiki cherry-flavored sorbet. Inside the restaurant, monitors display images of the cattle ranch and barns. The interior features private rooms with walls designed using wood from the barn. The ventilation system ensures that smoke and odors are not an issue inside the rooms. The restaurant's name, Nemaru, is a dialect term meaning to sit and relax. The thoughtful design and atmosphere make it a great place to unwind and enjoy a meal. Considering the quality of the cuts and the variety of dishes offered at such a reasonable price in Ginza, this yakiniku restaurant is definitely worth a repeat visit.
