I love the tororo, miso soup, and tail soup that come with any set meal. Some people may not like the slightly spicy miso-like miso soup, but I want to buy it in a bottle. I always order my rice in a smaller portion, but this time when asked if half would be okay, I hesitated thinking it might be too little, but the staff immediately said they could do 2/3 as well. I've never heard of 2/3 rice before! Thank you, I will order that amount from now on! The first picture shows the 2/3 portion of rice. The second picture shows the regular portion of rice. I wonder if they used to have beef stew-like set meals in the past, but I couldn't find any now, only individual items. It was quite delicious, so I hope they bring it back, maybe in winter. It's a bit pricey, but I feel like going there occasionally. Thank you for the meal.

I had the all-you-can-eat option and tried the three different types of beef tongue: regular, salted, and miso flavored. Each had a unique texture, but I especially enjoyed the thick cut that was tender and easy to eat. The negishi (green onion) was a great addition to the meal. Overall, I was very satisfied with the set meal.

(December 2022) There is hand sanitizer at the entrance. The staff are wearing masks. There are dividers at the counter. (9th December 2022) I revisited after probably 13 years, on a weekday evening before 6 pm. There were two young women in their 20s and a male solo customer as the previous customers. I ordered the "Happiness Plus Set" (tax included 1,600 yen). It included red pork, miso pork, spicy pork, tail soup, grated yam, barley rice, pickles, and beef stew. Jazz vocal music was playing. They provided wet towels as a service. The staff refilled water before I asked. Overall, I was satisfied. (Note 1) There were many people in Akihabara. Most people were wearing masks. (Note 2) I heard "Wrapped Around Your Finger" playing softly as I walked around the city. It was the first time I heard a song by The Police in the city. It's a great song released about 40 years ago. I have heard Sting's songs before, like "Fortress Around Your Heart," at a shopping center in Chiba Prefecture.

If you walk down the street of Akihabara's electric town towards Ueno, you will find Negishi, a chain restaurant known for its high-quality beef tongue that can be enjoyed easily. The combination of their "tororo" (grated yam) and "pressed barley rice" is excellent, making the rice disappear quickly. Additionally, the beef tongue grilled over charcoal has a satisfying texture and is incredibly delicious, becoming quite addictive.

During the long weekend, my wife and I went shopping in Akihabara for the first time in a while. When we entered Radio Kaikan, it had completely transformed into an otaku (figure) haven, with only a few stores like Wakamatsu Shoten feeling out of place. It was quite a shock for an old-timer like me. My wife requested to eat "Negishi's beef tongue," so we searched on Google Maps and found a place. It was crowded during lunchtime, but we were seated relatively quickly. We ordered the following sets: - Negishi Set (2,050 yen) [for my wife]: Thinly sliced beef tongue (5 slices), barley rice, grated yam, tail soup, and dessert - Beef Tongue Set (2,500 yen) [for me]: Thick-cut beef tongue (3 slices/6 pieces), barley rice, grated yam, tail soup, and dessert - Non-alcoholic beer (450 yen) It was a very typical beef tongue set. The restaurant had a simple and elegant atmosphere. The beef tongue was tender but lacked a crispy texture. The grated yam was slightly too seasoned for my taste. The Negishi lacked enough Nanban miso (spicy sauce) as a side, it needed at least 10 times more! Overall, it was a decent meal. Thank you.

[Taste] Delicious [Appearance] Average [Ambience] Chain restaurant [Cost performance] Decent Ordered a steak set. The sauce is delicious. Negishi offers free refills of barley rice, which is very appealing. The freshness of the meat and the cooking level at other steak restaurants were mediocre, but this store is just right.

When you're in a pinch and craving Negishi, revisiting it is perfect. I felt like eating absurd amounts of rice this time, but the miso nanban wasn't included. When I asked about it, they seemed to have forgotten and gave me an extra pickled vegetable plate. Lucky me! Thanks to that, I ended up eating more rice than usual and ended up extremely full.

I had a meeting in Akihabara and went there for lunch. Akihabara has many unique restaurants to choose from, but due to lack of time and the current situation, I decided to go to Negishi for some reliable beef tongue. They had a special GW limited set menu called "Shiro Tan Set + Ganko-chan" so I decided to try it out! I wasn't sure what "Ganko-chan" was, so I asked the staff but ended up eating it without knowing what it was (laughs). But it was delicious! The beef tongue was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the rice. Negishi never disappoints with their taste!

Tonkatsu set meal for 1100 yen. Consistent flavor and side dishes. This time, the rice was too soft, which was disappointing as it's usually just right in texture. Also, the meat was undercooked, with tough parts that were hard to chew. Come on kitchen, step up your game.

I was planning to have rice with pickled vegetables, miso, and grated yam, but then I saw that they had a new curry set, so I decided to try that instead. The meat options were spicy pork, juicy chicken, and pork loin. The set came with salad, beef tongue curry, barley rice, and meat for 1,000 yen. When using leeks, I usually go for a healthy and rice-heavy option, so it had a nice punch to it. The salad came with a choice of dressing between vinaigrette and Caesar. The beef tongue curry had a strong beef tongue flavor, with two thick slices of beef tongue. The beef tongue itself was a bit tough, so I added some salt and pepper. The curry itself was pretty good. And then there was the spicy pork, a hearty lunch indeed. I ended up with some leftover curry, so I ended up having two and a third servings. A bit more than usual. I was really full. It was a satisfying meal. But I still wanted to try the pickled vegetables.

I went to Akihabara for work and had lunch with a business partner. They recommended Nigishi-san, and I found it on the second floor of a building along Chuo Street. Despite the narrow entrance of the building, the interior of the restaurant was spacious once you took the elevator up. It was a unique atmosphere in Akihabara, known for its ramen shops and curry eateries where you usually eat at the counter. The first impression was that the restaurant was clean and had a relaxed atmosphere. I ordered the Triple Set, which included two slices of beef loin, two slices of pork loin, and one spicy pork slice. It came with barley rice, pickles, and soup. The meat was well-seasoned and tasty, and the rice was delicious. I wished the slices of meat were a bit thicker for a more satisfying meal. You could have unlimited rice, but I decided to finish with one bowl that day. Thank you for the meal.

Ton-teki set for 1100 yen. This time, there was a lot of pickles and green onions in the soup. Having extra pickles was really nice. The ton-teki had a thick sauce with a good amount of ginger flavor, but the meat itself lacked seasoning, so even though the flavor was strong, it didn't go well with the rice. Seasoning is important. But since there were plenty of pickles, I ended up having two bowls of rice. Maybe chicken would be a safer choice. The triple set is not satisfying and the ton-teki has a good amount of meat, but the rice didn't go down smoothly. I hope there will always be this much pickles in the future. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

As you walk down the Akihabara Electric Town Street towards Ueno, you will see a sign for Negishi. Despite being a chain restaurant, the quality of the food and service is high and reliable. Menu: - New Spicy Triple Set: 1000 yen Includes beef loin, pork loin, ginger pork, grated yam rice, oxtail soup, and pickles. Free refills of rice are available. The meat is grilled right in front of you, so it is served fresh and delicious. The staff, mainly women, provide attentive service. Overall, a good value for the price. I will definitely be back to eat here again. Negishi Akihabara Branch - Rating on Tabelog: - Google Maps: - Hours: 10:30 AM - 10:30 PM - Payment: Accepts Ticket Restaurant vouchers

Triple set lunch for 1000 yen. The beef sirloin has the same soy sauce flavor as the chicken. The spicy pork has garlic and shichimi pepper in soy sauce. The pork loin is marinated in miso. All of them are likely soy-based seasonings, but they have slightly different flavors, so I enjoyed it more than I expected. I like the taste of the pork loin. The miso aroma was nice. But the pork loin set has a small amount of meat. This time, I had two regular-sized rice bowls. It was a bit insufficient, about two bites short.

It's been a while since I last visited Negishi. The Triple Mix Set is highly recommended. The corrections on the menu prices are a bit unsightly. However, the restaurant's desire to serve delicious food with a pleasant atmosphere is evident. The Triple Mix Set includes Salt and Pepper Tongue, Miso-marinated Pork Belly, and Soy Sauce Pork Loin. What a wonderful combination! Even the piece of green onion floating in the soup is delicious. You can get refills and feel satisfied throughout the meal. It was a very delicious and satisfying set. Thank you for the meal.

I had lunch for 850 yen. It seems like chicken doesn't get any cheaper. So, I went with pork this time. It's been a while since I had pork, and it was indeed a bit spicier than chicken. It looked tough, but it was actually tender. However, the portion was small... I think chicken is more satisfying to eat. Maybe I should try the 1000 yen triple chicken set once in a while.

I just realized that the menu until 4:00 pm is different. Chicken is available all day. My trade of soup for oshinko was rejected. Oh well. I finally figured out the best rice portion. One bowl with half grated yam and oshinko, and the other bowl with the remaining oshinko and meat. Next time, I want to come before 4:00 pm and have the 800 yen set meal. The chicken one is 850 yen.

I wanted to eat rice and meat. It was nice. It's calming. I had a bowl of rice with pickles and grated yam. Full of meat. Just the right amount of fullness. But I want a little more pickles. I don't need soup, so I might ask for double next time.

Chicken sizzle set meal for 850 yen. The chicken thigh is marinated in the same sauce as the pork teki from last time. Since it's chicken, it's a bit cheaper which is nice. The taste is the same as the pork teki. There's more meat in this one so that's great. I also had a bowl of barley rice and one and a half servings of meat and pickles. I'm full. I'm satisfied. This is a great place when you just want to eat rice.

I received the Marune Set and it was delicious.
