Negishi's Shirotan's thick-cut beef tongue is soft and very delicious. I've also tried the thin-sliced beef tongue at Ganko-chan, but I still crave the Shirotan set. The soup has just the right amount of broth richness, and the tororo rice can be easily eaten, making it a well-balanced meal for summer fatigue.

When you think of Negishi, you think of beef tongue. But it's a bit expensive. Instead of beef tongue, I ordered a set with grated yam and soup. Upon closer inspection, I realized that I didn't particularly like beef tongue, but rather I went to Negishi because of the grated yam and soup. When I tried it... it was a great decision and I was very satisfied, delicious! Even without beef tongue, Negishi is still great!

On a cloudy Saturday at 6:00 PM, two of us visited the restaurant. There was no wait. The restaurant was about 80% full. We ordered a set of two different kinds of tongue dishes. It arrived in about 10 minutes. The food was consistently delicious. Although the amount of meat felt a bit small, the negishi (green onion) helped to make us feel full. We ordered extra rice and finished everything.

About 10 years ago, I visited this restaurant for the first time and it was almost like a new experience. I was brought here by a friend who loves negishi (leeks). We started with some drinks and had set meals for our main course, following my friend's lead. The lemon sour I had was surprisingly delicious. It was a craft lemon sour served in a bottle, which made it consistently tasty. If it's only 400 yen, I could drink it forever! For my meal, I chose the Ganko Triple Set for 1,200 yen because I was in the mood for pork in addition to beef tongue. I really enjoy pork miso grilled dishes. The portion of meat was a bit small, but with the addition of grated yam, I ended up getting a second helping of rice and left feeling satisfied. I was quite impressed with the overall experience as I left the restaurant. It's not often that I feel this way about chain restaurants, so I have a newfound appreciation for negishi. If I happen to pass by again, I might become a regular like my friend. I will definitely come back!

In the end, the delicious beef tongue negishi!! Negishi is a restaurant that you feel like visiting regularly!! I usually like the juicy chicken yakitori, but recently I wanted to try a different menu at a certain shop!! Personally, I always change the salad to pickles in the set menu (￣∀￣) I used to often get extra barley rice, but recently I have been having one bowl with half meat as a side dish, and the other half with grated yam on top of beef tongue and negishi!! I really love beef tongue, negishi, and grated yam!!

After seeing a tweet or something saying that the set menu at Negishi costs around 3000 yen, I had started to think that beef tongue had become a luxury item. I hadn't been there in a while, but a friend invited me, so I went back. I was surprised to find out that it wasn't even close to 3000 yen! It was actually very cheap! I ordered the "Marune Set" for 1800 yen, which was half of what I had imagined. I even added the spicy pork dish. The taste was as good as always at Negishi. It was nice that you could get free refills of barley rice and they also served grated yam. Later, I found out that the expensive menu was actually from the Shinjuku Takashimaya Times Square branch. Ah, I see now. I felt relieved after checking the prices on the main menu.

I always go to Negishi in Shinjuku Alta Tower on the first weekday after the New Year's holiday, but this time I tried the Kikusui Building store around 1:00 PM. This restaurant has been promoting Sendai beef tongue recently, but I've been disappointed before, so I thought Negishi would be a safe choice. I ordered the Shiroutan set (thick-cut beef tongue 3 pieces/6 slices), extra-large barley rice, and half extra-large barley rice. I also had a draft beer in a tumbler. The beef tongue was tender and delicious, with a slightly mild saltiness. I ended up having two servings because of the delicious grated yam. There seemed to be a new staff member, but they were kind and gave instructions without being strict, maintaining a good atmosphere. The staff members were attentive and one even went into the kitchen to cut the beef tongue, showing their versatility. It was pleasant to watch.

First of all, let's think carefully about customer service. To put it bluntly, it's terrible and unacceptable. And if they raise prices any further, customers will probably start to leave in droves. This restaurant has been portraying itself as a low-priced establishment with a sense of luxury and value. Consumers have come to associate the restaurant with that image. This is a serious issue. Even though they have managed to overlook the previous price increases, going any further would be a problem. The only saving grace is that they have not compromised on quality. In situations like this, things often tend to go downhill, so I hope they can hold on. Thank you for the meal.

Negishi Kikusui Building Store This popular restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including the beef tongue set meal with barley rice and oxtail soup. In addition to beef tongue, they also serve tonkatsu, pork loin, and beef kalbi. I ordered the set meal where you can enjoy two types of tongue, and it was priced at over 2000 yen. The taste was okay. If you are looking for a place to eat, I recommend checking it out. Introduction: I visit over 500 restaurants and bars every year.

I had negishi for lunch. It's a reasonable amount and just right. Thinly sliced white and crunchy red, both delicious with the taste of beef tongue. I tried my family's thick cut too, and it was also delicious. But I think I prefer the thin one.

I went to Negishi for the first time. When I order delivery, the food tends to be a bit cold, but when I ate at the restaurant, it was piping hot and tasted completely different. I tried three different dishes and they were all delicious. The grated yam rice had a generous amount of yam, more than I usually eat, and it was amazing.

Today's food adventure took me to Gyutan Negishi in Shinjuku, where I indulged in various types of beef tongue. On January 16th, I had some personal errands to run in Shinjuku, Tokyo, so I decided to have an early dinner at this beef tongue specialty restaurant. I sat at a table and ordered the white tongue, negishi, and ganko. Before the dishes arrived, I enjoyed a lemon sour to toast to a rare day off. After about 10 minutes, the three types of beef tongue were served: - White tongue: 2 slices for 650 yen (tax included). The thick-cut white tongue was tender with a nice chewy texture and delicious seasoning. - Negishi: 2 slices for 500 yen (tax included). The thinly sliced negishi was easy to eat and just as tasty. - Ganko-chan: 2 slices for 150 yen (tax included). The thinly sliced lean red meat had a refreshing taste and a strong chewy texture. - Mini Ganko-chan: 6 slices for 450 yen (tax included). I also ordered the mini version, which was three thinly sliced pieces of red meat with a similar taste to the previous dish. Overall, the white tongue was thick and chewy, the negishi was tender, and the ganko had a refreshing flavor. This restaurant offers a variety of meats at a reasonable price, and it was delicious. Please note that taste preferences may vary, so it's best to try it for yourself. Enjoy!

Beef tongue and leek spicy triple set. It includes miso pork, black pepper beef loin, and spicy pork with chili pepper. Enjoyed with barley rice, grated yam, and beef tail soup, the meal was delicious as always. While ramen and curry have been popular lately, a set meal like this is also satisfying. Thank you for the meal.

In Tokyo, you can easily enjoy beef tongue at "Negishi." I used to wonder about beef tongue back then, but now it has become a popular dish. It has been a while since my last visit. Today I am in Shinjuku, Tokyo. I ordered the "Beef Tongue, Grated Yam, Barley Rice, Negishi" lunch set for 1000 yen. I intended to enjoy beef tongue after a long time, but I couldn't resist the Triple Lunch Set which includes beef loin, pork loin, and spicy pork. It comes with barley rice, grated yam, tail soup, and pickles, all for a reasonable price. The meat is flavorful and each type offers a different taste, making it enjoyable to eat. They all have distinct characteristics and are delicious. You can enjoy the free rice refill, so I indulged in the meat for the first bowl and then enjoyed the grated yam for the second bowl. Perfect! It has been a while since I had barley rice and it's great! It's delicious! I eagerly scooped up the rice, finishing off with the flavorful tail soup. This tail soup hasn't changed, it's still great! After this revisit to "Negishi," I once again recognized its deliciousness, service, and cost performance.

There are quite a lot of Negishi restaurants around Shinjuku Station. I went to this Negishi restaurant and tried the Ganko-chan... beef tongue. It was a bit overcooked on the surface, but had a good chewy texture. The seasoning was just right on its own and also went well with rice. The rice was barley rice, a bit on the softer side, but it paired nicely with the beef tongue. The service was quick, the atmosphere was decent, but the quality of customers may not be the best.

I had a late lunch on January 27th (Wednesday) and it wasn't crowded. I ordered the Triple Mix Set Meal for 1,000 yen including tax, which included beef kalbi, pork loin, and spicy grilled pork, along with rice, pickles, and soup. The interior of the restaurant was clean and spacious, with a relaxing counter seating. Both the beef and pork were tender, and the spicy grilled pork went well with the rice. You can get a free extra serving of rice. It was very delicious.

I had some errands to run in Nishi-Shinjuku, so I went out into the city. It's a town with office buildings lined up. People are usually stored inside the buildings, so the streets are quiet. That's why it's somewhat strange that it doesn't look much different during this time. As I walked towards the station, near Yodobashi Camera, I was nervous to see how few people were around. I thought about having lunch somewhere. Oh, how about some beef tongue at Negishi... I thought, but when I went to my usual restaurant, it was closed. I heard that another nearby restaurant was open. It was on the second floor of a mixed-use building where several dining establishments were located. Although I had been to this restaurant a few times, I was surprised when I entered. It had been completely renovated and looked very clean. Perhaps it had just been renovated and then this situation happened... if that's the case, it must have been quite difficult. Hang in there. The menu had been narrowed down. The affordable lunch menu was not available. The "tonteki" pork dish that had been introduced as a killer lunch menu item in recent years was also not available, leaving only beef tongue on the menu. It felt like Negishi had traveled back to its roots from a long time ago, probably due to the efficient and effective way of working at that time. Interesting. Since I was already there, I decided to order a slightly luxurious set. It came with a thick slice of white tongue, a half-size of thinly sliced red tongue, barley rice, grated yam with tail soup, and pickles to complete the meal. As I waited for a while, the meal was served, and I couldn't help but feel that this kind of "typical dining out" meal had been a while. Negishi's grated yam was smooth, mixed with dashi broth. In the past, we used to drop a quail egg onto grated yam, and season it with soy sauce as we ate. Since I'm not a fan of raw eggs, I always asked for it without the quail egg. The staff called the quail egg "udama," and I enjoyed the familiar feeling. Nostalgic. The pickled greens were served with Nanban miso. The grilled green chili pepper was chopped and marinated in miso sauce, complementing the Sendai beef tongue well. The crispy spiciness enhanced the sweetness of the beef tongue fat. The tail soup was generously seasoned with pepper. The tender tail meat that crumbled in the mouth, the crunchy texture of the leeks, and the flavorful aroma were delightful. The thickly sliced white tongue had a rough texture but was smooth and melting in the mouth. The moment you chewed, the meat juice spread throughout your mouth, and the melting sensation was truly luxurious. The thinly sliced red tongue had a savory flavor from the grilled fat, and the saltiness enhanced the taste of the rice. The barley rice was refreshing, helping to cleanse the palate from the strong flavors. The rolling sensation of the barley was enjoyable, and I always wonder who decided that beef tongue should be served with barley rice... Each time I eat, I am impressed. The restaurant was quiet, with almost only one customer coming in. I worry about the post-coronavirus period, thinking that the lunchtime tradition of going out with colleagues from work has completely disappeared. It's worrisome.

I stopped by for lunch on my way back from the Shinjuku Metropolitan Government Building area. It's a popular spot in a competitive area with mostly food and drink establishments, and it was almost full during lunchtime. I ordered the set meal with beef tongue and a type of beef short rib called "Blackie" that day. Both were cooked well and had a delicious aroma, making the barley rice very appetizing. Oh, and at Negishi, you can also get extra servings of barley rice, so you can eat to your heart's content, which is nice. The grated yam was also carefully prepared and had a good flavor. Despite looking busy, Negishi also provides attentive service, which adds to its charm.

Negishi was quite a long time since I last visited. This was mainly because I had the impression that the prices were quite high. I thought the business lunch would cost around 1500 to 1700 yen, so I stayed away. However, when I looked at the menu, I saw they also had options around 1000 yen, so I ordered the Triple Set (1000 yen)! The tender meat had a delicious charcoal flavor. It came with grated yam, barley rice, and soup, all for just 1000 yen, which is a great deal. The barley rice was also refillable, so I ended up having seconds. I was very full... It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!!!

I came alone to have dinner on a regular night. The taste is the reliable quality of Negishi, and it's really wonderful to be so satisfied at this price. The set that can be eaten for 1000 yen is especially appreciated. I actually want to eat shirotan (beef tongue), but since it's expensive, I always have this set, and if I get a rice refill, I am satisfied both in my stomach and heart, so it's very helpful as a dinner option. The clientele is typical of Shinjuku, with many young customers. The lively atmosphere may have influenced the chit-chat among the staff, which was a little distracting. It's unrelated, but the guy who seemed to be a part-timer was very cute. When walking around Shinjuku West Exit, you'll notice Negishi restaurants everywhere. Since I'm here, maybe I should try to visit all of them.
