Matsuo Jingisukan in Shinjuku Sanchome is located right near the intersection of 3-chome. I visited with three colleagues from a company in Takikawa, after learning that Matsuo Jingisukan originated there. We made a reservation and found that there were few customers, perhaps because it was a Monday. They offer both lamb and mutton, with lamb being the meat of sheep under 1 year old and mutton being over 1 year old. Lamb is softer while mutton has more chew. Personally, I prefer the tender lamb. Among us, two preferred lamb and two preferred mutton. The taste was good and the atmosphere was nice, but we wished there was more meat. Our Takikawa friends mentioned that Hokkaido restaurants offer more meat for the same price. Nonetheless, it's still great to enjoy delicious meat in Shinjuku, even if the portions are smaller. Thank you for the meal.

When I arrived on Friday night, it seemed that reservations were required for the 5500 yen course, which included 3 types of meat, vegetables, udon, rice, almond jelly, and all-you-can-drink. The service was relatively quick and appreciated. The lamb was tender and the mutton had a unique wild taste that I enjoyed. I got carried away and ordered extra rice, but ended up with a really full stomach. It was a fun experience!

Genghis Khan had delicious lamb and mutton, and Sapporo Classic beer was also tasty, so it was very good. Considering how good it tasted, the cost performance was quite good. The semi-private seating was comfortable and spacious. The vegetables were also delicious, so I would like to come back again.

The interior of the restaurant was clean and had a luxurious feel that didn't seem like Genghis Khan (Mongolian BBQ). I wish there had been more explanation on how to grill the meat. I didn't know the right heat level and ended up with the sauce getting too thick and the flavor becoming too strong. Why did I start with the highest heat setting... The meat slices were small and difficult to grill and eat. Is this what Genghis Khan is supposed to be like? Maybe I could have enjoyed it more if I got used to it, but it's quite pricey so that's tough too.

This is a restaurant I wanted to try in Shinjuku. As the year-end approached, I went up to the 5th floor of a building across from Isetan Shinjuku store and found 4 people waiting outside 5 minutes before opening. I was a bit surprised but joined the line. The restaurant had a clean interior. I ordered the orthodox mutton lunch set for 1400 yen with a draft beer, while my companion ordered the premium lamb and egg lunch set for 1380 yen. Both sets came with a soft drink bar and soup. First, a hot plate with sauce and vegetables arrived, followed by our meat. We cooked them on the hot plate and enjoyed them with the soy-based sauce. The food was delicious and the rice went down well. However, my companion found the lamb to have a unique smell and taste that they didn't enjoy. Well, everyone has their own preferences. I also enjoyed the Hokkaido potato shochu, making it a satisfying lunch.

Today's lunch was a visit to the Shinjuku Sanchome branch of the famous Hokkaido specialty restaurant, Matsumoto Jingisukan. While I thought about trying the 3 kinds of meat comparison, I ended up ordering the Special Lamb Lunch Set (1,800 yen) with 150g of meat. The meat was tender and flavorful, really delicious. The vegetables were also cooked well and flavorful! The combination with rice was great, and I felt like I could have eaten more even with the large portion. Towards the end, the parts that were grilled got quite burnt, so adding more vegetables to prevent burning might be a good idea. Matsumoto Jingisukan is really good after all! It was delicious!

I have an image that there are many branches, and I like the stylish and cozy atmosphere of all the stores. This was my first visit to the branch in Shinjuku Sanchome. I called just before visiting and was able to enter. They offer all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink courses, but this time I chose the drink-only all-you-can-drink option with a meal set. The meal started with a salad, grilled shrimp, and then the main dish of lamb and premium lamb. I left the vegetables for a while. The premium lamb was tender and had a meaty texture, but I personally preferred the regular lamb. The rice went well with the sauce. Lastly, there was udon for a finishing touch. I ate it with the vegetables, and rice definitely goes well with Genghis Khan. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The special lamb Jingisukan for 2280 yen, lamb rib loin Jingisukan (limited quantity) for 2980 yen, bone-in lamb steak, sausage udon, three kinds of condiments set, ramen salad, and Matsuzin for the first time in about 10 years! I've been to Matsuzin in Sapporo before, but it was my first time in Tokyo, and it brought back memories! However, I was surprised because the impression had changed a lot. The special lamb and lamb rib loin had good meat on the top visible part, but most of the meat underneath looked like scraps, with very little quantity and didn't seem to have good quality, so I felt that it was expensive for almost 3000 yen per plate. Generally, Jingisukan is reasonably priced anywhere, so I was surprised. I didn't have this impression of Matsuzin before, so it was surprising! I recently bought frozen Matsuzin lamb at the supermarket, and the meat was properly sized and tasted good, so it's a mystery. At that time, there were hardly any customers, and it was empty. It was good that there were various Hokkaido-specific menu items, and the interior of the restaurant was very clean.

Shinjuku Sanchome, a building that is not directly connected but almost directly connected. There are several dining options inside, and I went to Matsuo Genghis Khan on the 5th floor. I have visited Matsuo Genghis Khan once for lunch. Other than Matsuo Genghis Khan, I have not been to any other shops in this building. On a Saturday night, about 30% of the seats were filled (the photo was taken when leaving, so it looks like no one is there). The place is quite spacious with ample seating. After being rejected by about five yakiniku restaurants, we decided to go to Genghis Khan instead. There are four course menus ranging from 5,500 yen to 11,000 yen, all of which come with all-you-can-drink. For those who find the set courses a bit too much, there is also an all-you-can-eat and drink option available, ranging from 6,500 yen to 9,500 yen in four tiers. Of course, there is also an a la carte menu, which I have listed at the bottom. This time, I decided to go for the highest tier of all-you-can-eat and drink at 9,500 yen per person, even though we had steak bowls for lunch and all of us are in our 40s. Orders are placed using a panel. Whether it was because it was not busy or because the operation was perfect, everything was served in no time after ordering. The beer for the all-you-can-drink option is Sapporo Black Label, but if you choose a course of 8,200 yen or more, you can also choose Classic cans. However, for some reason, drinking canned beer at a restaurant, not draft beer or bottled beer, makes you feel like you're missing out. I felt like I would have been better off drinking at home. Therefore, I switched to draft beer after the second drink. Too much beer can interfere with the all-you-can-eat experience (there used to be no problem with this), so I switched to red wine halfway through. Now, onto the food. First, raw eggs and cabbage-like appetizers are served. I must have asked for the raw eggs to be refilled about three times in total. It's a very important item. There are also vegetables to accompany the Genghis Khan. Although it's all-you-can-eat, at first, 500g of each type of meat is served. There's a trap here. If you don't overcome this, the real all-you-can-eat won't start. 2.5kg for five people. If I had known, I might not have chosen this course haha. It's a technique used in places like Hinazushi. In a positive light, you get to enjoy all the varieties at the beginning. Let the all-you-can-eat begin! First, you grill the vegetables, mostly bean sprouts. Then, you grill the meat at the peak. It's the Genghis Khan style to let the fat drip and soak into the vegetables. Conceptually, it's similar to Samgyeopsal. At the beginning, the staff will grill the meat for you, so even if you're not sure, you can feel at ease. There's also wasabi provided for flavor variation. It's refreshing and crisp, so using it occasionally is good. There are five types of lamb meat. I have arranged them in order of price. Although there is no price for each individual item as it is all-you-can-eat, the price listed is for one serving on the menu. Here are some brief thoughts on each. ■ Lamb heart Genghis Khan (single serving 1,280 yen) Heart. It's the only organ meat. It's delicious, but it has the unique taste of organ meat. I thought I didn't need to eat it, but it's delicious. ■ Mutton Genghis Khan (1,680 yen per person) It has a moderate lamb flavor, but no odor (but it does have a lamb flavor). It's thick, and I thought it might be a bit tough because it's mutton, but the meat was tender. ■ Lamb Genghis Khan (1,980 yen per person) It has more chewiness than mutton. It's not tough, but it has a good elasticity. Considering cost performance, I think lamb is the best. ■ Premium Lamb Genghis Khan (2,280 yen per person) Compared to mutton and lamb, it has even less unique flavor. Even those who are not good with lamb might be able to eat it. Maybe. On the other hand, because it lacks the lamb flavor, some people may find it unsatisfying. ■ Lamb rib roast Genghis Khan (2,980 yen per person) As the price goes up, the lamb flavor decreases, so I thought it might be the same here, but it suddenly had a strong lamb flavor. It also has a fair amount of fat. It may be a love-it-or-hate-it situation, as it has a punchy Genghis Khan flavor and a rich fatty taste that some people may love. Each of the five has a different expression, which is enjoyable, but to be honest, you may not be able to tell the difference after a while. So, there may not be a need to go for the most expensive all-you-can-eat option.

Matsuo Jingisukan is a restaurant that is commonly seen throughout Hokkaido, but the number of locations in Tokyo is limited. Many people may not be fond of Jingisukan, but since this is a Hokkaido restaurant, you can feel at ease. I had it for lunch, and the finishing touch was, of course, "udon." Thank you for the meal.

I made a reservation for the evening and arrived at the restaurant. Since it was a weekday, I was the first to enter. Please note that the elevator opens directly into the restaurant. When you order meat, vegetables come with it. I ordered lamb, including lamb chops with sauce. They cook the vegetables on a hot plate with broth soup. I tried it with a condiment called "snow wasabi," which tasted like regular wasabi with a softer texture. The meat pieces were small, so it might not be enough for those who want a hearty meal. It was delicious and a nice change of pace.

On a day when snow was falling, I headed to Shinjuku Sanchome for a certain errand and stopped by Matsuo Genghis Khan for a meal beforehand. It was my first time trying Genghis Khan alone. I took the elevator next to the Peach John store up to the 5th floor. The interior of the restaurant had a sophisticated atmosphere, different from the Hokkaido branches, more suitable for an adult date. I sat at a table for one and ordered the La Mutton lunch (150g) for 1,320 yen including tax. Soft drinks were complimentary, so I had corn tea and iced coffee. The food came out quickly. The staff first arranged the vegetables in a circle and then I started grilling the La Mutton right away. The tender red meat marinated in the original fruity sauce was delicious. It had been a while since I had seconds of rice. The vegetables seemed more stewed than stir-fried. Thank you for the meal. I paid with my card gracefully. I took the elevator back down to the ground floor and headed towards Marui.

There are about 3 different courses available for all-you-can-eat and drink, with the cheapest being a 6,000 yen course. The differences include the choice of meat and whether Sapporo Classic beer is included. I personally think the taste of the meat is unmatched even compared to Genghis Khan restaurants in Tokyo. I prefer the Matsuo style of Genghis Khan where you eat in a casual and diverse manner, like how it is enjoyed in Hokkaido households, rather than the more refined style of grilling each piece individually.

I wanted to have a delicious and leisurely lunch during the day, so I had Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue) in Shinjuku! They serve lunch until 3 pm, so I was able to enjoy my meal without worrying about the seating time. The restaurant is located near Shinjuku Sanchome station. When you take the elevator up, the entire floor is the restaurant. The seats are spacious and well-spaced from each other. I visited without a reservation and ordered the mutton lunch set this time. If you want to take your time, I recommend ordering the lunch set so you can relax until the last order. For those who want to eat a lot, the all-you-can-eat option is more cost-effective. The lunch set comes with free extra rice and unlimited soft drinks, which was nice. I wanted to eat a lot of meat, so I asked for the meat to be served in a large portion. It came with grilled vegetables and soup. The lamb meat had a good texture, no odor, and was very delicious! It's no wonder it's a famous restaurant. The lamb meat in my friend's lunch set was tender and had a completely different texture. I thought the comparison set would be interesting to try. Since I still had room in my stomach, I ordered an additional vegetable set and lamb before the end of lunchtime. I won't comment on the service as they seemed busy. Thank you for the meal!

I was thinking of having some meat for lunch, but I wasn't in the mood for beef, pork, or chicken. Just as I was pondering what to do, I saw a sign for "Matsuo Jingisukan" catch my eye. It's located on the 5th floor of a building at the intersection of Shinjuku Sanchome. The restaurant was empty except for me. I ordered the meat sampler set for 2090 yen, which includes 75g each of mutton, lamb, and premium lamb. It also comes with rice, soup, snow wasabi, egg, and all-you-can-drink beverages. It had been years since I last had Jingisukan. It's a shame I couldn't have beer, but watching the meat sizzle in the convex pot was delightful. The meat was delicious and not gamey. It was even better with the snow wasabi. I ordered an extra serving of lamb for 660 yen, and it disappeared quickly. It was a bit of a luxurious lunch, but I was completely satisfied. I can't go to Sapporo often, but I felt like I had (a little) by dining here. Thank you for the meal.

This is Genghis Khan marinated in sauce. It has a strong lamb flavor with no unpleasant smell, and the seasoning is rich. It may not be my favorite type of Genghis Khan, but I found it delicious in its own way.

I was in the mood for lamb before watching a movie, so I decided to check out this restaurant. Even though it was a weekday afternoon, there was only one other group of customers. I ordered the lamb lunch set and dessert. They first placed vegetables like bean sprouts on the edge of a pot, poured sauce over them, and then quickly cooked the meat on both sides. The meat was already seasoned, so you could eat it as it is. The lamb flavor and the sauce were both delicious. However, the meat cooked quickly while the vegetables took longer, making it difficult to balance the two. They had a drink bar for unlimited refills. The dessert was probably milk pudding, but it lacked fragrance for almond tofu. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch.

I went for lunch in Shinjuku after a long time, but the place I wanted to go to was closed for 2 consecutive days. Fortunately, there was a notice of closure on the internet beforehand, so I didn't go. It's located on the 5th floor of the second building from the Shinjuku Sanchome intersection, with two elevators that can be used to access it. The lunch menu is displayed on the first floor. I arrived around 12:45 and it was my first visit. The interior of the restaurant was bright and clean. The staff welcomed me with a lovely smile. The place reminded me of an old Genghis Khan restaurant I visited in Hokkaido a long time ago. I ordered the lamb set meal, normal size, with dessert. The set included a drink bar with various options like Calpis, orange juice, grape juice, iced oolong tea, hot corn tea, and hot coffee. I chose iced oolong tea, grape juice, and corn tea. The corn tea had a nice aroma and taste, while the grape juice was sweet and flavorful. Later, the set was served. The vegetables were prepared by the staff and placed in the Genghis Khan pot, followed by the lamb meat. The rice and egg soup were served with the meal. The rice was warm and had a good texture, although it seemed slightly less than the portion I expected. The lamb meat was tender and had a good flavor. The vegetables included bell peppers, onions, carrots, and pumpkins, but they seemed a bit dry and difficult to cook properly. The meal was satisfying, but I felt that adding some side dishes or salad would have enhanced the experience. The almond jelly dessert was a bit firm and had a higher milk content than expected. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, especially the lamb meat, but felt that opting for a larger portion and adding extra vegetables would have been better for me. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere and was clean, which I appreciated.

I had a lamb barbecue lunch at Matsuo Genghis Khan in Shinjuku Sanchome. It had been a while since I last visited, and I was pleased to find out that they offer lunch even on weekends and holidays. The spacious interior allows for a relaxing dining experience. The lunch set includes 150 grams of meat, vegetables, and a drink bar, making it a satisfying meal.

As a native of Sapporo, I have great trust in Matsuo Jingisukan. I was looking forward to visiting after the state of emergency was lifted. Around noon on the weekend, about half of the seats were taken. Normally, they offer a lunch set with a salad buffet, but due to the effects of the coronavirus, the buffet was closed (although there was a drink buffet available) and the prices were more affordable than usual. We ordered the mutton lunch set and the premium lamb lunch set, without rice. As soon as our drinks were ready, the meat and vegetables were brought to us. The staff kindly offered to cook it for us, making it easy for first-timers to enjoy Jingisukan. Here are my thoughts on how we cooked and ate the meat. The mutton has a strong unique flavor of sheep meat compared to lamb, so preferences may vary, but I personally prefer mutton over lamb. The mutton at Matsuo Jingisukan is easy to eat even for those not used to it. The meat has a firm texture, with fat that melts in your mouth, spreading a delicious taste. The premium lamb is moist and tender, with less fat, allowing you to directly taste the flavor of the lamb meat. Each cut is large and satisfying to eat. I wanted to compare, so I ordered regular lamb meat as well. Indeed, the premium lamb was more moist and tender, but the regular lamb had some fat which made it very delicious. The grilled vegetables included bean sprouts, bell peppers, carrots, pumpkin, and onions. Grilled vegetables with the flavor of the lamb fat are incredibly delicious. The soup in the set, with seaweed, was comforting and tasty. Having mouthwash available in the restroom was also a nice touch. Truly Matsuo Jingisukan! It was a very satisfying and delicious lunch, great value for money. Thank you for the meal!

I learned about Genghis Khan at the Hokkaido Festival in Yoyogi. I ordered the large special lamb lunch set for 1800 yen plus tax. You can also use the buffet, but the variety of dishes is not that great. The drink menu includes Calpis, which was delicious. The meat was light and 250g was not enough. When I had it at the festival, it seemed to have a stronger flavor. Sapporo Black Label is a good deal at 350 yen for a medium-sized glass on weekdays. Maybe because of the coronavirus or just a coincidence, there were fewer people in Shinjuku, so I was able to enjoy a leisurely and elegant lunchtime. It's a good place for a date even during lunchtime ❤️ They seemed reluctant to seat us in the back, but it was still a fun experience (laughs)
