■Ginza Ushinoki Tokyo: A Hidden Gem Where You Can Enjoy Miyazaki Beef Sukiyaki and Shabu-Shabu
Address: 7-10-8 Ginza, Chuo City, Tokyo, 4th Floor, 5th Taiyo Building

Today, I had some errands to run in Ginza and a bit of hunger, so I decided to enjoy some sukiyaki for dinner. My favorite sukiyaki spots in Ginza are "Yoshizawa" and "Gyuan," but I had heard good things about this place, so I decided to give it a try.
The restaurant has all sliding doors that fully separate the space, giving it a casual izakaya atmosphere. However, from the entrance to after my meal, I didn't see anyone else. I could hear voices from somewhere, but I didn't see any faces, which might be a plus considering Ginza's clientele, which includes industry people, clients, and nightlife.
Since I wasn't too hungry, I opted for the bamboo course priced at ¥9,800 per person. It started with small dishes: a crab and fish roe salad and a steamed egg pudding with beef simmered in soy sauce. The crab was surprisingly delightful, even in summer, highlighting the quality ingredients used here.
Next, I enjoyed some sashimi, specifically flounder. Its freshness was exceptional, and its sweetness amazed me; I had never tasted such delicious flounder before! It was like seeing the world more vividly, similar to the sensation after drinking Red Bull.
Following that, I had a piece of black wagyu beef sushi, which was wonderfully marbled and perfectly seared, making it incredibly delicious.
Then came the main event: Miyazaki beef sukiyaki. The beef was beautifully marbled, showcasing the signature strong red meat characteristic of Miyazaki beef. This type of meat pairs wonderfully with the rich flavor profile of sukiyaki. The tender texture and bounciness of the beef, along with a generous portion of about 200g, left me feeling quite satisfied.
The drink selection was extensive, including whiskey, beer, shochu, and sake, so I was well taken care of. I was surprised that I could enjoy a drink package along with the Miyazaki beef for under ¥10,000; the cost performance was excellent.
The service was very courteous, and it was a relaxing place to dine. #Food #FoodDiary #Gourmet #GourmetLovers #Foodies #Ginza #Tokyo #Sukiyaki #ShabuShabu #Michelin #DeliciousFood
