Today, I had a meal at "Sumibi Robata to Niku Kinshamoji," which is about a 10-minute walk from Shibuya. The restaurant mainly features table seating, and there are also private rooms available. I visited for dinner previously and enjoyed it so much that I returned for lunch. I ordered the fresh sashimi set meal, which includes a five-piece sashimi platter along with rice, miso soup, and a small side dish. The sashimi consists of five types: tuna, mackerel, octopus, salmon, and sea bream, all cut into thick slices, which I really appreciated. The small dish paired perfectly with the rice and was delicious as well. The atmosphere during lunch was calm, making it a comfortable place to relax and enjoy my meal, suitable even for dining alone.

I had robatayaki in Shibuya, and the first appetizer was chicken liver, which was incredibly creamy and just delicious! The shirasu with cucumber had a refreshing seasoning, and the texture of the cucumber was simply genius! The drunk shrimp were amazing, soaked in sauce, and even my fingers tasted good from it, haha! The salmon and salmon roe sashimi were so rich, and the pop of the roe perfectly matched the fish. I love slathering on a bit more wasabi for that nice kick! The pumpkin and mascarpone dish had sweet pumpkin with moist butter and honey, surprisingly pairing well with drinks! I wanted to eat more of that! The grilled pork belly was thick and tender, and I loved adding a bit of wasabi to it. The crispy French fries were irresistible; I just couldn't stop eating them! The perfect balance of crunch and saltiness was fantastic. The charcoal-grilled mackerel was cut into large pieces, with a lovely smoky aroma that really whetted the appetite. The fish was flaky and juicy—what a feast! By the way, fish has been exceptionally delicious lately! For dessert, we had grilled mentaiko rice balls, which were crispy on the outside while keeping a delightful pop inside, with perilla leaves adding a nice touch. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

【Visit Time】Around 9:30 PM【Closest Station】8-minute walk from Shibuya Station【Reservation】None【Waiting Time】None【Ordered Menu】- Large Shrimp - Grilled Scallops with Butter - Sakura Shrimp Clay Pot Rice - Grilled Salmon Collar with Saikyo Miso - Kuri Kabocha with Mascarpone and Honey Butter - Drunken Shrimp - Shirasu (whitebait), Ginger, Cucumber - Potato Salad with Soft-Smoked Boiled Egg - Roasted Beef with Egg Yolk Soy Sauce and Truffle Oil - Deep-Fried Camembert Cheese - Grilled Turnip【Personal Impression】This was a return visit. I focused on ordering items I hadn't tried last time. Everything was delicious, but the Grilled Salmon Collar with Saikyo Miso was exceptional! The interior and dishes were also beautiful and impressive, which explains the restaurant's popularity!

I enjoyed the Sumisai course, which includes a standard all-you-can-drink plan for 7,000 yen! We started with delicious snacks perfect for pairing with drinks, such as umeshu crystal (pickled plum) and smoked wasabi on top of whelk, along with a rich soft-boiled egg combined with potato salad that matched perfectly. The fresh and juicy sashimi featured two types: medium-fat tuna and sea bream. Next, we had grilled broccoli with Parmigiano cheese, generously sprinkled right in front of us. Its simplicity allowed the flavors of the ingredients to shine, and the creamy richness of the cheese was exquisite. The lamb chop, grilled over charcoal to lock in its flavors, was packed with sweet, rich fat that had no greasiness, creating a refined taste with no off-putting smells—just pure deliciousness. We also tried the grilled fish, which was cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior and tender interior, allowing us to enjoy even the small bones. For the final dish, the mini seafood and mountain bowl offered two types: a salmon and roe donburi and a roast beef donburi. This place not only excels in charcoal grilling but also serves incredibly fresh and delectable seafood! The portion of rice was just right, and I didn’t feel overly stuffed, which is often the case with rice-based dishes; here, I could enjoy the meal smoothly. The pickled vegetables had just the right salty flavor, and the dessert ice cream was rich and indulgent! The lineup from start to finish was nothing short of delicious and satisfying, and the all-you-can-drink menu was quite impressive, adding to the overall luxurious feel of the experience. Located near Shibuya's Mega Don Quijote, this izakaya offers authentic robatayaki in a stylish, modern Japanese atmosphere. I enjoyed sitting at the counter this time, but there are also spacious table seats and semi-private booths, making it a great place for solo diners, gatherings, dates, or business meetings.

【Visit Time】Around 12:15 AM 【Nearest Station】5-minute walk from Shibuya Station 【Reservation】Yes 【Waiting Time】None 【Ordered Menu】- Grilled Tomatoes with Melted Cheese - Sliced Fresh Bluefin Tuna - Boiled Shirasu with Salmon Roe and Grated Daikon - Dried Squid with Liver 【Personal Impression】I went there aiming for the clay pot rice, but it was all sold out... I hope to visit again when I get the chance.

A week ago, I made a reservation and visited the restaurant on Friday night with three friends. The interior isn't very large, but it's clean and well-kept. There are counter seats, table seats, and a small private room. Dishes I want to reorder: - Grilled Eringi Mushrooms ★★★: They were grilled to perfection and served with curry salt, black sesame, and seaweed. They were so delicious that I ordered them again on the spot (laughs). - Whole Grilled Onion ★: The whole onion was grilled, drizzled with olive oil, and it had a wonderful sweetness! - Fried Fava Beans ★: They were crispy and very tasty—perfect as a snack! All the dishes were carefully prepared and enjoyed very much. ~ Drinks ~ - Earl Grey Lemon Sour ★★ - Sudachi Sour ★ - Matcha Sour: The flavor was a bit weak (laughs).

I thoroughly enjoyed the "Sumisai Course," which allowed me to savor the rich aroma of charcoal grilling and carefully selected ingredients! It included a standard all-you-can-drink option and featured a luxurious lineup of 9 dishes. The meal began with three appetizers: "Potato Salad," "Wasabi-Seasoned Whelk," and "Ume Suishou" (plum crystal). The potato salad paired perfectly with a smoky half-cooked egg, creating an exquisite balance between the creamy potatoes and rich egg. The wasabi-seasoned whelk had a delightful crunch, and the refreshing taste of wasabi made it easy to keep eating. The ume suishou offered a light and refreshing flavor, making it a fitting start! Next were two types of sashimi: sea bream and fatty tuna. Both were incredibly fresh, with the sea bream being mild yet flavorful, while the tuna had a remarkable sweetness that melted in your mouth. I truly enjoyed the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves! The charcoal-grilled broccoli, topped generously with Parmigiano cheese, was a simple yet flavorful dish. The broccoli was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the rich cheese enhancing the natural sweetness of the vegetable. Charcoal-grilled broccoli is simply delicious! Then, I had the grilled "Fatty Sardine." It was rich in fat and had a tender texture that gently fell apart in my mouth. The smoky flavor from the grilling complemented the fish's umami perfectly, creating pure bliss with every bite! The lamb chops were also incredibly tasty! Grilled slowly over an open flame, the lamb chops were aromatic and juicy. The sweet flavor of the fat was delightful, and with the addition of a shiso sauce, the aftertaste was refreshingly light. The balance of richness and freshness was outstanding, making it a must-have for lamb lovers. To finish, I enjoyed a mini bowl featuring salmon, salmon roe, and roast beef, called "Umikazeyamakaze Mini Don." This luxurious dish allowed me to enjoy two types of toppings at once: the melting fat of the salmon paired with the pop of the salmon roe, alongside the juicy roast beef, all complementing each other beautifully for a satisfying experience with every bite. I capped off the meal with ice cream, and it was a delightful way to end. Despite being in Shibuya, the restaurant had a calm atmosphere without the usual hustle and bustle, allowing for a wonderful dining experience. I look forward to visiting again the next time I'm in Shibuya! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I enjoyed a course with an all-you-can-drink option at Kin-shamoji, located in the basement of Shibuya VIRON. The Sumisai course, which includes original charcoal grilling, was priced at 5000 yen (tax included), making the total 7000 yen (tax included) with drinks. ◆ Appetizers: Two types of rare delicacies, with the plum crystal being refreshing. ◆ Potato Salad: The smoked flavor pairs excellently with the creamy soft-boiled egg. ◆ Seafood Platter: Two types of seafood, tuna and sea bream, both surprisingly delicious. ◆ Charcoal-Grilled Lamb Chop: Very tender with no strong odors. ◆ Charcoal-Grilled Broccoli: Served with plenty of Parmesan cheese grated right in front of you. ◆ Seasonal Pickles: This time, it was yuzu-flavored pickled cabbage. ◆ Today’s Original Grilling: The sardines were exceptionally tasty; I even ate the heads! ◆ Sea and Mountain Mini Bowl: A mini serving of roast beef and salmon roe over rice. ◆ Seasonal Ice Cream: Included chestnut-flavored ice cream. Every dish was of a very high standard, and I was extremely satisfied. The drinks menu also had a lot of unique options that left a strong impression. I noticed that the à la carte menu looked great too, so I’d like to try some of those in the future. Even though it was a weekday, the place was fully booked, so reservations are a must.

I went out to dinner with a friend who works in the area after not seeing them for about six months. I didn’t realize the restaurant had just opened in August, but it was beautiful and the food was overall delicious. The dishes I really want to order again are the salmon and ikura (salmon roe) clay pot rice and the eringi mushrooms. We didn’t drink wine since my friend doesn’t like it, but next time, I might consider having some wine.

Sashimi Set Meal (5 kinds) 1800 yen I visited this restaurant, which opened this summer, to enjoy their Japanese lunch featuring grilled meat and robatayaki. The interior exudes warmth from the wood and offers a relaxing atmosphere. The sashimi paired with the subtly sweet, beautifully textured rice has a thick and plump texture, making it perfect for sharing, though you might want to keep it all to yourself. The octopus, with its firm texture, bursts with rich flavor with every bite—it's so addictively delicious that I wanted to order about ten more pieces. The Hokke fish is so large it spills over, beautifully oily, and packed with flavor—it melts in your mouth. The grilled fish here is exceptional. The small side dishes of kelp, salted fish, and pickled shiso make it so delicious that I found myself devouring the rice. The aosa seaweed miso soup has a rich dashi flavor and a gentle taste, which I absolutely loved. Kin Shamoji offers not only excellent fish but also incredibly tasty meat, so make sure to visit for a delicious Japanese lunch! ❄️ #KinShamoji #ShibuyaLunch #TokyoLunch #ShibuyaGourmet #TokyoGourmet

Despite it being a weekday, everywhere was crowded, so I visited this place since I could get in right away. It's located underground, but the interior was clean and tidy. The food and drinks were delicious; however, it took a long time for them to be served, so be careful if you're short on time. Overall, the prices were a bit high. The appetizer was some kind of cheese dish, which was quite strong in flavor, making it unfortunate for those who dislike cheese. My personal ratings are as follows: out of 5 stars - Taste: 4, Cost Performance: 2, Atmosphere: 3, Would I want to go again: 2.5.

Recently, I visited 【Sumibi Robata to Niku Kinasamoji】 in Shinsen, Shibuya! This place has a great sense of luxury and style!

It's about a 7-minute walk from Shibuya. I made my first visit to "Kinshamoji," a restaurant specializing in authentic robatayaki on Bunkamura Street in Shibuya! Since it just opened, the place is incredibly beautiful! The traditional Japanese atmosphere is stylish and wonderful. I'm looking forward to enjoying the dishes in a calm, semi-private setting! This time I ordered the "Hibiki Course," which includes a standard all-you-can-drink option. There are many drink options available and a variety of soft drinks! My favorite was the sweet matcha from Nishio; despite being matcha, it's sweet and delicious—so much so that I ended up drinking two cups! We started with a selection of delicacies: chanja (fermented pollock), plum crystal, and wasabi with coquina clams—the presentation was lovely and the food was delicious! Next was a sashimi platter with five varieties: bluefin tuna, snapper, octopus, salmon, and mackerel. The sashimi was very fresh and tasty! The mountain vegetable salad came topped with cheese—so delightful! The grilled scallops with butter were definitely a hit! The beef harami steak came with three types of seasoning: salt, basil, and grated ponzu sauce, allowing us to enjoy a variety of flavors; the presentation was super cute! The harami was incredibly tender and fantastic! For the mushrooms, we had eringi topped with cheese; the seasonal vegetables change, but this time it was eringi. The charred bits looked scrumptious! The staff drizzled the cheese on top, and it was irresistibly gooey! The primitive-style grilled hoki was thick and smoky, and it smelled fantastic being grilled over charcoal! The clay pot rice was made with smoked pork belly, and it truly whetted my appetite! Despite the gentle flavor, it was really tasty! For dessert, we had seasonal cream dorayaki, which featured a large chestnut and red bean paste—perfect for a delighted squeal from any girl! Every dish was delicious, and the dishware was simply lovely! This place is perfect for a date too!

I went to a place that’s casual and allows you to relax, which has been getting a lot of attention lately. I chose a lighter course. Since we were chatting while enjoying our meal, the portions were just right. Above all, the presentation was beautiful. The staff were friendly, which made it easy to ask about the dishes and drinks. The pace at which the food was served was perfect, and I appreciated their attention to detail. Every dish – the appetizers, salad, sashimi, side dishes, meat, vegetables, fish, rice, and dessert – was beautifully presented, allowing us to enjoy the visual before savoring the flavors. The finishing touch, like the cheese added at the table, ensured everything was fresh, and each dish had its own unique taste that you can only experience here. Every menu item made me want to try them all, which adds to the excitement of each visit. The drinks also have a lot of thought put into them, making them very enjoyable to choose from. It’s a place I want to keep going back to.

If you're looking for a great lunch spot in Shibuya, I highly recommend "Kinjyamoshi" which specializes in charcoal-grilled fish and meat. ✳︎ I tried the "Bansuke Hokke Charcoal-Grilled Set Meal" for ¥1,700, and I was shocked by its enormous size when it arrived. The appearance was stunning, and the dish truly showcased the greatness of charcoal grilling; it was fluffy all the way through. The flesh was plump and fresh, highlighting its high quality. ✳︎ I also had the "Fresh Sashimi Set Meal (5 kinds)" for ¥1,800. As the name suggests, each of the five types was incredibly fresh. The thick cuts were generous, and the red meat was exceptionally delicious. ✳︎ There are plenty of other lunch options on the menu, making it a place I'd want to visit often. If you're looking for a luxurious lunch in Shibuya, Kinjyamoshi is the place to go!

Let's go to a place that values authenticity! I invited my friend to Shinsen in Shibuya! This beautiful restaurant just opened in August this year. The interior is adorned with lovely tableware, and there's a pleasant scent of wood in the air. We enjoyed the "Hibiki Course," which included: ☆ Three types of appetizers, including my favorite Ume Suichuu! ☆ A sashimi platter with five kinds of fish, all freshly delivered from the market and brilliantly colorful. ☆ Mountain vegetable salad, served with plenty of cheese at the table. ☆ Grilled scallops, char-grilled to perfection with a butter-soy sauce flavor that is delicious. ☆ Beef hanging tender steak, also grilled over charcoal, cooked perfectly, and the sauce was excellent. ☆ Seasonal vegetables with gooey melted cheese, featuring hearty king oyster mushrooms paired beautifully with the cheese. ☆ Today's grilled hokkai fish, char-grilled to a crisp outside while remaining fluffy inside. ☆ Today's clay pot rice, filled with meat and cheese; we had enough for two bowls! ☆ Seasonal cream dorayaki with sweet red bean paste, fresh cream, and a large chestnut. From the all-you-can-drink menu, we enjoyed beer, Tokushima yuzu sour, and tomato sour. The all-you-can-drink option combined with the course is just ¥8,000! The portions were just right to enjoy, and the beautiful Arita ceramics added to the experience. We had a wonderful time filled with lively conversation in a calm atmosphere. If you’re looking for a place in Shibuya that values authenticity, I highly recommend Kan Shamoji!

I visited "KinjyaMoji," an authentic robatayaki restaurant located on Bunka-Mura Street in Shibuya. It just opened, and the place is very clean. This time, I was seated in a semi-private room, which allowed me to enjoy my meal in a relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant has many semi-private rooms, which is great! The counter seats are also nice and have a good vibe, so they would be ideal for solo diners. I ordered the "Hibiki Course," which exceeded my expectations! It truly lived up to its promise of being "a step above the usual." I also added a standard drink plan that included a variety of non-alcoholic beverages, which was exciting! They had a lot of options I wanted to try. The "Sweet Matcha from Nishio" was delicious, just as the name suggests. The assorted delicacies included spicy cod roe, ume crystal, and wasabi sea snails. Each had a nice salty flavor that paired well with drinks. The sashimi platter consisted of five types: bluefin tuna, sea bream, octopus, salmon, and mackerel. They source their fish directly from the market, and the sashimi was delightful. The mountain vegetable salad surprised me with a cheese topping, which was a wonderful touch! It definitely added to the celebratory mood. The grilled butter scallops were beautifully served on their shells, just looking delicious. The grilled beef skirt steak came on a stunning plate, reminiscent of French cuisine, and the presentation was magnificent. It was great to enjoy it with three different flavors: salt, basil, and grated ponzu. The meat was tender, and I was very satisfied. The seasonal vegetables with melting cheese included eringi mushrooms. The fun part was that they poured the melting cheese right in front of me! The primitive grilled fish was hokke, which was absolutely fantastic grilled over charcoal. Both the meat and fish made for a delicious course. The meal concluded with a rice dish cooked in a donabe, featuring smoked pork belly. The donabe was surprisingly deep, holding plenty of rice. But it was so good that I finished it all! For dessert, I had a seasonal cream dorayaki, which contained chestnuts since it's autumn. Overall, the "Hibiki Course" included ten dishes, leaving me full and thoroughly satisfied. There are several course options available depending on the number of dishes, which is reassuring if you want something more moderate. All the course meals were delicious, and the tableware had a touch of elegance that surpassed my expectations. I believe this would be a great choice for dates or business meetings, and I'm sure the guests would appreciate it.

The "Charcoal Grill Robata and Meat Kan Shamoji" offers a luxurious "Suisai Course" featuring an impressive selection of nine dishes that showcase the allure of charcoal-grilled cooking. It begins with a two-item platter of specially selected appetizers, highlighting rich and flavorful delicacies that heighten your anticipation for the meal. Next, the potato salad is complemented by a soft, smoked boiled egg that provides a creamy texture, perfectly harmonizing with the aromatic smoked flavor of the homemade potato salad. The fresh sashimi trio is outstanding in freshness, while broccoli, enhanced by plenty of Parmigiano cheese, boasts a rich flavor profile despite its simple presentation. The day's seafood is grilled whole over charcoal, locking in its deliciousness in a remarkable dish. The main attraction, lamb chops, are grilled slowly, allowing the smoky char and the savory lamb flavor to shine through. After a refreshing palate cleanser of seasonal pickles, guests can savor a charming mini bowl featuring a delightful mix of seafood and meat, allowing for a bite-sized taste of luxurious ingredients. To conclude, a choice between seasonal ice cream or sorbet provides a delightful finish to the meal. This course is full of thoughtful touches that allow diners to fully enjoy the aroma of charcoal and the flavors of the cuisine, making it an excellent choice for a special dinner experience!

We decided to have a light drink in Shibuya and ended up at Kinshamoji. The location is on the B1 level across from the old Tokyu Department Store, next to the popular bakery VIRON. It’s about a 5-minute walk from the station. Despite being in the basement, the restaurant has an open and relaxed atmosphere that feels very comfortable. Even though it was a weekday, we were able to smoothly enter at 6 PM, making it quite a hidden gem for anyone looking for a place to drink. Since we were there, we opted for the HIBIKI course with a standard drink plan. ■ Assorted Delicacies We had a mix of scallop chanja, ume crystal, and wasabi-flavored turban shells. This selection was perfect to kick off our drinking time and brought us immense joy. ■ Assorted Sashimi Featuring bluefin tuna, sea bream, octopus, salmon, and bonito, this sashimi platter was a parade of popular choices. They claimed to use fresh fish directly from the market, and the freshness and richness were impressive. ■ Mountain Vegetable Salad This salad included mushrooms and a performance where they generously sprinkled Parmesan cheese right in front of us, which was sure to get everyone excited at a drinking party. With meat included, it greatly enhanced the satisfaction. ■ Grilled Scallops with Butter I don't think anyone who eats seafood could dislike this dish. It came as a delightful surprise! ■ Beef Harami Steak with Pepper Sauce The unique flavor of harami wasn’t too strong, and the steak was tender and juicy. It was quite surprising to have something so good in an izakaya. ■ Seasonal Vegetables with Melted Cheese They brought the char-grilled king oyster mushrooms to our table and drizzled warm, gooey cheese on top. Since the cheese tends to harden over time, this performance was much appreciated. ■ Today's Ancient Grilled Dish The grilled hokke was fragrant, and the skin was crispy while the flesh was fluffy. I highly recommend biting into it directly. ■ Today's Donabe Rice We had pot rice with porcini mushrooms and smoked pork belly, freshly cooked right in front of us. The aroma of the porcini mushrooms and smoke was tantalizing. The balance of Japanese and Western flavors in this mixed rice was wonderful. ■ Seasonal Cream Dorayaki Filled with chestnuts, this was a delightful way to end the meal. Personally, I find it very satisfying to enjoy a solid dessert at an izakaya. In summary, none of the dishes left us thinking they could be improved. The menu seems to appeal to people of all ages and genders. Additionally, unlike the usual izakaya courses that serve large platters, most dishes were served individually, which I think is a significant plus. You can enjoy a quiet drink at the counter, and it seems suitable for small groups or year-end parties. By the way, I've heard they serve lunch as well, which I'm curious about. Overall, it was a very fulfilling dinner. Thank you for the meal!
