If you occasionally go, a place like "Hanadaikon" in Ginza where you can enjoy authentic shabu-shabu and sukiyaki at a fairly low price seems like a good choice. This time, I headed to the restaurant from Yurakucho Station. After passing through the ticket gate with my Suica card, I exited the station. I quickly moved towards Ginza from Yurakucho Station, then towards the Yomiuri Shimbun direction. As I approached an O-Platan department store, I noticed that it was close to closing time and many people were gathered there. I then cut through the side of the Platan department store and continued straight, passing by a street-level Max Mara store on my right. I continued straight and turned right at the next intersection. After turning left at the next intersection, I turned right at the following intersection and crossed to the other side near Matsumoto Kiyoshi. Be cautious as there are groups collecting donations from abroad in this area. I continued straight and turned left at the next intersection, then walked straight down a narrow street. Soon enough, I spotted the building where Hanadaikon is located. After confirming the sign at the entrance of the building, I bravely entered the restaurant. The atmosphere in Ginza was quite upscale, and I could hear conversations of elite businessmen inside. I looked at the menu, which included soba shabu course, various a la carte dishes, shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, teppanyaki shabu menu, various course menus, additional meat menu, draft beer, shochu, sake, wine menu, whiskey, plum wine, cocktails, soft drinks, and the popular Dassai regular menu. I ordered a Hideji beer for 850 yen from the craft beer menu. It had a citrusy fruity aroma and was easy to drink. I ordered the A4 grade wagyu rib roast 180g course for 7,900 yen, and thoroughly enjoyed the flavorful wagyu tataki. The enoki and matsutake mushroom side dish was particularly delicious, with a crispy texture and rich umami flavor. The grilled crab in a box dish was also outstanding, with a perfect balance of crab meat and crab miso. The sukiyaki preparation began, and I was surprised to see Arrow Kanai eggs being used. The A4 grade wagyu meat had a good amount of marbling, and the vegetables were served. I cracked the Arrow Kanai egg into a small dish and dipped the marbled meat in it. The combination of the rich yolk and tender meat was amazing. I also ordered Miyazaki wagyu A5 thigh meat for 600 yen each and Saga wagyu A5 chuck flap for 1,000 yen each. The chuck flap was incredibly flavorful, with a good amount of marbling but not overly fatty. The thigh meat was juicy and packed with umami flavor. I then enjoyed a refreshing Yamazaki plum wine soda for 700 yen. Finally, I added Ise udon noodles to the sukiyaki pot, allowing them to soak up the flavors before serving.

I visited a restaurant in Ginza that I had been curious about for lunch. The restaurant is located in the basement of the building where Ohashi Natsuno's chopstick store is. I started lining up at 12:10 and by 12:30, the staff came to put up a sold out sign due to the overwhelming popularity. I finally got a seat around 2 pm after waiting in line for about 2 hours under the scorching sun. I thought about giving up a few times as some people left the line, but I persevered in the end (haha). I ordered the grilled wagyu beef with grated yam on rice for 1750 yen. The tender and slightly fatty wagyu beef overflowing in the lacquered box was amazing. The wasabi soy sauce with a hint of spiciness and slight sweetness enhanced the flavor of the meat. I received chopsticks as a souvenir and left. It was delicious, but waiting for 2 hours to eat it was quite challenging. I also realized that ordering the regular size instead of the large size would have been enough after seeing the portion of the person next to me. Overall, I would like to revisit if I have the opportunity, especially if I line up before the opening.

This popular restaurant, operated by Natural Visteria Co., Ltd., is known for its grilled wagyu beef sashimi and grated yam rice bowl, which has been buzzing on social media and attracting long lines every day. The owner, Katsuto Sudo, has a diverse background in the food industry, having worked at various establishments before opening this shabu-shabu and sukiyaki specialty restaurant. The restaurant is located just a minute walk from Ginza Station, with limited seating for lunch and a variety of wagyu beef options available. The recommended dish is the grilled wagyu beef sashimi and grated yam rice bowl, which can be upgraded to include sukiyaki beef and a soft-boiled egg for an additional cost. The wagyu beef is sourced from various regions in Japan to ensure consistent quality, and the rice bowl comes in three sizes with the option to double the amount of beef for a more visually appealing dish. Enjoy a light and delicious meal without feeling too heavy on the stomach.

Visited the restaurant in accordance with the opening hours, had to wait for about 40 minutes as the reserved seats were full. Ordered the grilled raw fish with grated yam and sukiyaki on rice set. The set finally arrived after about 10 minutes of waiting. Wow, was the meat this delicious before? I devoured it all in no time. However, the amount of rice was very small, so men may feel unsatisfied. The tea cups and chopsticks that can be taken home are selected to match the atmosphere of the customers.

I entered the restaurant as soon as it opened for lunch. It became packed with customers in no time, showing how popular it is. Within 10 minutes of sitting down, a delicious looking bento box arrived. It was filled with so much meat that it was overflowing (ordered 1.5 times the amount). Just by looking at the meat, you could tell it was going to be delicious. And it really was! Thank you for the meal.

Just before summer vacation, I arrived at the underground restaurant around 12 o'clock on a weekday. There was a long line all the way to the entrance on the first floor. I waited patiently for 2 hours. At some point, they even stopped the line at 50 groups. Finally, I was able to enter the restaurant, but they were still spacing out customers at the counter, as no one sat next to me. I ordered the grilled wagyu beef with grated yam and sukiyaki rice bowl (1.5 times the regular size) and waited for about 15 minutes. The meat was so tender and the flavors were elegant, I finished it in no time. The wait was a bit long, but it was worth it. Next time, I'll come more prepared. Thank you for the delicious meal.

This restaurant is famous on TikTok. The standard serving of meat is 50g, while the premium option is 100g. The premium option is the best in terms of volume, even without the appeal of overflowing meat. For men, the premium option might be more satisfying. I ordered the lean meat bowl separately. The meat is said to be domestic A5 grade with a nice marbling. The sashimi is almost raw meat, and it goes well with wasabi soy sauce without feeling too heavy. The sukiyaki has a light sauce, making it enjoyable, but I personally prefer the sashimi, so I might go with that next time. The lean meat in the bowl is slightly thick, juicy, and delicious when chewed. They also seem to pay attention to the quality of the eggs, which were tasty. It's not particularly cheap, but there is a sense of satisfaction that matches the price.

I visited during the daytime. I arrived at 10:45 and was the first one there, sitting on a bench in front of the elevator until around 11:15. A staff member called me, so I went down the stairs to wait in front of the entrance downstairs. I was given a menu there, and my order was taken around 11:25. I entered the restaurant at 11:30. While waiting in front of the entrance, there were also a few people with reservations, who were asked to line up. It seems that they prioritize letting in those waiting at the storefront before those with reservations. Thanks to this, I was the first to enter the restaurant and the first to be served my food. I sat at the counter, and they left the seat next to me empty, so it didn't feel cramped. I ordered the half & half of grated yam and sukiyaki. Doubling the meat was just the right amount. The thinly sliced meat lightly seared melted on my tongue, a moment of bliss. I finished it in no time. I took the chopsticks used as a souvenir when leaving. The staff were very friendly, and the cost performance of the food was excellent. It's a great restaurant that I would love to visit again.

This is a shabu-shabu and sukiyaki restaurant called Hanadaikon, located just a few minutes' walk from the corner of Ginza 4-chome. It's a bit pricey for dinner, but my daughter highly recommended their lunch for its delicious food and great value, so we decided to give it a try. The result? The food was incredibly delicious and the cost performance was excellent. The quality of the meat for the price we paid was outstanding. As you can see in the photos, my meat was seared well, while my daughter's was lightly seared, but both were incredibly tender and tasty. However, the issue was the waiting time. There was a long wait of about 10 minutes between each group entering the restaurant, and we ended up waiting for a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes with about 5 groups ahead of us. It seemed like there were too few staff members, as it took a while for the tables to be cleared and for water and towels to be provided. Despite the delicious food, the waiting experience was quite intense and something I had never experienced before. Overall, I would recommend the food, but be prepared for a potentially long wait and other inconveniences.

Today's lunch in Ginza after a long time ❤️ #Grilled Wagyu Beef Sashimi and Tororo Sukiyaki Bento Box, priced at ¥1,980. @ginza_hanadaikon I went for the half and half option again, the tororo bento box comes with wasabi soy sauce and tororo. The sukiyaki bento box is sweet and savory, delicious on its own and also great with a squeeze of sudachi. Both were amazing! I enjoyed it with some drinks too. You can take the chopsticks home! This time, the chopsticks were chic and lovely. I had to wait for 50 minutes when I went at 12 o'clock, but it was surprisingly quick. #lunch #meatlunch #bentoboxlunch #luxuriouslunch #bentobox #meat #wagyu #meatcravings #foodcravings #sukiyaki #GinzaLunch #GinzaGourmet #meatstagram #foodstagram #foodporn #instafood #foodgasm #foodstagram #eatstagram #Japan #Tokyo #hanadaikon

○ ============== Summary ============== ○○ Sukiyaki restaurant in Ginza, lunch is very popular○ Wait time 170 minutes (July/Sunday 11:50~)○ ============== Menu for Today ==============٩(☆ω☆｡)و● Grilled Wagyu Beef with grated yam & Sukiyaki set 1980 (large)☆● Ise Udon 700 ☆☆☆Repeat Memo:☆☆☆ Will order again, ☆ Satisfied this time○ ============== Review ==============Hello and good evening! (=ↀωↀ=)✧Here on Tabelog, rating 3.47 (July 2023), I had a great time at Ginza ♥ (*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉThe Sukiyaki set for lunch looked delicious! But because it's far from my workplace, I'll go on a Sunday! Today, I first went to Ueno for my bicycle's annual check-up, and decided to have lunch in Ginza during the waiting time. But there was a long line here! (°□°;) They said I needed a numbered ticket... When I received it, it said 14:00~14:30! Some people gave up and left... But in a way, it was convenient for me, right? After the check-up, I can just come back here with my bike. Ueno to Ginza, on a bike, is faster than taking the train. Even if I arrive early, it should be fine in Ginza, right? So I took the numbered ticket, went back to Ueno... and came back later after the check-up.○ ============== Second Visit 14:05 ==============I lined up on the stairs again[Entered at 14:20]I shared a table with others, but landed on a 6-seater table diagonally across. The dim lighting in the calm interior was much better than the image from waiting in line. There was only one calm man on the floor, and I couldn't see the kitchen from my seat.○ ============== Serving 14:40 ==============Today's order was "Grilled Wagyu Beef with grated yam & Sukiyaki set"Wow٩(☆ω☆｡)وIt looked overflowing from the set intentionally, so it didn't feel clean... ┐(´〜｀)┌○ ============== Review ==============Let's eat(๑°༥°๑) ŧ‹"ŧ‹"Wasabi soy sauce and grated yamThe meat was thinly sliced with plenty of marbling, almost raw... or maybe it was raw? The taste of the sauce made it feel like eating Sukiyaki. The refreshing taste of white spring onions combined with the rich fat was impressive. But wait, is this enough food? Even three times the amount would be enough for an average man... The red miso soup with seaweed was delicious○ ============== Serving 14:55 ==============I added an order for "Ise Udon"Wow٩(☆ω☆｡)وI added it(^^ゞヽ(#゜Д゜)ノ┌┛Σ(ノ´Д`)ノ ｳｼﾛｱﾀﾏｷｯｸ!Because it was a small portion! And they had "Ise Udon"! I got excited○ ============== Review ==============Let's eat(๑°༥°๑) ŧ‹"ŧ‹"It was so delicious!(*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉThis was the Ise Udon I've been looking for ♥ Soft and fluffy udon with a sweet and rich broth, it absorbed the flavor and became like a snack. I think this was the best Ise Udon I've had in the past 20 years. But who would want to eat Ise Udon as a snack? It's from a high-end restaurant, so even if it's delicious, it doesn't make much sense... The set was mediocre... (￣∇￣) It lacked the depth to taste the flavor of the meat itself, the sweetness of the fat, etc. If it were a bit cheaper, it would be more satisfying.

I made a lunch reservation for one person at 11:30 on a weekday. The restaurant only accepts reservations for three groups, so I booked early and managed to secure a spot about 10 days later. When I arrived at 11:20, there was a long line. Despite having a reservation, I joined the queue. At around 11:30, the staff started letting in reserved customers only, asking if there were any among the waiting crowd. A few of us with reservations were then allowed to take the elevator to the B1 floor, leaving the line behind. I ordered the premium Aburi Wagyu Sashimi with grated yam and Sukiyaki set for 2,199 yen. It took about 20 minutes for the food to arrive, but it was delicious. The thinly sliced meat was arranged overflowing from the tiered box, tender and melting in the mouth. The Sukiyaki had a subtle flavor, hinting at its presence but not overpowering the Wagyu sashimi. If given a choice, I might have preferred just the Wagyu sashimi. The premium set supposedly has twice the amount of meat as the regular one, but it didn't seem significantly larger. In fact, I think it might leave you wanting more if you're a big eater. The portion of rice was a bit small, could have been a bit more to enhance the satisfaction. Nonetheless, it was undeniably delicious. I highly recommend making a reservation if you plan to have lunch there.

The lunch is limited to 50 people, and I started lining up at 11:30 and was the 50th person. I waited for about 3 hours to get inside, but it was worth it because the food was delicious. Not only the meat, but also ingredients like sudachi, wasabi, sauce, and grated yam provided a variety of flavors to enjoy. They even gave me the chopsticks I used as a gift when I left, so I was very satisfied.

I visited for lunch on a regular day. I arrived at 11:10. Couldn't see the front of the line, but reserved customers were given priority, so I had to wait for the second round. Finally got in around 12:20. I ordered the Aburi Wagyu Beef with grated yam and Sukiyaki set, priced at 1,580 yen. The photo with meat overflowing seems to be a menu above the regular set. It was incredibly delicious. Even after finishing, I didn't feel heavy at all. I regret not ordering the set above the regular one, as I don't know when I can go again. Highly recommended. Waiting in line is tough, but worth it.

I went around 1 pm on a regular day and there was a long line. I decided to wait and just made it in time before they closed. I ordered the grilled wagyu beef with grated yam and sukiyaki on top. While sipping on cold tea, the beautifully arranged meat in the lacquered box arrived promptly. I followed the instructions, squeezing the sudachi over the sukiyaki and enjoying the wagyu beef with wasabi soy sauce. It was so delicious that I savored every bite. The staff mentioned that the regular portion was 50 grams, so I think the larger portion of 75 grams was just right for me. When I went to pay, the staff gave me a pair of chopsticks as a gift. Each customer had different designed chopsticks, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Despite the wait, the unforgettable taste of the meal made it all worth it. There is a daikon radish farm downstairs, and the first floor is a chopstick shop, so you can also enjoy browsing through different chopsticks designs. It was a taste that made me grateful to be alive. Thank you so much. I definitely want to visit again.

I came to Yurakucho and decided to have a long-awaited Ginza lunch. When I arrived around 11:15, there was already a line in front of the restaurant. I couldn't see how many people were ahead of me since it was my first time there, but I decided to wait in line. By 11:30, the line had moved and there were only 4-5 groups ahead of me, so I thought the wait wouldn't be too long. However, it ended up taking much longer than expected, and I even considered giving up at one point. I finally got inside around 12:40. The restaurant had a counter with 6 seats and 3 table seats. The service was very polite, but I still had to wait about 20 minutes even after placing my order. I ordered the grilled wagyu beef with grated yam and sukiyaki set. The quality of the meat for the price was great, and despite the long wait, I was glad I got to eat there. It was clear that most of the customers were not office workers from Ginza, as it was a weekday lunch. They only serve 50 sets a day, and when I left around 1:30, there were still about 15 people waiting outside. Overall, it was quite a challenging lunch experience. Thank you for the meal.

I saw this place on Instagram and decided to visit right when it opened. I ended up waiting in line for an hour and a half before getting inside. There were no numbered tickets or waiting cards, so I had no idea how much longer I had to wait. Once inside, the food was brought to us quite quickly and it felt like opening a treasure chest when it arrived. I ordered a half-and-half dish with sukiyaki and regular beef, and the sukiyaki was absolutely delicious, it blew my mind. It was a bit fatty but in a good way. The portion sizes were small overall, so men might not get full, but considering the taste and price (around 2000 yen for extra meat), it's a great deal for lunch even though it's a bit pricey for dinner. I highly recommend it and I can't wait to go back again.

I lined up at 10:30 and got seated around 12:00! I ordered the premium wagyu beef set meal, limited to 7 servings per day. It was my first time tasting meat that melts in your mouth! The other meats were also delicious! It seems like you can make reservations, so if you definitely want to try it, make a reservation!

[Date & Availability] I visited around 11:40 on Wednesday afternoon. I lined up from the same entrance as Hashiya-san on the 1st floor and waited for 2 and a half hours to get food. [Food Consumed] Sashimi & Sukiyaki Special (2 servings) [Impressive Points] The taste of the meat fat was very delicious, and the miso soup was extremely tasty. [One Word] Sashimi allowed me to taste the flavor of the meat more, and it was delicious. Both are delicious! Since the shop is located underground, it's hard to see the end of the line, making it difficult to estimate how much longer you'll have to wait. ~Star Rating Criteria~ 4.5 stars: I would make time and want to revisit with loved ones, even if it's far away. 4 stars: I would want to visit frequently if it were nearby. I would also want to revisit with friends. 3.5 stars: I can spend a good time here. 3 stars: Neither good nor bad. 2.5 stars: There are some negative aspects.

Once again, we went to Ginza Hanadaikon, which we found on TikTok, with three employees for lunch at 11:30. They only accept reservations for 50 people, so we arrived a bit early at 11:15. We were relieved to be around 13th or 14th in line at the entrance, but as soon as they opened, everyone rushed downstairs. The waiting area in front of the entrance was full, with four people ahead of us and then our group of three. It took a while for the line to move, so many people ended up leaving before getting in. After waiting for an hour, we were finally seated at a table for four. However, we noticed that there were only four tables for four people and a counter with 5-6 seats in the restaurant. Some customers who had finished eating were chatting and not leaving. Despite the delicious meat, I felt that the operation could be improved to make the restaurant more customer-friendly. I hope they can make some changes to increase customer satisfaction. I left the restaurant holding onto the chopsticks I used, feeling a bit frustrated. 3.5 stars for the food quality.

The restaurant is located underground, and during lunchtime, there was a huge line, especially because it was a Saturday. I arrived a little before opening, but there was already a long line! It took about 2 hours to finally have lunch. They only serve 50 meals a day, and the grilled wagyu beef was incredibly delicious. The portion of rice was a bit small, so I felt a little unsatisfied, but it was still tasty. It was nice that it came with red miso soup and grated yam, which added to the enjoyment of the meal.
