Today's lunch was a Japanese-style hamburger in Ginza, and it was delicious. This was my first time at this restaurant. They use Matsusaka beef not only for yakiniku but also for their hamburgers. I arrived right at the opening at 11:30 am, ordered at the entrance menu, and was seated at the counter. They provided cold water and a wet towel. The rice was offered in large portions and refills were free. The hamburger came with grated daikon radish on top. The warm vegetables (cabbage, carrot, shimeji mushrooms, bell pepper, broccoli) were served in a generous amount. The salad had French dressing. When I dug into the hamburger, the juices oozed out. The meat was finely ground with less binder, giving it a meaty texture that paired well with ponzu sauce. The rice was perfectly cooked and delicious. The warm vegetables also complemented the rice nicely. The miso soup was standard wakame seaweed soup. I even had a bit of rice refill and finished everything in no time. It was a very delicious meal, and even vanilla ice cream was included. The service and hospitality were great, and I highly recommend this place. Located at 5-10-13 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo Rice Building B1.

The restaurant was located underground, so it didn't have a luxurious entrance, but once inside, it had a rich atmosphere. I ordered the beef tongue lunch at the entrance for 1700 yen. It was delicious, but I felt like the portion was a bit small. It's nice that you can eat at a high-class restaurant for under 2000 yen for lunch.

Platto, for today's lunch, I explored around Ginza Station. After exiting the ticket gate of Ginza Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, I went up the stairs at Exit A5 and turned left onto Harumi Street. Walking towards Harumi for a while, I turned right at the second T-junction onto Ginza Sambon Street. A short walk towards Shinbashi, I found Toyorice Building on the left. Going down the stairs on the right side of this building, I arrived at the basement floor where I visited "Yakiniku Wako Matsusaka Ginza Store" today. I entered the restaurant at 12:40 on a weekday. As I entered, I saw the cashier counter in front, where I checked the menu. The lunch menu included rice, soup, salad, pickles, and ice cream, with options like Kalbi (100g), loin (100g), tongue salt (6 slices), fillet (100g), and others like Japanese-style hamburger (170g) and Kalbi noodles. I asked the male staff for a recommendation other than yakiniku, and he suggested either the Japanese-style hamburger or Kalbi noodles. Expecting meat dishes at "Yakiniku Wako Matsusaka," I chose the Japanese-style hamburger and placed my order with the male staff (payment at the end). I was guided to a counter seat by a female staff member as I entered the restaurant. There were two male customers and one female customer already seated at the counter. I started with the salad that was served within a minute of sitting down, then waited for the Japanese-style hamburger. After a 6-minute wait, the Japanese-style hamburger was served, consisting of the hamburger, steamed vegetables, rice, and soup. The hamburger was made with Matsusaka beef, which was tender, easy to cut with chopsticks, and packed with meaty flavor. Topped with grated daikon radish and ponzu sauce, the hamburger's sweetness paired well with the tangy ponzu sauce. I enjoyed the Japanese-style hamburger along with rice and steamed vegetables, finishing with the soup. After finishing the Japanese-style hamburger, I was served with vanilla ice cream for dessert. I refreshed my palate with the vanilla ice cream and finished my meal. Today, I savored the meaty flavor and sweetness of the Japanese-style hamburger. It was a delightful experience for me, Q-chan. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch was also from Ginza! I was stood up by the restaurant I was aiming for, but then I stumbled upon a yakiniku restaurant on Mihara Street that I had never noticed before! It seems to specialize in Matsusaka beef, judging by the name, and with a registration number as a designated seller, it seems promising! I placed my order at the entrance, and paid at the counter on the way out. Let's dig in! I ordered Kalbi noodles without egg, and was served a piping hot, bright red Yukgaejang soup! The Kalbi noodles had a delicate aroma and the sweet, rich soup was full of Matsusaka beef flavor. The noodles had a chewy texture from rice flour, and the flavor improved as they soaked up the soup over time. The Kalbi meat had a strong umami taste, though the portion was a bit small, it was satisfying. The seasoning was more refined compared to continental restaurants. My stomach felt warm and content! I also had salad, kimchi, and finished with vanilla ice cream. If I had more time, I would have grilled some meat too! Next time, I'll try the yakiniku lunch with a roaster! This hidden gem yakiniku restaurant in Ginza offers a reasonable lunch where you can enjoy Matsusaka beef. It's a lunch spot worth checking out in this area!

At 11:45, there were no customers yet. Orders are taken at the counter. The tonteki mostly consists of lean meat, so they advise not to overcook it. Tonteki is more delicious than kalbi. 150g feels a bit insufficient.

I tried a yakiniku restaurant in Ginza. When I entered the restaurant on the B1F, I was a bit disappointed. However, I ordered and found that the food was not bad, but the portions were small overall. It was not outstanding, but it was okay. Thank you for the meal!

Enjoying Matsusaka beef to the fullest. The rib roast is best eaten medium rare as it melts in your mouth. The first impression was that it tasted like strawberries, haha. The sirloin is supposed to be cooked rare, with one side seared. It felt like you could eat the sirloin forever, as the juices didn't seem to stop flowing into your mouth.

At the entrance, temperature checks and hand sanitizing are thoroughly enforced. Tonight, I had a farewell party hosted by my senior from Mie Prefecture at a Mie prefecture restaurant in Ginza. The set included tongue, rib roast, skirt steak, chicken, beef loin, kimchi, Korean seaweed, and bean sprout namul. We had a private room with all-you-can-drink options. The meat was delicious and we had a very pleasant time. Thank you for the feast. Thank you very much.

I visited a Matsusaka beef specialty store that I had seen on TV a few times. I heard that you can have lunch for around 1,000 yen, so I decided to give it a try. As soon as I entered, I was asked for my order, which caught me off guard. It felt like a sudden question right in front of the register, like "So, what will it be?" Should I have decided based on the menu outside? Um, I'll go with bibimbap. And I'll also add some kalbi. As I reached for my wallet, it seemed like I didn't have to pay, and I was guided to a private room in the back. The bibimbap had a vague taste, like something was missing. The meat, on the other hand, was really delicious. I'm glad I added it. I feel like bibimbap wouldn't have been satisfying without the meat.

The planned restaurant was closed due to the pandemic, so I ended up at the Matsusaka beef restaurant across the street. I had to give up a few times due to the line on the stairs or menu items being sold out. I placed my order at the register near the entrance. They were out of grilled shabu-shabu, so I had to settle for the hamburger, which is the only thing I've tried here before. I was seated in a private room for six people. The set salad was average, not as good as I remembered. And the hamburger, despite being Matsusaka beef, was just okay. I couldn't really taste the flavor of the meat. It wasn't rare but still tender. The soup also didn't suit my taste. Maybe my taste buds have changed? I was prepared to share the room with others, but ended up being alone until the end.

Today I went to Yakiniku Kappo Matsusaka for lunch. I chose my menu at the entrance, then sat down. It's a long-established shop that specializes in Matsusaka beef. The lunch menu offers a variety of options besides yakiniku, and I ordered the Kalbi noodles (with salad, kimchi, and ice cream) for 950 yen. The Kalbi noodles were a vibrant red color and had a slightly spicy flavor. The noodles were a bit disappointing as they were more like glass noodles rather than cold noodles, but they were quite filling. The meat was tender and delicious, with a texture similar to beef tendon. It was a hearty and healthy dish with plenty of vegetables and eggs. To finish the meal, they served matcha ice cream which was a nice balance. I would love to come back to try their yakiniku next time.

I had a hamburger for lunch! It was light and delicious. It had a nice meaty flavor too, and was very tasty!

The sirloin 100g and kalbi 50g cost 2,255 yen. The fat in the sirloin is sweet.

Beef lunch set for ¥1430. The meat is not bad.

I had high expectations when I went to have lunch with A5-ranked Matsusaka beef, but unfortunately it was a disappointment. I ordered the Kalbi lunch with an additional 50g of meat for a total of 1890 yen. There were about 13 slices of meat weighing 150g. The reason for my disappointment was that the meat was tough and had a lot of red meat, making it difficult to chew. Furthermore, the meat was not thawed properly. Additionally, the sauce was a bit salty, and the balance between sweetness and saltiness was off. Considering the price of 1890 yen, there are many other restaurants that offer cheaper and tastier options. Perhaps the cost of being in Ginza and the luxurious ambiance of the restaurant are factored into the price. There may also be variations in the quality of the beef, so this feedback is specific to today's lunch Kalbi. I would like to try the limited edition hamburger next time!

Beef is truly an art. The hamburger course that grabs onto your stomach and won't let go, must be reserved in advance.

Famous restaurant in Hokkaido. Delicious.
