I used it for a business meal within the company. It is located in the basement of the Tekko Building, right near the north exit of Yaesu at Tokyo Station. When you open the heavy door, a samurai in armor greets you. The elegant and luxurious interior with a blend of traditional and modern Japanese decor is sure to please guests, whether for entertaining or business meals. Since it was a lunch reservation, they were very flexible and accommodating to various requests at the booking stage. The explanation of the course dishes was done with a sophisticated wit that only a skilled server could provide. I had a special 10,000 yen course for lunch, which included a comparison of two types of meat. The fillet was incredibly tender and delicious. While it is on the pricey side, it is recommended for important business meals where you can't afford any mistakes. The atmosphere and the food were both fantastic, and all the participants thanked me for arranging such a wonderful restaurant. I feel honored as the organizer, so thank you very much. Although I couldn't drink alcohol during work, I would like to visit again with my husband next time to enjoy a leisurely meal. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Tokyo Station Yaesu - SAMURAI dos Premium Steak House Tokyo, a steakhouse where samurais (Japanese people) create a world with their knives (knives). A steak restaurant where "Japanese" and "Western" elements are beautifully blended. The entrance has a luxurious feel, with decorations such as helmets and arrows inside. Each room is named after a flower (such as Mizubasho, Botan, Sakura, Yuri), with walls decorated with gold leaf washi paper, tin, and bamboo. Today, we were in the Momiji room. The restaurant is managed by Ramura Co., Ltd. Other restaurants nearby include Japanese restaurants like "Do Furo," "Torimoto," "Gyorogyor," "Kyomachiya," "Kojikura," and "Hokkaido Bar Kai," Western restaurants like "GINTO," "N9Y Butcher's Grill New York," "ACORN," "bottega," and "SK7 Bistro & Bar," Korean BBQ restaurants like "Dokuri," "Shitaushi," "Kantonya," and Chinese restaurants like "Kamonxiang," "Shikumen," "Hodori," and "Wonton Hao." This restaurant was still unvisited by us, but the fact that it has become one of the top steak restaurants has piqued our interest, so we visited with a friend. Perhaps because it is Shangri-La, everyone in the company thought it was created for foreigners. There are people who come to Japan to find samurais and ninjas, so they might be pleased to see the "armor" at the entrance. From the lunch menu, we ordered the "Premium Hamburger Set (300g)" made with the finest Wagyu beef and prime Angus beef. It comes with Hokkaido Yumepirika and mochi barley rice, homemade pickles, enzyme salad, rich double consomme soup, dessert, and a drink after the meal. We toasted with "Ehime citrus juice" and "Shizuoka black oolong tea." The beef consomme soup was made with beef shank, beef bone, and vegetables for 10 hours, resulting in a complex and exquisite golden soup. The enzyme salad was colorful with green and yellow vegetables, dressed with apple, salt koji, and Hiroshima lemon dressing. It is said to aid digestion and reduce the absorption of excess fat before eating meat. The olive and kettle-boiled whitebait rice was perfectly cooked and flavored. The homemade pickles were made with cucumber, daikon, and turnip. The main dish, the Premium Hamburger Set (300g), was a juicy hamburger made with a blend of Wagyu and Angus beef, served with a shariapin sauce. The sauce, similar to a slightly sweet teriyaki sauce, complemented the hamburger well. It was accompanied by flavorful shiitake mushrooms, green asparagus, and sweet Inca no Mezame. For dessert, we had strawberry mousse made with French fromage blanc, served with fresh strawberries. We also enjoyed Hokkaido red bean yokan, salty kinpaito sugar candy, chocolate brownie, and Ginza Tachibana's karinto. We ended the meal with iced coffee. The restaurant's decor is very Japanese with a luxurious feel, and the private rooms add a sense of privacy, allowing for a calm and enjoyable dining experience.

I conducted a solo lunch at "SAMURAI dos Premium Steak House Yaesu Tekko Building Store" on a certain day in September 2023. I had been dining out for the past two days and was looking for a restaurant where I could have a healthy meal. I found this restaurant intriguing because, despite being a steakhouse, they offered drinks with medicinal effects, detox and anti-aging supporting salads, and other healthy menu options. The restaurant is located in the Tekko Building B1F near Tokyo Station. The exterior and interior have a sharp and chic atmosphere, with a sword emblem on the facade and armor decorations inside. The wine cellar and various cuts of beef blocks caught my eye. All seats are private rooms, and I was guided to a room called "Asagao" for 1-2 people. I had made a reservation for the lunch special, "SAMURAI's recommended premium beef tenderloin (120g)." The detox salad included cruciferous vegetables to reduce fat absorption and aid in steak digestion, with a dressing primarily made from daikon, onions, and salt koji. The consomme soup, a specialty of the restaurant, had a very refined taste. The ribeye steak that day was from Mexico, a crossbred cattle called Sonora 17 (3/4 Angus, 1/4 Brahman), known for its good taste and healthy quality. It was surprisingly delicious, comparable to high-quality Japanese beef. The rice and homemade pickles were also delightful. For dessert, there was a selection of treats, including mousse, white wine jelly, melon, and various traditional Japanese sweets, all meticulously crafted. I also tried the herbal cola and coffee after the meal, both of which had a pleasant taste. I plan to try the Premium Steak Course on my next visit. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Hidden gem. Probably packed with business dinners on weekdays, but it's surprisingly available on weekends due to its location. A great find indeed. The atmosphere is formal and perfect for business meetings, but it could work for a date depending on your companion. The service is top-notch, incredibly attentive and wonderful. The spacious and clean restroom is a nice touch, especially when you're accompanying a lady. And the food, oh my, it's truly amazing. Can't believe we're getting such delicious dishes at this price. Will definitely be coming back for more.

The restaurant is located in a steel building with underground commercial facilities. Upon entering through the automatic double doors, you will find a reception area where waiters in a host-like attire greet you. After informing them of your reservation, you will be escorted to your private room, which is small but cozy and perfect for two people. The lunch course includes a detox salad, a rich beef consommé soup, a tenderloin steak (200g), a choice of two side dishes (such as rice with olives and shirasu), and a seasonal fruit dessert with coffee or tea. The steak, cooked slowly at low temperatures, is tender and flavorful, more similar to roast beef than a typical steak. Despite the high price, the quality of the food makes it worth it. Please excuse the blurry photos as the Xperia camera struggled with close-up shots. On the day, we enjoyed the tenderloin steak lunch (7800 yen) with a glass of Himiko brandy (1100 yen) and a 10% service charge (890 yen).

We used it for a face-to-face meeting. We used a private room. The dishes are well balanced with vegetables, and each dish is beautifully presented. The fact that there was sweet red bean tea among the drinks was also a big plus. The meat dishes are on the heavier side, but there are refreshing side dishes and rice accompaniments, which was good.

It was a high-end restaurant located in the basement of a building just a short walk from Tokyo Station. Upon entering, I provided my reservation name and was shown to a private room where I was also guided to the smoking area and restroom. It had been a while since I experienced such attention to detail for a lunch outing. The private room was just the right size, and even the napkins were cute. The lunch course was priced under 5000 yen, but the quality and portion size left me completely satisfied. The salad was refreshing with a sweet and tangy dressing that complemented the greens well. The consommé soup had a rich flavor from being well-cooked and was delicious. The main dish, a hamburger made with Angus beef, had a meaty flavor and juiciness that was very tasty. It was served with rice seasoned with condiments, making it feel like you could eat as much as you wanted. The demi-glace sauce was appetizing. For dessert, there were several options ranging from sweet treats to melon. The melon, in particular, was very sweet and delicious!

I was taken to this restaurant as a celebration by a friend. It is located on the basement floor of a building right near the Yaesu North Exit of Tokyo Station. The restaurant doesn't have a sign outside, so it seems to be a hidden gem. Inside, all the rooms are private, with each room named after a different Japanese plant and uniquely designed. The table setting is stylish, with plates that reflect a sense of Japan. The course meal we had included appetizers, soup, meat and fish dishes, salad, main meat dish, rice dish, dessert, and coffee. The flavors were a mix of Japanese and Western, with sauces using plum in some dishes. The main steak was served medium rare, and we could enjoy it with wasabi, salt, miso, mustard, sudachi, garlic soy sauce, and sharapin sauce for added flavor. My favorite combinations were wasabi, salt, garlic soy sauce, and sharapin sauce.

I suddenly felt like eating hamburger, so I made a lunch reservation for myself at SAMURAI. I ordered the course with Black Wagyu and Angus Beef Premium Hamburger (250g). I was seated in a private room for two people, which was perfect for dining alone. Here is my review of the meal: - Salad: The dressing was delicious. - Beef consomme soup: The flavor was rich and concentrated, the best part of the course. - Main dish: The hamburger was thick and satisfying, and the thick shiitake mushrooms served with it were impressive. - Rice: The rice dish was topped with boiled whitebait, but the strong aroma overpowered the flavor of the hamburger, which was a bit disappointing. - Dessert: Pistachio mousse, melon, karinto (sweet deep-fried dough), chocolate, etc. The pistachio mousse was exquisite. At the end, a comment from the staff made me feel a bit disheartened, but I shrugged it off and left the restaurant. Overall, it was delicious! Thank you.

Opened in 2016, this steak restaurant is located on the basement floor of the Yaesu Steel Building South Wing, offering a total of 14 private rooms. The interior is welcoming with samurai clad in the armor of the Tokugawa family greeting guests, creating a sophisticated and private atmosphere for adults. Each room, accommodating 2 to 10 people, is uniquely designed with different themes reflected in the lighting and wall decor. Our room was named "Morning Glory," and even the sliding doors featured a morning glory pattern. The ambiance is incredibly quiet and serene, providing a truly extraordinary dining experience. The collaboration of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and Western culinary expertise is evident throughout the restaurant, creating a unique and modern dining space. As someone who is not a fan of steak, I opted for the hamburger, which is a rare find in upscale restaurants and typically only available for lunch on weekdays. I visited this restaurant to treat my niece (my brother's daughter) who was visiting from Osaka after attending an event at Makuhari Messe. We ordered the Premium Hamburger 250g course for 4,180 yen per person, plus a 10% service charge, totaling 4,598 yen each. For reference, the course featuring a 130g Special Beef Fillet Steak is priced at 6,380 yen, while the full course with appetizers and aperitifs costs 9,680 yen. The meal included a Detox Salad with a dressing of citrus and salt koji, a Beef Consomme soup made without artificial seasonings, a hamburger made with a blend of black wagyu and Black Angus beef, and a side dish of onions, mashed potatoes, burdock, shiitake mushrooms, and snow peas. The rice dish was a blend of Hokkaido Yumepirika rice and barley with green olives and dried young sardines topped with seaweed. The dessert featured a raspberry and pistachio mousse with dark cherry sauce, blueberries, and raspberries, along with melon, fresh chocolates, Hokkaido red bean yokan, salted sugar candy, and Ginza Tachibana's karinto. The coffee, served in Koshino Hiroko cups, was brewed with high-quality beans, and the tea "Surari" was a refreshing blend of Japanese herbs known for their detoxifying properties. The restroom was impressively stocked with warm towels, mouthwash, toothbrush sets, disposable cups, and other amenities, making it convenient for those heading back to work in the afternoon.

A friend wanted to eat meat and Japanese food, so we visited this restaurant for their birthday celebration. It is conveniently located near Tokyo Station, Otemachi, and Nihonbashi, making it easily accessible from any station. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by samurai armor, which would surely be appealing to foreign visitors. The tuxedo-style napkin set was also cute. We ordered the Lily Course (with a drink) for 8,800 yen, which included a colorful appetizer with seasonal vegetables and red snapper sashimi with tapenade sauce. The Samurai Specialty, a rich beef consomme soup with Kanazawa gold leaf, was truly delicious and not too heavy. The detox salad was refreshing, and the selected 100g Black Wagyu fillet steak from Kagoshima was superb. The combination of olive and boiled whitebait with Hokkaido rice was unique but surprisingly tasty. For dessert, we enjoyed a selection of Western sweets and fruits. The completely private room allowed us to chat leisurely without worrying about others. The room was a bit cramped for the four adults, but there are larger rooms available depending on the number of guests. The restaurant seems suitable for celebrations or business dinners, and we noticed that there were families with children dining as well. However, there is no a la carte or kids' menu, so that is something to keep in mind. Overall, the course meal felt like dining in a hotel with a special touch, making it perfect for special occasions or business entertainment. The traditional kaiseki-style meal using chopsticks was appreciated by all, including older guests.

On this day, I visited "SAMURAI dos Premium Steak House YAESU Tekko Building Store" located on the B1F of the Tekko Building in Yaesu, Tokyo. I had made a reservation the day before, as the forecast predicted snow in Tokyo and my plans were canceled. I arrived at 11:30. The entrance of the restaurant is stylish, with the name of the restaurant being Samurai and the logo resembling a Japanese sword. I informed the staff of my name and was guided to a private room. The restaurant has private rooms only, and the room I was in, named Asagao, had morning glory flowers painted on the walls. The staff was friendly and provided excellent service. Since I had made a reservation through a certain website, a complimentary drink was included. I chose sparkling wine from the options of adzuki tea, Wenzhou mandarin juice, and sparkling wine. The sparkling wine had a rich aroma and fine bubbles, which complemented the food well. The water served was mineral water from the deep sea of Sado Island. - Detox Salad: A salad with plenty of cruciferous vegetables and a delicious dressing that aids in digestion. The aroma of vegetables and sparkling wine paired well together. - Consomme Soup: A consomme soup made by simmering aromatic vegetables, beef bones, and minced beef for a total of 12 hours. It was flavorful and aromatic, leaving a lingering taste in the mouth. For the steak, I ordered red wine, specifically a Tempranillo grape wine recommended by the staff. It was fruity and paired well with the steak. - Beef Fillet Steak: Cooked medium rare, the steak was tender and full of flavor. The slightly sweet sauce and red wine complemented the meat perfectly. The accompanying vegetables were simple yet delicious. - Rice: A rice dish with Yumepirika rice, barley, chopped olives, and shirasu (whitebait). The combination of sweet Yumepirika rice, chewy barley, and salty olives and shirasu was delightful. - Dessert: A variety of desserts including strawberry blancmange, fruits (Amaou strawberries and setoka oranges), chocolate, red bean paste, Ginza Tachibana karinto, and salted kinako sugar. The strawberry blancmange stood out with its perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and aroma. I enjoyed the meal with a cup of coffee, savoring the lingering flavors. I settled the bill at my table before leaving. The hospitality of the staff was exceptional until the end. It was a satisfying lunch experience, and the cost was less than 10,000 yen, making it a great value for money. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

The steak restaurant in the basement of Tokyo Station's Tetsuko Building seems to cater more towards foreigners with its flashy interior and decorations of armor and helmets at the entrance. Each table is in a private room, which lacks a lively atmosphere, and there is an additional charge for the room fee. However, the food is reasonably priced even for Saturday lunch, with delicious mixed grain rice and tasty meat and side dishes.

Located in the basement of the Yaesu Steel Building right by the Yaesu North Exit of Tokyo Station, this stylish steakhouse offers private dining in every seat. The first impression at the entrance with armor welcoming you is sure to leave a lasting impact. Despite the name suggesting a quirky shop catering to inbound tourists, the overall interior exudes an American-Japanese vibe, yet maintains an elegant and serene atmosphere. The impeccable service makes it perfect for various business entertainment purposes. The main course of the reserved lunch course was the beef fillet steak, recommended to be cooked medium rare. The steak was tenderly cooked with a delicate sweetness of the beef. The dishes overall gave a classic hotel-like impression.

I had a Christmas dinner course. The most impressive thing was that there were many different sauces and condiments for the steak. I could enjoy it without getting tired of the flavors! The dessert had candied chestnuts that were difficult to pick up, so I ended up using my hands. It was a memorable Christmas experience! Thank you very much!!

I visited a steakhouse located about a 5-minute walk from Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station. I was guided to a private room in the basement of the Steel Building. The interior of the restaurant was enveloped in a Japanese atmosphere, allowing me to experience a sense of escape from the ordinary while enjoying the meal. The course dishes, including steak, were delicious and satisfying. I recommend this place for those who want to spend a leisurely time with loved ones while enjoying delicious food in a private setting.

Eating out every day to conquer the top 100 restaurants. Today, I visited Samurai Steak House in Yaesu, Tokyo. This restaurant was selected as one of the top 100 steakhouses in 2022. It is located in the basement of the Yaesu Iron Building in Tokyo. I arrived at the restaurant before noon on a weekday. The entrance stood out among the various dining options directly connected to the station. As I tried to open the heavy door, a staff member opened it for me. Inside, the atmosphere was very luxurious, and I was led to a private room. On the table, there were neatly folded napkins resembling tuxedos, along with knives and forks, adding a playful touch. I ordered the Special Tenderloin 210g course for 7,800 yen. I hesitated between the Prime Angus Beef fillet, but chose this one for the quantity. The lunch course was also substantial and had good value for money. The meal included a Shio-Koji and Dai-Dai salad, homemade consomme soup, beef tendon, beef bone (simmered for half a day), olive and shirasu rice, tenderloin (cooked in a low tone to lock in the flavor and make the meat tender), dessert (pear mousse, persimmon, red bean yokan, raw chocolate, tachibana candied peel, warabi mochi), and coffee. The meat was incredibly tender, and the sauce, with a hint of Japanese or sheep flavor, was a first for me but paired well with the soft meat. The salad, soup, rice, and dessert were all fantastic. I definitely want to come back here in the evening.

I used this restaurant for a dinner with a friend. I am from Kansai and my friend is from Tohoku, so the location near Tokyo Station was convenient. I had the aged beef steak, which was tender and full of flavor. However, there was nothing particularly noteworthy about the other dishes. The interior of the restaurant had a strong Japanese theme with samurai armor on display. It seemed like they may be targeting inbound tourists.

To celebrate our anniversary, we went for lunch at a steak restaurant near Tokyo Station. We ordered the special tenderloin steak (130g) which cost around 6300 yen per person. This was part of a course meal. The detox salad was made with cruciferous vegetables and had enzymes that help reduce oil absorption and have anti-aging effects. It had a slight bitterness which was balanced out by a citrus dressing. The beef consomme soup was a specialty here, made by simmering beef tendons and bones for about 10 hours. It had a rich beef flavor. The main dish, the selected beef fillet steak, was cooked medium rare and had a cheese-like aftertaste. The accompanying vegetables each had their own distinct flavors. For dessert, we had a light sweet of pear mousse with earl grey-infused whipped cream. It was served with a variety of fruits like persimmon and pear, along with traditional Japanese sweets like warabi mochi, yokan, karintou, and chocolate. It was a great way to enjoy a variety of flavors.

I used the "SAMURAI dos Premium Steak House," which offers fully private rooms that can be reserved on Tabelog. The lunch set menu comes with a 210g steak for 7,800 yen. It includes salad, consomme soup, dessert, and a drink. The salad had a unique flavor, which I found interesting. I prefer consomme soup to be a bit richer. I ordered my steak rare, and it was cooked perfectly, tender, and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I had used to entertain before, but I didn't have the luxury to savor it, so it was essentially my first visit (laughs). All seats are private rooms with just the right amount of lighting, making it very relaxing. I had the Angus beef tenderloin lunch course (excluding tax and 10% service charge, 5,800 yen). The enzyme salad appetizer with tomato and plum dressing was a nice accent and had a good presentation. The soup was beef consommé, which might be a matter of personal preference in terms of aroma and taste. The main course was very tasty. The seasoning, cooking method, and sauce were all to my liking. The sauce was rich but did not overpower the quality of the meat. The side dish rice was also very good. It had chopped olives on top, adding a nice salty flavor. It was eye-opening to see olives used in this way. The dessert consisted of small portions of 6 different items, all vibrant and visually appealing. From karintou to raw chocolate, it made my heart dance. I wonder what the concept was, but it was enjoyable so it's all good. For 5,800 yen, I am completely satisfied.

Tasting course was satisfying in terms of quantity and quality. I was just full after dessert. Men might find the portion a bit small. The private room provided a comfortable and cozy atmosphere, and the staff knew when to give us space for conversation. I would love to visit again for a special occasion. The napkins were folded into tuxedo shapes, which made the experience even better!
