I visited the Yonezawa Beef Uesugi Ginza Main Store in search of the finest Yonezawa beef. The course I reserved through Ozmall was the popular No.1 lunch [Yakiniku Lunch ★ 3500 yen] with a luxurious private room available for reservation! It includes a satisfying meat platter with 4 types of meat and Yamagata Prefecture's Tsubaki Princess rice, among other dishes. The course includes: [Appetizer] Spring wild vegetables (tara no me mayo salad, kogomi sesame salad, urui side dish), salad [Soup] Beef tail soup [Meat] - Yonezawa beef tatebara - Yonezawa beef shishin - Beef tongue - Yamagata Prefecture Sakura chicken [Meal] Yamagata Prefecture Tsubaki Princess rice [Dessert] Homemade almond jelly [After-meal cafe] Coffee or tea [Appetizer] Normally, at yakiniku restaurants, you would expect kimchi or kakuteki as an appetizer, but this time we were served three types of spring wild vegetables. It was nice to encounter food that truly made us feel the arrival of spring for the first time this year. The salad had a perfect balance of acidity, citrus, and the unique bitterness of the vegetables that made me want to learn the recipe for the dressing. [Meat] "Beef tongue" The meat at a restaurant known for its delicious beef tongue is usually very good, and this one was no exception - tender and juicy thanks to the preparation. This time, we enjoyed it with salt. "Tatebara" is a cut located near the front legs and had a taste similar to kalbi with excellent fat marbling. "Shishin" is a tender part located even further inside than the inner thigh, with a refreshing taste and moderate fat marbling. Tatebara and shishin can be compared to kalbi and loin, and they paired well together. "Sakura chicken" was raised on feed mixed with cherries, providing a firm and chewy texture. I wish there was a bit more of the Yamagata Prefecture Tsubaki Princess rice as it really enhances the flavor of the meat. The dessert, homemade almond jelly, was excellent as a finishing touch. The almond jelly had a creamy texture similar to blancmange, and it paired perfectly with the tea we ordered. I have visited Yonezawa Beef Uesugi Ginza Main Store several times, and considering its location in Ginza and the taste of the meat, I believe it is one of the best value restaurants in the area. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Since it's in Ginza, I thought it would be expensive, but it wasn't too pricey. We mainly had cuts like tongue and lean meat. They were grilled over charcoal, giving them a nice aroma and not too greasy. Overall, the food was delicious and had good value for the price. The interior wasn't overly luxurious, which might be reflected in the pricing. However, they have private rooms, so I think satisfaction would be even higher in a private room.

Yonezawa Beef Uesugi @ Ginza - A restaurant where you can enjoy high-quality lunch at a reasonable price compared to dinner. The restaurant is operated by a company that wholesales Yonezawa beef.

Thank you for the meal.

Great customer service, beautiful restaurant. They have private rooms, so it's perfect for dates, anniversaries, or business dinners. And the Yonezawa beef is delicious! We had a wonderful meal with the Akami Banquet Course. Both the salt and sauce were tasty. Definitely a place I want to visit again.

It was a satisfying course in a prime location in Ginza! The fresh vegetables, juicy hamburg steak, and delicious yakiniku grilled over charcoal were all amazing. Ending with soba was a nice touch and very tasty. I heard their lunch is also good value, so I plan to visit again without hesitation.

This restaurant is operated by a company that wholesales Yonezawa beef, so you can fully enjoy Yonezawa beef here. I went there for lunch, but I still had a great time enjoying the Yonezawa beef! For dinner, it may cost around 10,000 yen per person, but the atmosphere inside the restaurant is very nice, so I think it's recommended for entertaining clients. In addition, they offer several types of juices made from local Yonezawa ingredients, which I think is a unique feature of this restaurant. However, since the restaurant is on an upper floor, it's a bit of a shame that it's not very noticeable from the outside... (although that may be part of the restaurant's charm)

I ordered a luxurious course of thick-cut tongue and premium lean meat for 10,000 yen. The restaurant, located right in the heart of Ginza, was filled with foreign languages. Due to the weak yen, many foreigners were enjoying yakiniku. The style here is DIY grilling with charcoal inside, creating a delicious aroma. The tongue slices were surprisingly thick. Be careful not to undercook them, as they can end up a bit rare inside. I was excited to see my favorite cuts like lamp, rump, brisket, and belly. I was worried the meat might be too fatty, but it was well-marbled and enjoyable till the end. I often get indigestion after eating yakiniku, but surprisingly, I didn't feel bloated the next day. For the finale, I chose cold noodles with thin-sliced meat over soup with rice. It was a great choice. The firm and refreshing noodles made me feel like I could eat two more bowls. Overall, the meal was delicious, but one tip is to grease the grill with beef fat each time as the meat tends to stick.

I went for dinner!! The staff at the reception were very polite and the interior was very stylish. The meat dishes were all excellent! The kalbi was very delicious for this price range. I will definitely visit again. The drinks were also perfect! I think it's great to enjoy them with delicious food and drinks!!

Visited a yakiniku restaurant in Ginza after seeing a delicious-looking hamburger set on the outdoor menu. Upon arrival, I was informed that the hamburger set requires a reservation. The cheapest lunch set available was a yakiniku set for 2500 yen, while the hamburger set was around 1800 yen, so I felt a bit disappointed. I decided to order the yakiniku set for 2500 yen. The salad had a nice Sakura dressing, with a pleasantly sweet and sour aroma. The soup was a beef soup, rich in flavor like a beef consomme. The yakiniku cuts looked a bit average, but the taste was undeniably delicious with the flavor of Yonezawa beef. The yakiniku was cooked just right to remove excess fat, making it a great choice for enjoying Japanese beef. The rice was Tsuyahime, which was easy to eat. The side dishes were quite thoughtful. Finished off with yuzu sherbet and coffee. Overall, I left the restaurant feeling satisfied.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was chic and had a moderate sense of luxury, creating a calm feeling. It was daytime when I visited for lunch, and the view from the window was also nice. I imagined that it would be even more beautiful and dazzling at night. I had the yakiniku course, and the meat was beautifully marbled, very tender, and incredibly delicious without feeling heavy on the stomach. From the appetizer salad to the final dessert, each course was truly delicious. The staff were very polite and explained each dish, allowing me to have a wonderful lunch experience. I am very satisfied and would love to visit again.

I requested to go to a restaurant near Ginza or Shinbashi where I could eat meat, and I was taken to this place. It is located about a 3-minute walk from Ginza Station and about a 5-minute taxi ride from Shinbashi Station. The course we had was the Chateaubriand course, which includes the rare cut known as the king of fillet + a choice of 1 drink. The course included: Kimchi assortment, recommended salad, Namul assortment, Wagyu beef tongue, Yonezawa beef sirloin, Wagyu beef harami, grilled vegetables, Yonezawa beef Chateaubriand, rice or cold noodles and another option (I forgot). For dessert, we had a choice as well. We started with a toast with champagne against the backdrop of Ginza's night view. The appetizers were also meat-based, which was great. We enjoyed the salad, kimchi, tongue, sirloin, and Chateaubriand, which melted in the mouth. The rareness of the meat in the rice dish at the end was also delightful. The staff's service was excellent, and we had a great time chatting. It's a great place for a date with delicious meat and a nice night view. They also seem to offer lunch, so I would like to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal!

GICROS GINZA on the 3rd floor is a yakiniku restaurant that serves Yonezawa beef. The stylish and fashionable interior makes it suitable for a date. I had the yakiniku lunch which included: appetizer, yakiniku, soup, rice, dessert, and tea. The appetizer consisted of salad, salmon, and oysters, which was a bit surprising as it was different from the yakiniku theme. While I personally prefer meat-only appetizers for consistency, the seafood was a nice touch given the stylish atmosphere. The yakiniku featured Yonezawa beef with three different cuts to enjoy. You grill the meat yourself. The tongue had a perfect chewiness and juiciness combination, while the loin had a refined taste with a hint of marbling. It's recommended to grill them slightly rare. The portion was sufficient and enjoyable. Grilling some vegetables in between helped refresh the palate. I also ordered sparkling wine (around 800 yen) to indulge in during dessert, making it a luxurious lunch experience.

This is a sophisticated restaurant in Ginza with a refined atmosphere. The meat was also very delicious. Personally, I prefer Uesugi in Fukushima when I visit there as it is more reasonable and I like it. I understand that the prices here are higher due to the high rent in Ginza, but I think it's totally worth it for a date or special occasion.

I didn't have a particular purpose in mind, but I happened to pass by this restaurant and decided to have some yakiniku. The restaurant was empty with only one other group of customers. The meat that came out was lined with quite a bit of marbling. I wondered if I could finish it all, but ended up eating everything. It was a delicious meal. #Yakiniku #Meat #Ginza #Delicious #Dinner #YonezawaBeef #food #foodstagram #delicious #delistagrammer #tasty

In a building across the sidewalk from TOKYU PLAZA, there is a yakiniku restaurant! Here, you can enjoy premium Yonezawa beef yakiniku. They have private rooms available, providing a sophisticated and calm atmosphere to enjoy your meal. The sirloin is served in a size that resembles teppanyaki, allowing you to grill it yourself - a luxurious experience! After shopping in Ginza, be sure to try the Yonezawa beef yakiniku! Thank you for the delicious meal!

Located in Ginza's "Niku Building", it is super convenient being directly connected to the station and parking. When in need, I always rely on Niku Building. They offer dishes like Hijiki seaweed, kimchi, namul, wagyu beef carpaccio salad, tongue and Chateaubriand, harami, zabuton, sirloin yakiniku, Yamagata beef soba.

This shop in Ginza was used for entertaining this time. We used a completely private room. The private room also had a toilet, which was great. This is a place where you can fully enjoy Yonezawa beef. The atmosphere is nice and I think it can be widely used for dates and entertaining. Thank you for the meal!

(2021.05.24) Located a 2-minute walk from Ginza Station at the intersection of Sotobori-dori and Miyuki-dori, "GICROS GINZA GEMS" opened in November two years ago and has been attracting attention for its high-quality restaurants. However, due to the ongoing pandemic, there has been no announcement regarding their operating status, which led me to hesitate in visiting. Amidst this, I learned that "Yonezawa Gyutan Uesugi," operated by a Yonezawa beef wholesaler based in Yonezawa City, offers a limited daily supply of hamburgers made with Yonezawa beef trimmings, so I decided to pay a visit. Upon taking the elevator to the 5th floor, I was greeted by a dimly lit, luxurious entrance with a refrigerated showcase displaying what appeared to be premium meats. The dining area beyond exuded a sophisticated atmosphere, although I was unable to secure a table overlooking Sotobori-dori. Nevertheless, there were elegantly appointed table seats and private rooms available, making it suitable for special occasions like anniversaries. I usually choose restaurants for my solo lunches based on my mood of the day, but this time I made a reservation. Starting with a salad that offered a refreshing, crisp texture and a Yuzu dressing with a pleasant acidity and citrus aroma, the meal continued with appetizers such as salted hiziki seaweed and moist, smooth ham made from Yonezawa beef thigh meat. Each dish showcased delicate attention to detail. The soup served alongside the hamburger contained mozuku seaweed and hiziki seaweed, with a fragrant blend of spices that whetted the appetite. The hamburger itself had a substantial thickness of around 30mm, boasting a juicy, tender texture reminiscent of hand-cut meat rather than ground beef. Made from 100% Yonezawa beef without any breadcrumbs or fillers, it allowed the full flavor and aroma of the meat to shine through. The sauce generously drizzled over the hamburger was a rich concoction that accentuated the acidity and astringency of red wine, enhancing the overall umami flavor when combined with the meat juices. The garnishes included lotus root, pumpkin, eggplant, shishito pepper, eringi mushroom, turnip, and yamaimo, each prepared in a healthy manner through either frying or grilling. For dessert, a fruit almond jelly featured a silky smooth texture complemented by strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, and other fresh fruits, leaving a refreshing finish in the mouth.

Hamburg lunch is my recent favorite, so I went back to 【Yonezawa beef Uesugi Ginza Honten】, which I remember was very delicious last time! It is a Yonezawa beef specialty store on the 5th floor of Jikuros Ginza Building. The hamburg I was looking for is made with Yonezawa beef trimmings, so it is limited to 4 meals a day and requires a reservation. The 【Homemade Hamburg Lunch Course】 costs 1980 yen and includes appetizers, salad, Yonezawa beef hamburg, rice (from Yamagata), soup, dessert, and coffee or tea. The salad was fresh with crispy vegetables. The appetizer was tomato stewed beef tongue (so delicious!), pickled daikon, and vegetable namul. The hamburg is made with 100% Yonezawa beef without any fillers. It is finely ground and juicy. It's not too meaty and doesn't feel greasy at all, which I really like. The variety of roasted vegetables like mushrooms, lotus root, zucchini, turnips, etc. as side dishes is a nice touch. The rice is from Yamagata and is chewy and sweet. The almond jelly dessert with fruits was also delicious, and I even told the staff, "It's perfect until the end." I still love this place.

As someone who frequents the same building in Yamashina, I was curious about this restaurant. I didn't know about it the first time I came to the building, but I could tell it's a fierce competition for meat lovers. Especially the higher floors seem to have strong rivals. I love Yonezawa beef, so I decided to try their lunch set which cost around 6000 yen. I thought it might be a bit pricey for lunch, but I went ahead with the reservation. When I arrived and saw the interior, I couldn't help but feel it was a bit extravagant. I couldn't help but notice the interior design of the building since it's the same one. I thought that with a good atmosphere, it could make a difference in the experience. There weren't many customers. While waiting for a friend who was running late, I found out they also sell meat online. I thought if the meat is good, I might want to order some to enjoy at home. When my friend finally arrived, we started our meal. To cut to the chase, the meat was delicious! However, my overall impression was that the presentation, serving style, or perhaps the price for a lunch set left something to be desired in terms of satisfaction. The meat was tasty, but... well, something felt lacking (´･ω･｀). I'm not sure about the quality of cheaper lunch sets, but I might consider coming back for a lower-priced option. That was my feeling after the meal (*´∀`). Thank you for the meal! (*´∀`)

I visited for lunch as dinner is expensive. I forgot to order the meat platter... I made a reservation for the course in advance. Salad, appetizer, three types of meat - tongue, tri-tip, and something else, maybe loin. Sorry. Rice, soup, dessert, coffee or tea. The meat was thick, tender, and just right. It filled my stomach nicely. I enjoyed savoring it. It is recommended to take a bite and savor it while chewing.
