For a farewell party with three colleagues from work, we chose a restaurant located in a prime location in Ginza, just across the street from Renga-tei where the recent dinner between Prime Minister Kishida and the President of South Korea took place. We opted for a two-and-a-half-hour all-you-can-drink course for 4500 yen, with the option to upgrade to a premium all-you-can-drink for an additional 500 yen. Drinks were ordered by scanning a QR code with a mobile phone. We started with two Asahi Super Dry draft beers each, enjoying the fine bubbles that are characteristic of beer served at golf courses. Next, we had two glasses of Spanish sparkling wine each to quench our thirst. Then, we moved on to red wines, starting with a Chilean Cabernet, followed by a Spanish Tempranillo, and finishing with an Italian wine. While the food may not be top-notch, it was above average and satisfying for a course meal. We ended the evening with white wines from Chile and Italy before calling it a night. Overall, it was a great restaurant for a small gathering!

The recommendation was explained in detail and the food was delicious! It's a casual and welcoming place, with a great atmosphere, and the pizza was tasty! The portion sizes weren't too big, so I think you can enjoy a variety of menu items! I will definitely come back again!

The food was delicious, and the restaurant had a nice casual atmosphere with moderate prices. The meat was a bit tough. The smell of the tomatoes was really appetizing, and I wanted to try either pasta or pizza, but I was too full to eat more. The garlic shrimp was also very tasty, and the drinks were good too!

The other day, I decided to go to work on my day off, so I thought I'd have lunch around Ginza before heading out. I ended up going to this wine bar called "Wine Bar GabuLicious Ginza." It's located about a 2-3 minute walk from Ginza Station C8 exit, and also within walking distance from Ginza-itchome Station. This place is operated by Diamond Dining Group, and the Matsumura guy from DD Group is quite a well-known entrepreneur in the food and beverage industry. They have a wide range of establishments in Tokyo, and have even achieved the industry's first 100 stores with 100 different concepts. Personally, I'm not sure if diversification is good or bad, but it's just one of their business ventures. However, their group of restaurants, including ones like "Winehall Glamour Ginza," "Shimanto River Ginza," and "Hatamata Yashiki," are quite popular and trendy. While this place is marketed as a wine bar, they also serve lunch. There weren't many customers on a Sunday in Ginza-itchome, probably because not many people think of having lunch at a wine bar on a weekend. Apart from me, there were about 4 other groups of customers. The restaurant being underground and having a sign that says "Sakura Suisan - Preparing with all our heart" (see photo) can make it look like the place is closed, which might be easy to miss. They should probably have a more visible sign to show that they're open! As for the lunch menu, I decided to try the Beef Kalbi & Harami! W Yakiniku Tororo Don for 1480 yen. This is a special marinated beef W yakiniku bowl. You can choose between garlic soy sauce or negi salt for the Harami. I went with garlic soy sauce. The flavor was quite good. The beef kalbi was obviously more delicious, but this one had a strong flavor that went well with the rice. The meat had a moderate amount of fat and was tasty. The Harami was a bit on the firmer side, but had a nice crispy texture. Personally, I thought it was pretty good. Some reviews mention issues like tough meat or poorly cut slices, but I think that might depend on how thick the slices are and the direction of the cut. It could be due to inexperienced cooks not understanding these factors. Maybe it also depends on the age group of the diners. Younger people might not mind, but wealthier or older customers might have a different perception. While I don't necessarily defend these points, I didn't think it was bad enough to warrant such harsh criticism. The side dishes included half a flavored egg, green onions, kimchi, and tororo. The person next to me didn't want the tororo, possibly due to an allergy or preference. You can request to have it removed without any issues. The miso soup that came with the set was nothing special, probably instant. The ambiance inside the restaurant was slightly dim because of its underground location, fitting the wine bar theme. The bar counter had a mature vibe, while the table seats had a mix of sofa and cafe-style seating. I'm not sure about the concept there. They had baskets and hangers available. There were about 3-4 female staff members. Overall, it was a decent experience.

There is no lunch menu available. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and there were hardly any people inside the restaurant. I went to eat the lunch menu, but it was not on the menu, so I had to choose something else. If you are looking for the lunch menu, make sure to check in advance.

On a regular night out with friends, the seating was not full but it seemed like they were short on wine glasses as they were using mismatched ones. The harami looked nice but was too tough to chew. The highball was flat with the carbonation gone. Overall, the service felt sloppy which was disappointing.

Visited with a friend on a weekday night. Despite requesting a table when making a reservation online, we were seated at the counter. It wasn't very crowded, so I was surprised. The food was delicious, with a variety of reasonably priced options. The portions of meat were a bit too much for two people. The staff seemed friendly, but I wish they had taken our order sooner. The interior was nice and the location was good. I might consider coming back again in the future.

I will never go back again! I had some bad meat in Ginza after a long time. As soon as I saw it being cooked, I thought, "What kind of cutting is this?" It looked sloppy even to an amateur. The meat was so tough that no matter how much I chewed, I couldn't swallow it. And there was no seasoning at all, just a sauce on the side. Do you know the meaning of seasoning? Even just adding salt and pepper can lock in the flavor of the meat, but I couldn't even taste that. The sauce was delicious, but the meat was disappointing. When I asked where the meat was from, they said it was American harami. Even if it's American, if the fibers are cut properly, it should be tender. Maybe the chef was off that day? When I showed the photos to my mother at home, she said it was tough because they didn't cut along the grain of the meat. The staff, who boasted about their lunch menu, probably haven't even tasted it. I will never go back there again! My boyfriend had the beef kalbi and harami combo. When I, a beef lover, couldn't chew the meat and found it tough, I realized that their recommendation didn't make sense. In Ginza, where there are many affordable and delicious restaurants, this disappointing place won't make it to any good value restaurant list. Even American harami can be tender and delicious if the preparation is done properly. The delicious sauce is wasted. If they could handle the meat properly, I would be satisfied with their boasted lunch menu. Even if the price is good, if the taste is not good, I won't come back. I was sad that I, a meat lover, couldn't even eat half of it. Note: The leftover meat was eaten by my boyfriend. I did not waste any food.

Today, I had work in Shibuya until the evening, so I decided to meet up with my wife in Ginza for dinner. We tried going to Bacchus, a place we haven't been to in years due to the pandemic, but it was fully booked. So, we wandered around with my wife who works in Ginza and ended up at this place. My wife mentioned that she comes here for lunch sometimes. The fried chicken looks delicious. The restaurant was empty when we entered, but most of the tables were reserved. We ended up at a small table in a dimly lit corner, making it hard to read the menu. We had to use the flashlight on our phones to see, but the menu had tiny text that was difficult to read. The interior had an old Irish pub vibe, but the staff and customers were quite young, which might not be ideal for us older folks. Although it seemed like a meat-centric place, my wife's desired fried chicken was not on the dinner menu. We started with anchovy cabbage and chicken skin as appetizers, paired with beer for a toast. The anchovy cabbage was surprisingly not fishy and tasted good. The chicken skin was also delicious. We ordered a bottle of wine and had a steak cooked as well. Everything was quite tasty. The service was excellent, but unfortunately, the seating was a bit awkward, so we decided to change spots.

I went to a cost-effective restaurant in Ginza that offered a course with all-you-can-drink option. It was a holiday, so it was a 2-hour time limit, but they contacted me in advance to confirm, which I thought was really nice. My friend wanted to eat pizza, so we chose this place. It's located underground, but I think the atmosphere is nice. It may not be recommended for those who don't like dim lighting (lol). There were mostly groups of girls, but there was also a counter and a wide selection of wines, so I felt that it's a place easy to visit alone. The chairs were comfortable, but I found the legs of the table slightly bothersome. Since there were two of us, the seating was spacious and not an issue. All the staff were very kind, so I would like to visit this place again if I have the chance. I had the cheese pizza, and it was delicious!

There is a European-style lamppost as a landmark. Going down the stairs behind it, you will find a bar-like space! The door also looks the part. The interior of the bar is dimly lit with occasional lights. It feels like a night bar. I noticed there are some steps on the floor that you need to be careful of. When I went there on a Sunday before 12:30, it was not crowded. The lunch menu is meat-heavy! Some plates offer free rice refills and miso soup. I had a rice bowl with beef, chicken, kimchi, and other toppings. The fried chicken was a bit tough, but the beef had a good texture and was delicious. The miso soup had plenty of ingredients and was satisfying. The grated yam was a nice touch. ✨

This is a wine bar. I made a reservation for a course with assorted raw ham, colorful pickles with chili and lemon flavored edamame, garlic bruschetta with whitebait, green salad with anchovy oil, parmesan cheese gnocchi, French fries, roast garlic chicken steak with herb vegetables. It comes with all-you-can-drink option. I upgraded to premium all-you-can-drink which includes a variety of wines, sangria, highballs, and sours for an extra 500 yen. I enjoyed sparkling wine, sangria, and draft beer.

I went to have a light meal, but ended up eating meat. They had 3 types of red and white wines for only 300 yen per glass, which was reasonable and the location was good. The meat plate had options other than what was shown in the photos and they all looked delicious. The beef in the photo is Zabuton. They also had Harami and Tongue. The Zabuton meat was tasty, and the complimentary mussels were delicious too.

A wine bar located on Ginza Gaslight Street, within a 3-minute walk from Ginza 1-chome. They offer stylish lunch options such as steak sets and rice bowls in a trendy atmosphere. With Wi-Fi available and a wide range of drinks, it's suitable for longer stays. Location: Ginza 1-chome Price: 1,380 yen Space: Table seating, dimly lit atmosphere Payment: Cards, electronic money, cash

Located in the basement of Ginza 4-chome. It might be difficult to enter during the evening hours. I visited during lunchtime. The interior is a bit dark, but the staff are all energetic and create a reassuring atmosphere. I ordered the daily stamina yakiniku set. It arrived piping hot in about 10 minutes. The sweet and savory seasoning was delicious, and I should have ordered extra rice. The daikon miso soup was also tasty. The menu at night is rich in meat dishes, so I definitely want to visit at night. I hope I can visit sooner. Overall, it was a great restaurant with a good atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff.

I had the daily lunch set today since I had pasta last time. For 900 yen, I got a salad, miso soup, and a side dish. If you have a point card, you can also get a free drink. The miso stir-fried pork had a rich flavor that made me want more rice or maybe even some alcohol. The restaurant's interior was a bit dark, so I couldn't take good photos, but the food was delicious. I usually don't like going to underground restaurants during the day, but the music and the staff's vibe made this place very cozy.

In Ginza, there is a bar called "Wine Bar GabuLicious Ginza" where you can enjoy meat and cheese dishes along with wine. They offer lunch until 5 pm every day, so you can enjoy wine from noon. The location is in front of Renga-tei. They also have sister stores in Shibuya and Sendai. The restaurant is operated by SL-D, which is part of DD Holdings. Currently, they have various other establishments like Diamond Dining, Bugus, and Zeton. Unfortunately, the restaurant I originally planned to visit was closed for renovation, so I ended up at GabuLicious. The interior had a lovely bar atmosphere with relaxing jazz music playing. For lunch, they offer dishes like Teppan Beef Steak set, Teppan Grilled Beef Tongue set, Roast Beef bowl, Homemade Keema Curry, Tuna and Salmon Seafood Bowl, etc. I ordered the "GabuLicious Special Fried Chicken set" which came with rice, main dish, pickles, salad, and miso soup (with the option for extra rice). I also ordered an iced coffee. The miso soup had carrots and radish, the salad was a corn salad with Italian dressing, and the rice was cooked perfectly. The main dish had four large pieces of fried chicken that were hot and crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. It was served with shredded cabbage and two sauces - mayonnaise and a teriyaki chicken sauce. The sauce was a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The staff was friendly and provided excellent service. Overall, I was very satisfied with the delicious meal at a reasonable price and would definitely come back again.

I visited for lunch. Located underground, the interior feels like a nighttime space. It has a classy retro Ginza vibe, and the staff are friendly and easy to talk to. The wall seats are comfortable sofa seats where you can relax. The lunch menu includes meat set meals starting from 880 yen. There is also a weekly pasta special for 1100 yen with salad. Drinks are an additional 100 yen. I chose pasta this time based on my mood, but since meat seems to be their specialty, I would like to try a set meal next time. There was a temperature check before entering, and it was quite empty when I visited before 2 pm on a weekday. It seems like a safe option for lunch. They serve lunch until 5 pm, which is convenient if you miss the usual lunch hours.

★Located a 2-4 minute walk from Ginza Station's C8 exit in the subway underground. From the C8 exit (right side towards Mitsukoshi, Matsuya, left side towards Yurakucho), turn right and at the third intersection (one signal before), turn left and go straight for about 30 seconds. It's on the left side of B1F. It's close to Ginza Station and open from noon, so it's a great place to stop by after shopping or watching a movie. ★Food The meat is incredibly delicious!! It's tender, flavorful, and pairs well with wine. The lunch menu also looks very delicious and has great value. ★Drinks There is a wide variety of drinks available such as beer, sour, sparkling, wine, mojito, so you can choose according to your food. ★Other Services The staff are all very kind. No matter how many times I visit, I always feel comfortable. Thank you again.

Hello, I'm a foodie Mintz (@mintz). I had to suddenly go for a drink in Ginza, so I searched for a restaurant on the spot. After considering various options, I decided to go to a wine bar called GabuLicious, where I had been once before. The place has a large entrance and you can easily get in. The counter was relatively empty, so I managed to find a seat there. The food offered was a variety of snacks that go well with alcohol, and the presentation of the ham was beautiful. Honestly, the food was not very voluminous, but it was sufficient if you are focusing on wine. They have a variety of wines, mainly from Spain, so I enjoyed comparing different wines and had a great time. Thank you for reading until the end! If this article was helpful, I would be happy if you could click on this link!

I often use this place for lunch. Since there are no places nearby that serve lunch until 5pm, I always come here. They have regular menu items like fried chicken set and curry, all priced under 1000 yen. This time, I had the braised pork belly from the daily special menu (900 yen). Personally, I wouldn't say the taste is outstanding, but it's just delicious in a normal way. (Although I am a regular customer) The lunch is affordable, and the cost performance is very good, so I gave it 3 stars.
