It was an energetic restaurant with a lively atmosphere! All the dishes were delicious and the staff were friendly. There were many foreign staff members, so they were able to smoothly assist customers from overseas, and I could see that there were many foreign tourists. However, the seats were a bit cramped, and I thought it would be better if the air conditioning was a little cooler. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice, and I think the prices are good for Ginza!

This restaurant is a favorite of mine, with delicious food and great drinks. However, it has become very popular with tourists from overseas recently, so reservations are a must. We visited on a Saturday and were seated with a 2-hour time limit.

"About a 3-minute walk from the Higashi-Ginza subway station is the "Kushiyaki BISTRO Fukumimi Ginza" restaurant. Upon entering, you are greeted by a diverse group of foreign customers, with the staff able to communicate in English. The menu features photos and descriptions in English, making it easy for non-Japanese speakers to order. The staff is welcoming and attentive, making the dining experience enjoyable. I tried the avocado and salmon in wasabi soy sauce, which was delicious, along with the chicken simmered in broth and a variety of skewers. It was interesting to see how the word "teriyaki" has become a universal term understood by all the foreign customers. Overall, this restaurant is a great place to introduce foreign visitors to Japanese culture. Thank you for the wonderful experience!"

This was my second visit. The staff's customer service is good, and most importantly, all the food that comes out is delicious ☺️ The yakitori is of course great, and the crackers and cheese cream served as an appetizer are amazing. The porridge at the end is also seasoned perfectly. This is a restaurant I would like to visit again when I come to Ginza.

My second visit was at 16:30 for an early dinner reservation. The restaurant was still lively as ever. Unlike my previous post which only included photos and prices, I noticed that the prices have increased... It's understandable due to rising costs and fuel prices, but it's tough when income doesn't increase. The taste of the food was satisfying overall, but the cream cheese and crackers for 1100 yen for 2 people as a starter seemed a bit overpriced for Ginza. The chicken breast with leek sauce was surprisingly tender despite being breast meat. The cheese mochi roll, which I ordered for the first time, was so delicious that I had to order more. Well, it's the New Year after all! I regret forgetting to collect the LINE points for this visit. It was a pleasant 90-minute stay and I enjoyed the meal. Thank you for the feast.

I entered during the lunchtime rush on Saturday. They asked if I wanted an appetizer. You can also order from the regular menu, not just the lunch menu. I ordered the smoked potato salad and the Fukumimi-yaki. The potato salad was quite generous in portion. You mash it yourself with a masher, so you can adjust it to your liking. It wasn't too crowded until I left.

I visited a yakitori restaurant located on Miyuki Street in Ginza 5-chome for lunch. The restaurant is located on the basement floor, where you take off your shoes before entering. There are many counter seats surrounding the kitchen, as well as plenty of table seats in the spacious interior. The lighting is dim, creating a casual and relaxed atmosphere typical of a yakitori restaurant. The lunch menu includes dishes such as chicken sukiyaki, motsu-nikomi, and oyakodon, but today I ordered my favorite, Chicken Nanban Set for ¥880. It arrived in about 5 minutes, accompanied by salad, miso soup, rice, and pickles. The chicken katsu with a generous amount of egg-rich tartar sauce had a crispy coating that stood out more than the chicken itself, giving a unique texture when eaten with the sauce and coating. It was delicious. You can also order from the evening menu. Unfortunately, the yakitori burger that caught my eye was sold out, so I added some regular yakitori to my order: neck (salt), tsukune, and fukumimi-yaki. The fukumimi-yaki is an original skewer wrapped in the skin of Oyama chicken breast and thigh meat. I have a feeling that they would taste even better when enjoyed with a beer. Despite the increase in high-end yakitori restaurants, I feel that this kind of place is just right. I would definitely visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal!

I had a delicious beef tripe stew set meal. The restaurant is located near Higashi-Ginza Station. I visited around 1 pm on a weekday. They had been closed for a while after the state of emergency was declared, but they have reopened now. They have also started selling bento boxes at the storefront. This time, I dined inside. I took off my shoes and went downstairs to enter the restaurant. Despite having a pub-like atmosphere, the service was polite. The beef tripe stew I ordered could have had a bit more flavor. I will try the chicken and egg rice bowl next time.

It's amazing!! I was a little worried it might be noisy based on the reviews, but when I went there, it was actually very calming! I sat at the counter seat on the edge, and it was spacious and everyone was enjoying their meal quietly, so I also felt relaxed after having a few sips of alcohol ☺️ The mackerel skewers were really delicious. I want to go there again.

I visited this restaurant for the first time after seeing it and being curious about it before. I ordered the Chicken Sukiyaki Set Meal for 1320 yen (discounted to 1188 yen with the app). It was served in about 5 minutes and came with hijiki, miso soup, raw egg, salad, and pickles in addition to the main dish. The miso soup was a simple one with seaweed and green onions. The sukiyaki included plenty of ingredients such as leeks, napa cabbage, chicken meatballs, fried tofu, and chicken meat, allowing me to enjoy both vegetables and meat. The chicken meatballs had a crispy texture, the chicken meat was tender, and the sweet and savory seasoning was delicious. The seasoning was on the sweeter side, but since the soy sauce was also strong, I felt that a lighter flavor would be better. The smell of the grilled chicken skewers being cooked in front of me was enticing, so I thought I would like to try the grilled chicken rice bowl or the oyakodon.

The izakaya restaurant in the basement of the building was also open for lunch. I couldn't resist the temptation of the menu with a photo in front of the building, with the words "ginger pork" catching my eye. Despite having eaten sweet and sour pork last night, I couldn't resist the allure of stir-fried pork. I took off my shoes and sat at the counter in the sunken kotatsu style. I ordered the "ginger pork set meal with premium pork" (tax included 990 yen), which came with a salad and pickles. The pork in the ginger pork dish was thinly sliced. The sauce was slightly salty. There was a separate small plate of mayonnaise, which when added on top made the rice more enjoyable. The rice bowl looked small, but it was enough. Hmm, I prefer pork belly with some fat.

The staff were very understanding and good when we were drinking, the place was quite empty which was nice, but then a group of middle-aged men suddenly showed up!! Even though it was empty, they tried to sit near our table!! Why there!? Are you crazy!? Don't you know about Corona!? But then the staff politely guided them to a table further away!! What thoughtful staff members!! I praised them!! In my mind, I gave them a standing ovation, they are truly amazing!! I'm already satisfied with just that!! The yakitori was delicious and everything else was great too, especially the onions were so tasty. It seems like they are temporarily closed, but I hope they will do well again. The staff are the best!!!!

Meeting in Ginza. After it's over, it's time for drinks. With a boss who loves sake, it's only natural to go to a place with delicious sake. At the drinking session, I just want to drink and chat. I wasn't too keen on using Tabelog, but there was a request from another person at the table. Also, it was my first time visiting this place, so I posted impulsively. The restaurant is located on the basement floor. The lanterns at the storefront, the sake bottles on the stairs, and the welcoming atmosphere set a nice mood. The main seating is at the counter, but there are also cozy seats with curtains for two people. We were seated at a spacious sunken kotatsu-style table. It's Friday night, so finding a seat in the Ginza and Shimbashi area is quite a challenge. We barely managed to secure a seat with a last-minute reservation. Today, there were four of us. The appetizer was cream cheese and crackers. The crackers were refillable. Now, the main dish is skewers. The chicken skewers had firm and flavorful meat. They paired well with sake. We enjoyed some popular brands like Niigata's "Shinsei," which pleased our boss from Akita. Other brands like "Saku" and "Nadam" were also easy to drink. The selection of sake wasn't extensive, but they were all delicious. It's a bit disappointing that they serve it in a tokkuri, so you can't see the brand. But trust the restaurant and your own taste buds. Hmm, delicious. You can't help but be convinced. The split bill was relatively reasonable for Ginza. Drinking in Tokyo makes you worry about catching the last train home, but in a way, it prevents you from drinking too much. Cheers.

A few months ago, I visited this place based on the recommendation of a Ginza Six store clerk. It was my second visit to Fukumimi-san, who caters to both my boyfriend, who doesn't drink alcohol but wants to eat a lot, and me, who wants to drink more than eat. As always, the food was delicious. Among the dishes we tried, my favorites were: - "Fukumimi" skewers: a delicious dish made by wrapping chicken breast and thigh meat in chicken skin and grilling it until crispy. A must-try. - Chicken soup and grilled rice ball set: the rich chicken soup paired with a grilled rice ball (also available as a single order) is my personal recommendation. It goes well with shochu. - Fig and mascarpone small dish: a seasonal limited edition dessert-like sweet treat that brings happiness. - Shishamo marinated in vinegar: also seasonal, with just the right sweet and sour taste. I wanted more of this. - Tender chicken breast in scallion soy sauce: the most delicious dish! Moist and flavorful, with a soy sauce-based sauce that is savory and fragrant, giving it a main dish feel. The chicken at this yakitori place is truly delicious! We also tried salted cabbage, Cholegi salad, spicy bean sprouts, cucumber and meat miso, as well as cartilage in addition to the Fukumimi skewers. I can't wait to go back!

I went with my colleagues to a yakitori restaurant that mainly serves beef skewers and grilled chicken. We ordered dishes like potato salad, deep-fried tofu, and mentaiko-wrapped in dashi while choosing our yakitori skewers. We ordered all at once! The grilled chicken cartilage was delicious.

The meals I ordered were all delicious, and the sake that paired with the yakitori was satisfying. I especially loved the onion fry! The hospitality of the staff, with their attentive service and lovely smiles, made dining and drinking there very comfortable. I definitely want to go back and would recommend this izakaya to others!

Yakitori restaurant in front of GINZA SIX. Despite being right in front of a busy intersection on the back side, it doesn't stand out much because it doesn't offer lunch. I've tried coming here a few times on weekdays, but it's always full. Finally, I was able to come this time. When you open the heavy door and go down to the basement, you are warmly greeted with "irasshaimase!" Taking off your shoes, you sit at the counter seats. In front of you is a grilling station but not smoky. I've been to Misato-san and Non-chan's places before, but this one is clean and lively, appealing to younger people, with a Shibuya vibe? This type of place in Ginza is a first for me. They were already out of neck meat, so we had tsukune, momo, negima, etc. Priced at around 160-200 yen per skewer, it's not cheap but within an acceptable range. Compared to the high-end places in Ginza, it's much friendlier. Everything was juicy and delicious. The potato salad comes with a masher for you to mix it yourself. I found it a bit of a hassle, but it looks nice and it's an interesting idea. I like that it has iburi-gakko in it! They offer a variety of appetizers, not just yakitori, making it a fun place to choose dishes with friends. It's not as high-end as the expensive places in Ginza, but not as casual as the under-the-train-tracks spots in Shinbashi, more like a slightly upscale izakaya. If you're looking for that kind of place, it's perfect. It seems rare in Ginza and seems very convenient. It might be just right to bring young colleagues from work. Since it's always crowded, it's probably best to make a reservation in advance for groups of three or more. The entire restaurant is non-smoking, but you can smoke outside at the entrance.

I was recommended by a friend and visited this place. The counter seats surround the charcoal grilling area, with additional secluded seats for two and regular table seating. I tried the "Fukumimi Skewers", Mochi Rolls, Kuntama Potato Salad, Grilled Rice Ball & Chicken Soup Set, and Honey Matcha Highball. The "Fukumimi Skewers" are a specialty, made with chicken breast and thigh wrapped in chicken skin, creating a unique and delicious dish. The sweetness of the skin's fat adds a nice touch to the flavor. The potato salad is mashed with your preferred texture, and the smoked egg enhances its richness. The grilled rice ball and chicken soup make a satisfying finale, as you can enjoy the rice ball in the soup for a comforting porridge-like experience. The lively atmosphere in the restaurant might be a hit or miss for some, but the staff's effort to please customers, like providing hand warmers at the end, is truly appreciated.

I went to an interesting restaurant on the basement floor. It is called a yakitori bistro, but it is actually more like an izakaya. There are semi-private rooms available, but it is still an izakaya at its core. The main dishes are yakitori skewers, mainly focusing on chicken. The restaurant is stylish, but the yakitori is quite ordinary. Well, in Ginza, this level of quality is probably considered ordinary. So, I ordered some different dishes like horse sashimi to add some variety. There wasn't any big excitement, just a typical yakitori izakaya experience.

We ordered the Akinochi (1,108 yen), Agedashi Tofu (605 yen), Chicken thigh (286 yen), Chicken heart (220 yen), Chicken tail (286 yen), and Fukumimi-yaki (407 yen). The Fukumimi-yaki is an original skewer dish made with chicken thigh and breast wrapped in skin. Next, we had the Aged Beef Tongue (660 yen) and the Chicken tail, which was so delicious that we ordered another one.
