I love motsunabe! I love horse sashimi! A must-see!!!!!! I was taken by a friend to Kimuraya Honten, located just a short walk from Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit! I often feel uneasy when going to a new restaurant for the first time, but... the seats were spacious and the atmosphere of the staff was great! I didn't feel bothered by the other tables and our conversation flowed smoothly!! I was delighted to see a wide variety of my favorite dishes such as horse sashimi and sashimi on the menu! It was fun to choose what to eat!! Each bite was truly enjoyable! Among my other favorite dishes were the teppanyaki "Yakishabu shabu" with egg soy sauce dip, which was delicious and the vegetables were so tasty! I also recommend the "Pane Chicken - Mao Zedong Style". It's spicy chicken dipped in cheese inside bread, and the combination was amazing! The cheese stretching out adds an entertaining element and boosts the excitement!! And of course, we had the motsunabe! I chose the miso flavor, and it was exactly what I was looking for! It was consistently delicious!! Everything was so good that I ended up eating too much ^^ (laughs) Next time I go, I plan to try different dishes too!

I have heard that this famous chain restaurant serves delicious food, especially their motsunabe. I ordered both the soy sauce and tonkotsu flavors, and they were both delicious. The preparation of the motsu was well done. I would like to try motsunabe in Hakata someday. But before that, I want to visit Ten Sushi.

I had a drinking party at a different shop in the Yaesu direction of Tokyo Station, and decided to have a second party, so I searched for a shop on the spot. The interior of the shop was clean and had a sense of openness. We ordered some snacks and drinks randomly, but they were surprisingly delicious. I thought it was a good restaurant to know. Thank you for the meal!

I made a reservation for four friends to visit the restaurant at 6:30 pm. We arrived at Tokyo Station with plenty of time, but there was construction along the way, so we had to take a detour. The GPS also didn't work properly and we got lost, causing us to be almost 10 minutes late for our reservation. Some of our group also arrived late, so we ended up ordering a la carte. We ordered hot pot, sashimi, and fried food, but the dishes were just average, like those from a regular chain restaurant.

The lunch was delicious, so I decided to come for dinner as well. The restaurant is located in a small alley between Nihonbashi and Tokyo Station, closer to Nihonbashi I would say. It's easy to find. I made a reservation and arrived at the restaurant. The interior has a bright and traditional Japanese atmosphere, with counter seats, table seats, private booth seats, and sunken kotatsu seats, surprisingly spacious. We were seated at the counter. We ordered: yellowtail sashimi, chicken nanban, vinegar tripe, pork belly, chicken head, gizzard, two draft beers, a mega highball, Hidaka sake, Shura sake, and Abe Kan sake. The dishes were decent and delicious. The sashimi had a nice texture, and the vinegar tripe was especially tasty. The total cost was around 8000 yen, so the cost performance was average. I would definitely come back again. They don't serve lunch at the moment, but it was quite good. I hope they bring it back in the future. Cheers to Manager J!

Kimuraya @ Yaesu This was my third visit to Kimuraya in Yaesu. We made a reservation for 6 people to go drinking, and this time we were seated on the second floor, which was a surprise because I didn't know they had a second floor. We had to leave the restaurant and take the elevator to the second floor of the building. The interior was different from the first floor, with a Showa retro izakaya style that was a bit surprising! The private room-style seats were comfortable. The course was 3,000 yen all-you-can-drink, and we also had all-you-can-eat motsu nabe (offal hot pot) and pork and beef shabu-shabu for 2 hours! This was a great deal! We also had all-you-can-eat vegetables, karaage (fried chicken), and french fries. The 6 of us ate heartily and enjoyed a reasonable meal. Thank you for the feast.

After work, I went to "Kimuraya Honten Tokyo Station Yaesu J" where you can enjoy Kyushu cuisine! I had aged fresh sashimi, horse sashimi, motsunabe, and chicken wing gyoza. The restaurant is located about a 3-4 minute walk from the Yaesu Chuo exit of Tokyo Station. The first floor has a spacious counter seating area with tables lined up. The second floor has private rooms of various sizes that can be used depending on the number of people. First, cheers! I started with a lemon sour♪ The aged fresh sashimi platter includes Kanpachi, Tai, and Shimaaji. The sashimi, which has been aged to concentrate the umami and increase the elasticity, paired well with sake. The assorted grilled skewers include chicken bonjiri, momo, seseri, mini tomato wrapped in meat, myoga wrapped in meat, and eringi skewers. The variety of skewers, including meat and vegetable wraps, were delicious! The horse sashimi platter consists of three types: lean meat, tategami, and marbled meat. The fresh horse sashimi paired well with Kyushu's sweet soy sauce, raw garlic, and ginger. Next, I ordered three dishes that go well with beer! The garlic shrimp was crispy, and the garlic sauce and avocado dip were delicious. The chicken wing gyoza with a crispy wing was flavorful. The back ribs, Mao Zedong style, were fried to a crisp and topped with fried garlic, chili peppers, cumin, and dried shrimp. The beer went well with the spicy and flavorful ribs. After finishing the beer, I switched to the premium fresh tomato sour. Finally, I finished with the authentic Hakata motsunabe. The motsunabe with salt was chosen to bring out the flavor of the ingredients. The combination of cabbage, leeks, burdock, and plump motsu in the soup was perfectly balanced. The sweet cabbage and juicy motsu were especially delicious! For dessert, I had kiwi gelato. Overall, the motsunabe, with its garlic flavor, was delicious. I recommend going the day before your day off... (laughs)

I visited "Kimuraya Honten" located right by Tokyo Station in Yaesu. They offer Hakata motsunabe, shabu-shabu, and raw lamb Jingisukan. The restaurant's dishes, atmosphere, and recommended points can be found on Instagram, LINE official account, and Facebook for smartphones. For PC, please check the URL under "This review was posted from a blog."

Kimuraya is a bar located in Yaesu, about a 5-minute walk from Tokyo Station. This was my second visit to Kimuraya. The interior is stylish, with table seats and counter seats in the front, and tatami seating in the back. This time, we opted for the 2-hour all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat Genghis Khan or Samgyupsal for 2,500 yen! It's a great deal! We chose the Samgyupsal course. A cast iron pot is placed on the table with thick-cut pork belly on two tiers and a vegetable assortment on one tier. You can also add items like garlic, corn, and bean sprouts. It's fun to cook and eat together! The drink options for all-you-can-drink are also quite varied. It was a very satisfying drinking party! Be careful as the oil tends to splash when cooking the pork belly, and the smell can stick to your suit, but there's not much you can do about it (laughs).

I had dinner with Aoi Eri-chan after a long time at Kimuraya Sohonten Yaesu Store! The interior of the restaurant was very beautiful. We started with cabbage as a starter and made a toast! We had a lot to catch up on, and it felt like we talked a lot after a long time. I remember the first live performance we did together in Ehime. Kimuraya Sohonten has different menus at each store, which is fun! We ordered a teppan menu for the first time! It was grilled shabu-shabu! We, two girls, finished it all haha. The tomatoes were juicy and refreshing. I tried it for the first time! Pane Chicken - Mao Zedong-style cheese was so melty and delicious. Grilled shabu-shabu with egg sauce was amazing! It was so creamy and tasty! The horse sashimi was also delicious! A three-variety platter - lean meat, mane, marbled meat. But it was light and easy to eat. And we also had motsunabe! Miso flavor! It was delicious even when we added some spiciness for a flavor change. It was warm and comforting. For dessert, we had Tapioca Milk Tea Affogato. It was a new menu! I felt comforted by the meat.

Kimuraya Main Store @ Yaesu, Yaesu Drinking District is an izakaya located in the Yaesu area. The atmosphere is elegant and the interior of the restaurant has counter seats, table seats, and even private rooms at the back. When I thought it would be fully booked, we were able to enter as the customers were changing. The menu offers a variety of dishes, from fried foods to fresh sashimi. The course menu offers all-you-can-eat options like shabu-shabu and Genghis Khan, which are great deals, but we opted for the motsunabe hot pot! It was incredibly delicious! This is a great place to use for a drinking party!

Recently, the weather has been bad and it feels like winter has returned, so I felt like eating a warm hot pot. The other day, after work, I went to Kimuraya Honten at Tokyo Station (*˙꒳˙*)‧⁺✧︎* Kimuraya Honten is a restaurant that specializes in authentic Kyushu Hakata-style motsunabe, using carefully selected fresh domestic motsu and vegetables from specific regions in Japan. When you enter the restaurant, you can see cherry blossoms decorations, giving a sense of spring (˘͈ᵕ˘͈ ) Inside the restaurant, there are table seats, counter seats, cozy box seats, and tatami seats, so you can choose according to your preference, which is nice (*´艸｀*)! I started with a toast with my favorite Mio sparkling sake, which is sweet and easy to drink. The appetizer was cabbage. This restaurant offers a wide variety of motsunabe, with a total of 13 types available (*˙꒳˙*)‧⁺✧︎* I had a hard time choosing between the classic salt, soy sauce, or miso base, or trying a new flavor, but this time I chose soy sauce. You can add various ingredients and flavors to the hot pot, so you can create your own favorite hot pot, which is great! I added chicken thigh meat, needle ginger, bean sprouts, and mentaiko to my soy sauce motsunabe (*´艸｀*) I also ordered cheese and whole green yuzu pepper as additional flavors! The whole green yuzu pepper is delicious (*´╰╯`๓)♬ It is made by grinding only "yuzu," "red pepper," and "salt" from the long-established "Kawatsu family" in Maetsue Village, Oita Prefecture! Highly recommended. The original motsunabe with lots of ingredients was very satisfying (*˙꒳˙*)‧⁺✧︎* The sashimi of yellowtail was plump and delicious! There were also various types of sashimi available (˘͈ᵕ˘͈ ) The assorted pickles were soaked well and were refreshing to eat (˘͈ᵕ˘͈ ) Mentaiko and salmon roe rolled omelet The luxurious amount of salmon roe on top is a perfect match with the rolled omelet! Winged gyoza The crispy winged gyoza that spills over the plate! The chewy skin is delicious, and the juicy meat juice is tasty (˘͈ᵕ˘͈ ) Be sure to try the crispy and chewy texture! This restaurant has a wide range of menu options, and the grilled dishes were also excellent! Asparagus-wrapped in meat, enoki mushrooms wrapped in meat, okra wrapped in meat I seem to like meat-wrapped dishes (*´艸｀*) lol The food is delicious, and the sake goes well with it. There were also interestingly named sake options! For dessert, I had the Apple Tart a la Mode The hot apple tart with sweet vanilla ice cream is the best (*˙꒳˙*)‧⁺✧︎* This is a recommended restaurant for those who want to enjoy motsunabe and Kyushu cuisine.

There are 13 types of motsunabe at Kimuraya Honpo, located near Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit. I was torn between the Tomato Cream Motsunabe and the Coriander Motsunabe, but I ended up choosing the Coriander Motsunabe as I wanted to try a motsunabe that can only be found here. - Coriander Motsunabe (serves 1): ¥1,380 (minimum order for 2 people) The motsu, cabbage, burdock, and other vegetables are cooked, then lemon and coriander are added. The refreshing soup with plenty of vegetables and large, chewy motsu pieces make it a trendy and visually appealing hotpot. It felt more like a beauty and health hotpot with a lot of vitamins and collagen for metabolism. To accompany the meal, I had: - Premium Malt's Medium Draft Beer: ¥490 - Limited Special Horse Sashimi (premium fatty cut): ¥1,980 - Cod Roe and Overflowing Salmon Roe Rolled Omelette: ¥780 - Morning-Steamed Grilled Pork Assortment: ¥580 (limited quantity) - Premium Lemon Sour: ¥480 - Beef Sirloin Cutlet: ¥780 - Maker's Mark Highball: ¥780 - Kimuraya's Sweet Potato Sticks: ¥480 Every dish was delicious, and I especially enjoyed the variety of flavors. The restaurant also offers party courses. If you exit Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit and head straight past Tsubakiya Coffee, then turn right at the first crossroads, you will see Kimuraya Honpo. It's located at Yaesu Yamakawa Building 1F, 3-3-3 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

This restaurant offers dishes made with carefully selected fresh domestic beef and vegetables from specific regions in Kyushu. It is located a 4-minute walk from JR Tokyo Station Yaesu Central Exit. Cross the big street in front of the Yaesu Central Exit and turn left at the next traffic light. Turn right at the second alley and you will find it on the 1st floor of the Yaesu Yamakawa Building. The appetizer is a generous serving of cabbage. On this cold day, I started with a hot water mixed drink. The yakitori included chicken tenderloin, chicken thigh with green onion, and lettuce wrapped in meat. The chicken thigh with green onion had a strong impact, but surprisingly the saltiness was mild. I chose the dashimaki tamago with mentaiko and ikura over the tempting Italian veal harami Rossini with foie gras. The veal was tender, and the rich sauce with foie gras melted smoothly in the mouth. The assorted steamed vegetables with white cabbage, burdock root, celery, and cucumber were a perfect palate cleanser. A friend ordered the Hakata street stall grilled ramen, a Fukuoka specialty. It was our first time trying grilled ramen, and it had a unique flavor where the soup soaked into the noodles. It was a hit with our group, which included first-time eaters like myself. The restaurant was already 70% full, with groups of office workers stopping by after work and tourists near Tokyo Station adding to the lively atmosphere in the tatami seating area.

I came to Tokyo Station with my drinking buddies! It's a convenient location for meeting up as it's within walking distance from both Tokyo Station and Nihonbashi Station. The restaurant has two floors, but we were directed to the first floor because smoking is only allowed on the second floor. We started with a lemon sour for a toast! We paired it with luxury wagyu beef shabu-shabu in sea urchin broth. The melt-in-your-mouth beef dipped in sea urchin broth soup was absolutely delicious! As it was cold that day, we switched to shochu with hot water. We also ordered crab cream croquettes, which were so tasty that we couldn't stop drinking. The menu strongly recommended trying the motsunabe (offal hot pot) at this restaurant, so we decided to have it as our main dish. With 13 different flavors to choose from, we were torn between options like green curry and cilantro lemon, but we played it safe and ordered the jaw broth flavor. The broth was so flavorful that you could even drink it on its own! The vegetables were cooked to perfection. We were thinking about how to finish the meal when we saw the Fukuoka street stall-style yakisoba on the menu and decided to give it a try. It was seasoned like tonkotsu ramen and stir-fried, a common dish at Fukuoka street stalls. It was my first time trying it, and it was incredibly delicious! The slightly junky vibe kept me drinking more and more... haha. There were plenty of menu options suitable for drinking parties, such as all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu, and the spacious tatami rooms would be great for large gatherings.

I was invited by a drinking friend to go to "Kimuraya Honten," which is about a 5-minute walk from Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station. Thanks to the spacious table with a sunken kotatsu, we were able to order a lot of food. They have a Mega Jockey Lemon Sour, which I love because I can drink it slowly. The motsunabe is delicious, but there are so many other menu items that it's hard to decide! The grabbing edamame is quite interesting. It's a great opportunity for men with big hands to shine, of course! Thanks to being served a lot, I felt quite full from the edamame! The uni dashi shabu-shabu that was served next was incredibly luxurious with just the uni dashi alone. The three types of horse sashimi were all amazing, each with its own unique flavor. Personally, I like the horse fat sashimi. The dashimaki tamago with plenty of mentaiko and ikura was overflowing with flavor. The dashimaki tamago was fluffy and the dashi seeped out, creating an irresistible sensation. The shirako tempura was a dish I definitely wanted to try when I saw the menu. It was undeniably delicious! Fluffy and satisfying. Continuing without stopping, next up was the crab cream croquette. Crab cream croquettes are delicious when hot. I don't usually make them myself, so I felt very happy. The veal harami Rossini with foie gras was very satisfying to chew. The foie gras was juicy and enhanced the flavor even more. The vegetable yakitori included the classic tomato, shiso, and asparagus. I love tomato skewers. (I don't like large tomatoes, though.) The yellowtail sashimi changed the taste in my mouth with its fatty yellowtail. A pickled vegetable assortment was served as a palate cleanser. It was refreshing and delicious. Then, a tomato platter was brought out. Cute and easy-to-eat tomatoes were cut and enjoyed. The cream cheese soy sauce pickles were just right when combined with wasabi. I couldn't stop eating them. The chikuwa mentaiko isobeage was also delicious. The mentaiko did a great job. We were torn between many flavors for the motsunabe, but we chose the agodashi at the recommendation of my drinking friend. The soup was also delicious, and I wanted to finish it with various ingredients. Just when I thought we were done, another dish arrived. The yakitori ramen chosen by my drinking friend. It was my first time eating it, but it was delicious. I wish I had eaten it when I was more hungry (laughs). Everything was delicious, and it was a very satisfying night. Thank you to everyone who joined me.

On the weekend, the drinking destination was Yaesu. Today, I invited a drinking buddy and we came to "Kimuraya Main Store Tokyo Station Yaesu North Exit Store" in Yaesu! First, we toasted with a Mega Jockey Lemon Sour! The Mega Jockey Lemon Sour is great for gulping down. The appetizer was cabbage, perfect for nibbling. [Edamame Grabbing] The edamame at this restaurant is grabbable! With gloves on, you can grab a large portion of edamame. It has a satisfying crunch! [Sea Urchin Dashi Wagyu Shabu-Shabu] Shabu-shabu the Wagyu beef in sea urchin dashi broth, full of umami and the beef melts in your mouth, absolutely delicious. [Horse Sashimi Assortment] Fresh horse meat directly delivered from Kumamoto Aso's Senko Farm. The assortment includes: marbled, lean, and horse fat sashimi. The marbled sashimi has a melt-in-your-mouth texture that is irresistible. When it comes to Hakata, you have to have mentaiko! [Mentaiko Overflowing Salmon Roe Rolled Omelette] A rolled omelette topped with plenty of mentaiko and salmon roe, a striking combination and absolutely delicious! [Chikuwa Mentaiko Iso Tempura] Chikuwa tempura with mentaiko inside, a perfect accompaniment for drinks! The next drink is a Mega Jockey Highball! I love the satisfying feeling of drinking from a Mega Jockey glass. [Crab Cream Croquette] A creamy croquette with crab meat inside, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, it's a delightful texture. [Hakata Vegetable Skewers] A specialty of this restaurant, Hakata vegetable skewers. We tried two types: Asparagus wrapped in meat and Mini tomato wrapped in meat. The meat used here is Herb Sangen Pork, and the combination of tomato juice and pork juice in the Mini tomato skewer is incredibly delicious! [Yellowtail Sashimi] Yellowtail sashimi with just the right amount of fat, absolutely delicious! For an additional drink, we ordered Black Hoppy! A taste that never gets old, no matter how many times you drink it, I love it. [Hakata Offal Hot Pot (Agodashi)] This restaurant's offal hot pot comes in 13 different types of soup: salt, soy sauce, miso, sesame tantan, shrimp dashi, spicy miso, black ma oil, green curry, agodashi, tomato cream, tonkotsu, coriander, and hemp ramen. We chose the Tobio fish Agodashi today. The Agodashi soup has a refined flavor that can be enjoyed on its own. The hot pot is filled with plenty of chewy offal, allowing us to absorb plenty of collagen! [Hakata Street Stall Grilled Ramen] Grilled ramen, a staple of Hakata street stalls! It's a flavor you don't see much outside of Hakata, but I love it.

The cost performance of both drinks and meals is decent, making it a suitable place for those who find average izakayas a bit lacking. We spent around 5,000 yen for two people. Smoking is allowed throughout the restaurant. I visited on a Friday night and it was quite lively with many groups of people. It seems like making a reservation before visiting would be a good idea. One thing that bothered me was that they didn't specifically ask certain customers to leave when closing. While they did remind other customers frequently, it felt like those customers were treated as VIPs. The closing time was as listed on Tabelog, but this left a slightly unpleasant feeling. Other than that, I was satisfied with the experience. Thank you for the meal.

The motsu nabe here is cheap and average. I remember it being quite delicious when I had it at a different store before, but here it's just okay. The cleanliness of the restaurant is not great. The beer I ordered at the beginning was warm, which was disappointing. The interior of the restaurant was too hot, making me feel dizzy. It seemed like there was only one staff member running the whole place, without a call button, so it was uncomfortable and tiring to wait. The restaurant was noisy, so either you have to shout to get attention or just wait endlessly. Don't expect the staff to come take your order proactively. It was so hot inside that I could only take one bite of the nabe, and I regretted going to this place after a long time.

Had hot pot in Yaesu. Used it for a company drinking party. #YaesuActor

The other day, I used this place for a drinking party. I was very skeptical about the value of a "private room izakaya". I thought it would be better to spend money on raising the quality of ingredients or lowering the price, rather than on a "private room". I'm somewhat shy, but I don't really want to drink with just my friends in seclusion, I find it more interesting to interact with other customers a bit. I thought that if it's 5000 yen for a private room, I'd rather pay 4000 yen for a non-private room, or have them offer a 6000 yen private room experience for 5000 yen without the private room. However, in the end, this private room izakaya was quite good! It was around 5000 yen per person, but the motsu nabe and karaage, as well as other food and drinks, were quite delicious. It was nice that the all-you-can-drink bottled beer was Premium Malt. The ventilation, cleanliness, and staff service were all done properly. Overall, it's a place that even a stubborn old man who is against the concept of "private room izakaya" and prefers drinking at a small counter in a minor individual izakaya would approve of.
