I visited for lunch. It was a weekday, but it was quite crowded and I had to wait for about 30 minutes after arriving around 12:40. The interior of the restaurant was spacious and very clean. Even though I was dining alone, they seated me at a large table, allowing me to enjoy a leisurely lunch. I ordered 100g of meat, which seemed like more than that, and it was very delicious. The appetizers were also good. I would like to visit again.

On a scorching hot weekend during the Bon festival in the 23rd year of the Heisei era, I had some errands to run at Ginza Mitsukoshi and decided to go by car. It took nearly 30 minutes just to get into the parking lot, so I rushed to have lunch before it got too crowded. The restaurant on the 11th floor of the new building was already starting to fill up, so I took the elevator to the 12th floor. I decided to go here to maintain my strength with some meat! There were only 4 seats left at the counter, as all the table seats were already taken. I ordered the grilled domestic black wagyu beef from the lunch menu. There were choices of 100g or 150g, lean or marbled, and a half & half option. It came with today's soup, salad, rice, red pickles, and dessert. The soup of the day was corn soup, which was honestly mediocre, and the salad was at a family restaurant level. The meat, however, was delicious, and I ended up having half a bowl of rice as a refill. The dessert was decent. Overall, it was an okay experience.

I parked my car at Mitsukoshi's parking lot and decided to drop some money at Mitsukoshi, so I randomly entered a sukiyaki restaurant. It had been a long time since I had sukiyaki, so it was a blissful moment! The sukiyaki restaurant has its main branch in Kyoto, so the sukiyaki was of course Kansai style. First, the meat is cooked well and then sugar is added before adding the broth. It's like art. The sizzling sound and the melting meat mixed with the luxurious egg in my mouth were just amazing!!

Visited at 2:00 PM on a regular day. Surprisingly, there were 4.5 groups of customers for that time. We had shabu-shabu, Matsusaka beef set. The appetizers were incredibly luxurious and delicious. They used plenty of seasonal ingredients, making us feel the essence of spring. Enjoying the season through food is wonderful. The balance of marbling and lean meat in the main meat dish was exquisite. It was tender and flavorful, not too fatty or tough. The first slice of meat was shabu-shabu by the staff, and it tasted even better when someone else prepared it. The rice was surprisingly glossy and had the perfect texture. The quality of the rice was outstanding, making us want to come back just for the rice. We also ordered grilled meat, which was fragrant, tender, sweet with fat, and perfectly seasoned. Both the meat and non-meat dishes were of high quality, not what you would expect for a lunch menu. The higher price was definitely justified by the experience. The staff all spoke in Kyoto dialect, which was refreshing and added to the overall experience. Thank you for the meal!

I had tonkatsu for lunch. Mitsukoshi on a weekday was quite crowded, and the customers were mostly older. The prices are high, but the taste is delicious. The tonkatsu in particular is elegant and not at all heavy, very tasty. However, it costs nearly 5000 yen for 150 grams, so the cost performance feels quite poor. Overall, it seems like the main target is couples in their 50s and above.

I made a reservation for an early dinner at 5:30 pm on a weekday. The restaurant was easy to find inside Mitsukoshi department store. It was lucky that it was not crowded due to the early timing. The appetizers were already luxurious with vegetable jelly, fish, meat sushi, and more. Then came the main dish, sukiyaki. The sukiyaki meat was surprisingly large, almost 10 times the size of regular meat! Just one slice was enough to make me full. The staff cooked the meat for us. We sprinkled about 3 spoonfuls of sugar, poured sauce, dipped it in beaten egg, and enjoyed it. The meat was incredibly tender with a rich sweetness, truly delicious. The balance of rice, red miso soup, and pickles was perfect. The rice was shiny and plump, the red miso soup was flavorful and comforting. I had two large slices of sukiyaki and was so full that I couldn't have more. For dessert, we had a fruit-filled dessert, warm tea, and black tea, which completed the satisfying dinner. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

This is a famous longstanding sukiyaki restaurant in Kyoto. They have branches in Marunouchi Building and Ginza Mitsukoshi in Tokyo. You can enjoy Kyoto-style sukiyaki cooked with zarameshi. I chose the Matsukoshi course which allows you to taste both premium sirloin and lean meat. First, I had the appetizer of lily root mousse with salmon roe and caviar, which was elegant and delicious. The second appetizer included Wagyu beef tataki, simmered daikon radish, scallop with mentaiko, and seasonal vegetables, all of which were excellent. Then, the preparation for sukiyaki began. First, the marbled sirloin was grilled with zarameshi and then the broth was added. The meat was of high quality and melted in the mouth. Afterwards, vegetables, tofu, gluten, and shirataki noodles were added to complete the sukiyaki, which we could then serve ourselves from the pot. The zarameshi-based broth was slightly sweet, which I personally enjoyed. It was my first time trying burdock root in sukiyaki, and I surprisingly found it delicious. I ordered an additional roast beef, but they didn't have it, so they served me Wagyu beef in sweet miso marinade instead. It had a lot of marbling but melted quickly and was very delicious. The rice was light, but they offered seconds, which went well with the sukiyaki. For dessert, I had a yogurt-flavored fruit cocktail with La France pear, Shine Muscat grapes, and persimmon, which was refreshing. This restaurant is highly recommended for those looking to enjoy high-quality sukiyaki!

I had a meal at Ginza Mitsukoshi for the first time in a while. I checked out the 11th floor, but every place had a bit of a line, so I skipped it and went to the 12th floor. There weren't many people here, so I had trouble deciding where to eat, but I ended up choosing a restaurant that offered shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, as well as grilled dishes like tonkatsu. It was lunchtime, so I decided to try the tonkatsu instead of the shabu-shabu. After trying the appetizer, I got a sense of what the meal would be like. I took a sip of the corn soup and realized how amazing the soup at my usual restaurant is. The salad had a bit too much dressing for my taste. As for the main dish, the tonkatsu... it looked quite different from the photo, or was it just me? Honestly, it was a bit too fatty for my liking. I had to ask for extra wasabi because I couldn't eat it without it. I thought having grated ponzu sauce or something similar would have made it easier to eat. For dessert, I got a jar of fruits with yogurt-like substance, but I thought having regular ice cream would have been better.

The atmosphere and the meat were both really good! We were unsure about what to eat for dinner, but my husband recommended this place as being delicious. The appetizers were lovely and the meat was tender and tasty... I had never really tried sukiyaki before, but now I have a craving for it.

It is a meat shop in Kyoto. I chose the sukiyaki course as the main dish, which includes options like sukiyaki, oil grilling, and shabu-shabu. The sukiyaki course included a delicious potato soup with chilled beef, a flavorful appetizer with roast beef and kumquats, and a thick slice of sukiyaki prepared by the staff. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the overall experience was enjoyable. They also offered Kyoto sake. I had a relaxing time enjoying delicious meat.

I didn't know that Moritaya was located on the 11th floor of Mitsukoshi. It opened in 2019. The atmosphere inside the store is calm and feels like a different world from the hustle and bustle of the department store. I visited the store around 1 pm on a weekday and ordered the Wagyu Deluxe Assorted Box (3850 yen). There were about 3 other groups besides me in the relatively empty store. The prices are on the higher side, so the customers were mostly older. The first dish was seared Isaki fish topped with salmon roe and spring vegetables topped with roast beef. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was delicious, raising expectations. The second dish was a green salad with carrot dressing. The main dish was the Wagyu beef box. The menu lists it as 60g of domestic black wagyu steak and 60g of sweet and spicy simmered beef, but it actually had 100g of the simmered beef, making it quite filling. You can enjoy it like a hitsumabushi by adding condiments and broth to change the flavor, which is a nice touch. The only downside was that the simmered beef was a bit dry. Considering the clientele, the amount of meat was excessive, and a softer meat option would have been better. Half the amount of meat and using sukiyaki-style beef would be a better choice. The black wagyu steak was quite fatty, so a leaner cut would have been more refreshing. It seems like the menu doesn't quite match the relatively older clientele. For dessert, there was a jar of fruit including pineapple, strawberry, kiwi, and blueberry, which was refreshing. Since I made a wrong menu choice this time, I would like to try a different dish next time.

Appetizer, today's soup, selected wagyu beef dish, premium sirloin steak, today's salad, rice, soup, and Kyoto pickles, dessert. The atmosphere is welcoming even for families with children. It may not be suitable for those looking for a more traditional and sophisticated setting. The assorted meat in the appetizer was a bit tough, but the soup had just the right amount of saltiness and was delicious. The main steak was very tender, generous in portion, and good value for money. I plan to try the sukiyaki course next time.

I have visited the Kyoto main store and the JR Kyoto Isetan store, and I was looking forward to visiting the Ginza Mitsukoshi store (opened in 2019). The interior of the store has a traditional Japanese decoration that is calming for Japanese people and inviting for foreigners. The appetizers were beautifully presented, and the sukiyaki was made with a special sauce using sugar. The meat was just the right thickness, tender, and delicious. Due to the impact of COVID-19, the store was almost empty, so I felt a bit guilty enjoying plenty of wine. The view of Ginza from the large windows was also lovely. I believe it would be a perfect place for business entertainment or a special date.

Located on the 12th floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi, Moriya-ya is a restaurant with a long history, established in the second year of the Meiji era as Kyoto's first beef shop (Moritaya Moritaya). There are other branches in Kyoto, such as Shijo Inokumamoto, Kiyamachi, and JR Kyoto Isetan. Their first store in Tokyo is Moriya-ya Tokyo Marunouchi store on the 35th floor of Marunouchi Building. I received a coupon that can be used at Mitsukoshi Isetan Group, so my friend and I visited for lunch on a Sunday. The calm interior offers counter seats, table seats, semi-private rooms, terrace seats, and more. - Wagyu Ayaka Gozen: ¥4,180 - Domestic Black Wagyu Grilled Steak: ¥3,850 - Gin Ape - Ginza Appetizer: ¥1,000 each We couldn't have alcohol, so we had ginger ale with our meal. Despite being known as a meat shop, the tempura fried in front of us was delicious. The Wagyu seared sushi in the Gin Ape set was exceptional. With a drink included for a total of ¥1,000, it's a great deal. When they start serving alcohol, I might come back for a casual drink. The total bill for two people was ¥10,030, but we used a ¥10,000 coupon, so we only paid ¥30.

I visited on Sunday afternoon. I had the $60 Sukiyaki Take Course. I enjoyed the 150g of lean meat. The appetizer was nice, but I personally prefer just the meat. The staff cooked it perfectly. The first meat slice was well done! Rice and red miso soup were also included, and you can have refills. From the second meat slice, vegetables like Kujo green onions and Awaji Island onions are served. The sweetness of Kujo green onions is amazing. Even with just onions, the rice goes down smoothly. I ended up having 3 bowls of rice. I really wanted to have more laughs. The cost performance is very good! I enjoyed it very much.

Hey there! You can enjoy Kyoto's famous restaurant in Tokyo. I used to visit the original store in Kyoto every year, so it was nostalgic to dine here! The sweet flavor with sugar is just like in Kyoto. You can quickly grill and eat delicious meat. It's so tasty that getting seconds is a must!

Initially, I was considering another shabu-shabu restaurant but I noticed Moriya's place and decided to visit with my companion to try their thick cuts of meat. It was still early in the evening, so there was only one other customer there. We ordered a course that mainly focused on the meat, with not many other side dishes. The restaurant has large windows, offering a nice view. The food was delicious, just like in Kyoto. My companion also seemed satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

This is Moritaya. I remember being impressed by the sukiyaki (with sprinkled zaramé) at Marunouchi Building's Moritaya before. They had a store at Ginza Mitsukoshi, so I decided to visit for lunch. Despite it being a Sunday at noon after the lifting of the COVID-19 self-restraint, the restaurant area at Ginza Mitsukoshi was empty. They had a variety of meat dishes, but I ordered the Black Wagyu Beef Cutlet Set Meal (3500 yen + tax). It may not be the highest quality cut due to the price, but it was carefully prepared and cooked perfectly. Moritaya's meat is really delicious. The appetizer of Wagyu shabu-shabu and sesame-dressed Kamo eggplant was also very tasty. Thank you for the meal.

The staff are friendly, and the lunch menu is reasonably priced with good portion sizes. However, the grilled steak was a bit too fatty. I visited with a friend on a holiday afternoon. I ordered the Japanese Black Wagyu Grilled Steak for 3500 yen (excluding tax), which came with appetizers, soup, salad, rice, pickles, and dessert. My friend ordered the Japanese Black Wagyu Grilled Steak for 2500 yen (excluding tax), which came with soup, salad, rice, pickles, and dessert. We also had a bottle of Chateau Mercian Hosaka Muscat Bailey A for 1000 yen (excluding tax). The mushroom potage soup was delicious, with just the right amount of richness and saltiness. The roast beef with miso sauce was decent, but I couldn't taste much of the miso flavor. The salad had a light Japanese dressing with thinly sliced radish, which was a nice touch. However, the main dish came out too quickly, before we had finished our salads. The meat was too fatty for my liking, and I regretted not choosing the leaner option. My friend enjoyed their leaner steak. The dessert was lovely, a small portion of jelly and fruits that was refreshing. The staff were pleasant, but I hope they consider the meat quality and timing of serving in the future. Overall, it was not bad, and I may consider returning in the future if these aspects are improved.

I visited a renowned beef restaurant in Kyoto, which opened on the 12th floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi after a French restaurant. The restaurant has a simple and elegant table arrangement typical of department stores, and you can enjoy sukiyaki and shabu-shabu on the terrace. The lunch menu includes grilled beef and steak, while the dinner menu offers sukiyaki and shabu-shabu. Today, I ordered my favorite dish, the Japanese Black Wagyu Beef Stew Lunch for ¥3,000 (excluding tax). The meal started with a refreshing appetizer of beef and spinach rolled in yuba, reminiscent of Kyoto. Next came a simple and fresh salad, leading up to the main dish - a Japanese Black Wagyu Beef Stew with a demiglace sauce and a double miso sauce of red miso and Saikyo miso. The stew was garnished with a variety of colorful vegetables, making it visually appealing. The cut used was Maesuji, which had a slightly firm texture and a mild flavor. It would have been nice if the stew had a stronger presence, but when eaten with delicious Kyoto-grown Koshihikari rice, it provided a delightful dining experience. The red miso soup with water shield added a touch of the current season, making me realize how quickly time flies. Additionally, you can enjoy free refills of rice and soup. The service provided by the staff in kimonos was elegant, making it a lovely lunchtime experience. I look forward to returning for their lunch steak. Thank you for the delicious meal!
