A flagship store of aged beef known for its matured black-haired wagyu beef in Ginza. I recently dropped by the Shinjuku Sanchome store and liked it, so I decided to have a solo yakiniku lunch at the Ginza flagship store on the weekend. I thought it would be rude to visit without a reservation in Ginza, so I made a same-day reservation and visited. It seems that they are open continuously on weekends. I aimed for around 2:30 PM, thinking it would be less crowded by shifting the lunchtime a bit. I'm good at reading the atmosphere. The interior of the store has a spacious and luxurious feel typical of Ginza. It might be awkward if you don't dress appropriately. There are counter seats, creating an atmosphere suitable for solo yakiniku. The lunch menu ranges from 2,000 yen to reasonable prices, making it a hidden gem where you can enjoy in this luxurious setting. It's a sure bet for a Ginza date or business meeting. In fact, everyone except me seemed to be on a date or a business meeting. The men were like role models, settling the bill smartly while the women were away from their seats. Indeed, it's Ginza.
Aged Yonezawa beef premium course lunch (7,590 yen) includes kimchi, namul, premium black tongue, aged black tongue, lamp, ichibo geara, copchan kainomi, and large-sized premium sirloin cold noodles. There were also low-priced lunch yakiniku set meals available, but I wanted to try the aged black tongue at this famous aged beef restaurant, so I reserved a solo lunch course. The top course for lunch is 7,500 yen, which is reasonable in the heart of Ginza. First, I compared the aged black tongue and premium black tongue. The staff kindly offered to cook it for me, but I didn't want to bother the solo yakiniku master. Please provide the service for the couples in love. My grilling skills have been rapidly improving lately, so I'm not worried. And then I tasted it. Wow... this aged black tongue is so delicious... It has been aged for about three weeks, and the soft texture is unique to aged meat. I wanted to eat about 10 pieces of this... haha. While debating whether to get a refill of the black tongue, I first tried the rare cuts Ichibo and lamp. The thickness of the meat is impressive! When the meat is thin, the excitement decreases in yakiniku. This thickness is what you expect from a flagship store in Ginza. I used all my experience as a yakiniku master to concentrate fully and bring it to the best state. The rare cuts were also tender and flavorful due to the aging process. I was already very satisfied at this point. In the middle, there was a plate of hormone. Geara and copchan. Even the fatty parts were fresh and delicious. I think I've been enjoying hormone dishes a lot lately. Maybe because I've been eating at delicious restaurants all the time. I wanted white rice, but I don't think this is the kind of place that serves it, so I'll endure it. I'm good at reading the atmosphere. Next, I tried the rare cuts, kuri and kainomi. Perfectly transitioning to the lean cuts in the latter half. The sauce made with apples was also delicious. Hmm, I really want white rice, but I don't think this is the kind of place, right? haha. A man should endure it silently! haha The main dish was the large-sized premium loin. The staff cooked it for me. Honestly, I'm not confident, so I'm genuinely happy. Hmm... I also want white rice for this... but I'll endure it, crying and laughing. I finished with cold noodles. The soup was delicious. Before I knew it, there was no one else in the restaurant. It was a luxurious experience to have this luxurious space all to myself. I stayed for about 30 minutes. It was the best yakiniku experience in Ginza. I definitely want to visit again.
