Today's lunch in Shinbashi was a new discovery at a creative French teppanyaki restaurant near Shimbashi 3-chome run by Chef Hanasaki, who used to work at Hotel Okura. The restaurant normally has 6 counter seats, but due to COVID-19 measures, they are currently operating with only 4 seats, giving it a luxurious and private feel. I selected the Yamagata rice pork loin ginger sauté from the lunch menu (¥1,000 tax included). The meal started with a generous salad and side dish, followed by a flavorful and high-quality soup and rice. The main dish, the Yamagata rice pork loin ginger sauté, was cooked with care by the chef right in front of you and was absolutely delicious! The sauce was exceptional, showcasing the chef's French background. The grilled enoki mushrooms and turnips served as sides were also very good. With this kind of atmosphere, this kind of dish, and at this price, I will definitely try the ¥1,500 sirloin steak next time.

Exploring a lunch spot in the Shinbashi area. It is located on a narrow alley one street before Hibiya Street, where the fish market Kojiro is located. There is a curry shop called "Jiraiya" for men. The shop is known for its impressive beef bone head, and upon further research, it is a casual teppanyaki restaurant run by a chef with a prestigious background from Hotel Okura. The seating is limited to four counter seats, and reservations are recommended. I was able to secure a reservation for the next day and chose the Australian sirloin steak for 1500 yen. The atmosphere was lovely, and the vegetables were slowly cooked on a clean teppan grill. The eggplant, baby corn, bean sprouts, and eringi mushrooms were cooked to perfection before the sirloin steak was served. The steak was tender and juicy, seasoned with salt and pepper. The accompanying green salad and steamed pumpkin were fresh and delicious. The sesame sauce and rock salt provided were perfect, and the chef's seasoning was spot on. Overall, it was a great value for the price, and I highly recommend visiting this restaurant despite the limited seating. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

This lunch has quite a reputation. It's not my first time visiting. I arrived at 11:30 wanting a delicious lunch by myself, and I entered without a reservation. The French chef, who used to work at Hotel Okura, serves authentic teppanyaki dishes here. The sign in front of the restaurant says so. Only 4 people can sit at the counter, making it a blissful lunch experience. The chef runs the show all by himself. The lunch prices are very reasonable, either 1000 yen or 1500 yen depending on the menu. The lunch I had was the Australian sirloin steak for 1500 yen, which came with salad, soup, side dish, and rice. The vegetables are grilled first on the teppan, followed by the meat. It's very enjoyable to watch the performance. The salad was beautifully presented with delicious dressing. The soup was a simple consomme soup with bacon, onion, potato, and carrot, served hot and tasted amazing. The main meat was a bit tough due to being lean, but considering the price, it was satisfying. The sesame sauce was more like a garlic and onion sauce to me. The grilled vegetables were also delicious and well seasoned. The price for the quality is amazing. The chef may not be very friendly, but he does his job well. He refilled my tea without me asking. Payment is by cash or credit card (with a fee), no QR code payment. I'm curious about the dice steak that was not available that day. I want to come back soon to try other dishes. I hope the prices don't increase. Thank you for the meal.

Teppanyaki restaurant in Shinbashi. The chef, who used to work at Okura, showcases his skills. I noticed the Hamburg Curry on the outside sign and decided to go in. The interior is compact with a small number of seats, but it doesn't feel too hot or cramped. I ordered the Hamburg Curry for 1,500 yen. First, they served soup. It wasn't just regular soup, but a flavorful vegetable soup with a hint of bouillon. Then came the salad and eggplant ohitashi. The green salad with dressing was quite tasty, and the eggplant ohitashi had a delicate dashi flavor. The side dishes were all of high quality. Finally, the Hamburg Curry cooked on the teppan was served. The round Hamburg steak oozed meat juice when cut, blending perfectly with the slightly sweet and spicy European-style curry. It had a different taste from Okura, but it was clearly a well-prepared curry. The combination of Hamburg steak and curry was excellent, and even the rice was quite good. I thought the well-rounded lunch set for 1,500 yen was a good deal.

A casual teppanyaki restaurant run by a chef from Hotel Okura. At lunchtime, there is fierce competition for the 4 counter seats. After trying for the third time, finally managed to secure a seat. The menu was handed over and ordered. - Australian sirloin steak for 1,500 yen (tax included) - Comes with rice, small dishes, soup, and salad First, the vegetables are carefully cooked over time. The meat is cooked once the vegetables are done. The meat is cooked with graceful movements on the iron plate. It is sliced with a knife and served on a plate. Watching the chef's skilled hands, it's clear that they are a professional. The dish is garnished with salt, and a special sauce for the steak is provided separately. It's nice that you can season it to your liking. The tender Australian beef allows you to fully enjoy the flavor of the meat. Cooked to a medium level, it is juicy. The bite-sized cuts make it easy to eat. You can enjoy the meat directly with salt, or eat it with the rich special sauce on rice. The vegetables, including bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, eggplant, and baby corn, are cooked perfectly and taste delicious. The small dish consists of simmered bamboo shoots, which complements the steak well. The portion of meat is not large, but with salad and soup included, the price is quite reasonable. Other customers were already making reservations for their next lunch as they finished eating. It is recommended to make a reservation to secure a seat.

After my dental check-up, I had lunch at Hanasaki where I had made a reservation. Today, I ordered the hamburger. The hamburger was cooked to perfection on the hot plate, and when I pierced it with my chopsticks, the juices flowed out. The simmered bamboo shoot side dish, salad, vegetable soup, everything was undeniably delicious. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely come back.

I brought along a junior colleague who is leaving the company, and since they are young men, I thought a meat dish would be good, so I made a reservation here. It's recommended to also make a reservation for lunch as there are only 4 seats available. Last time I had the Wagyu steak bowl, so this time I tried the Australian sirloin steak. It was tender and delicious. Of course, I finished it all. This place never disappoints. Next time, I might try the hamburger. It's a great place to enjoy a meal in a calm atmosphere. And all this for only 1500 yen, which is a great deal.

A friend made a reservation for me and I visited for the first time! Since the seating is limited, reservations are essential for lunch... I wonder if they would allow a solo diner... I ordered the ginger pork. The meat was tender, and the mushrooms and vegetables on the side were delicious! Next time, I want to try the sirloin steak!

I chose Hanasaki for my last stop in the Shinbashi area beef lunch series, just like the ginger pork. I had the Australian sirloin steak for 1,500 yen, but I think the Yamagata wagyu diced steak bowl might have been a better choice. It's just based on the fact that it's wagyu, though (;^_^A Next time, I might try the ethnic-style sautéed chicken. <Side note> At 11:33 AM, there was one customer already seated. Since there were already reservations for two people that day, I just made it in time. The two groups that came after me were turned away. The competition for the four seats is fierce (*/>∀<)/ [Shinbashi area beef lunch series] 1. Wagyu Yakiniku GyuWAKA Maru Shinbashi Branch ☆3.3 2. Meat and Rice that Moves You Shinbashi Branch ☆3.2 3.

Shinbashi Ginger Pork Set Meal ⑨ Last but not least is Hanasaki-san. The ginger pork is cooked on the iron plate right in front of you. It's a different experience compared to the previous restaurants, isn't it? However, the price is only 1,000 yen, so there is not a big difference in terms of cost. The salad is fresh, and the rice is cooked just right. The amount of pork on top of the stir-fried bean sprouts is not that much, but the taste is great. As mentioned in other reviews, there may be reservations for lunch, as there were two reservations on the day I visited, and a group of two that came after me were turned away. It seems to be for infection prevention, but with only 4 seats available, it might be better to visit early in the opening hours or slightly later. However, a review from someone I follow mentioned that if you go late, they might run out of ginger pork. Maybe I should finish with the slightly expensive but delicious sirloin steak bowl or the diced steak bowl? Or maybe the sirloin steak would be better for the content?

The beef from Yamagata is so delicious it's insane!! The owner is really friendly too. I went for lunch and it was a great break! The atmosphere of the restaurant is perfect for relaxing. I want to come back with my girlfriend for dinner next time!!

I came to Hanasaki in Ura-Shinbashi after a long time. There are only 4 seats at the counter, but luckily I was able to sit down. Today, I ordered the sirloin steak. After waiting for 15 minutes, a perfectly grilled steak with special sauce and salt was served. It was delicious. I enjoyed the soup, simmered taro, and salad along with the steak. I quickly finished everything. Thank you for the meal. I will come again.

I made a reservation for the recommended course at the restaurant based on the menu description, which stated that it is ideal for those who want to enjoy authentic teppanyaki dishes. I had a conversation with the chef and found out that the chef had changed. The drinks I ordered were: 1) Draft beer for 770 yen, 2) Sparkling wine Bouquet D'or glass for 880 yen, 3) Red wine Robert Skalli Cabernet Sauvignon bottle for 6,270 yen, and 4) Red wine Louis Latour Pinot Noir glass for 1,485 yen x 2. The dishes were served in the following order: 1) Amuse-bouche: Cold ratatouille jelly, 2) Appetizer: Lightly smoked saury teppanyaki, 3) Appetizer: Ezo abalone teppanyaki, 4) Seasonal dish: Magret de Canard duck and eringi teppanyaki, 5) Seasonal fish dish: Sea bass and snap peas, 6) Meat dish: Yamagata wagyu steak sirloin and fillet, 7) Grilled vegetables: Zucchini and shiitake with fried garlic slices, 8) Finale: Garlic rice with salmon flakes, 9) Soup: Curry-flavored potage, 10) Dessert: Panna cotta with strawberries. Overall, it was difficult to determine how satisfied I was with the meal. Considering a return visit is a tough decision.

It's been a while since I visited Hanasaki. I made a reservation and went there today. I ordered the steak that I was looking forward to. It was cooked carefully on an iron plate and served. First, I tried a piece with the special sauce, then with rock salt. Delicious. The vegetable soup, simmered pumpkin, and salad with homemade dressing were all as expected, delicious. Thank you for the meal. I will come again.

I had a lovely lunch at a charming teppanyaki restaurant by turning left from Uchisaiwaicho Street onto Hibiya Street from Shimbashi. Despite reducing the counter seats from 6 to 4 due to the state of emergency, there were no partitions, and it was challenging to maintain social distancing with 2 dining guests. I ordered the "Yamagata Prefecture Rice Daughter Ginger Pork" for 1000 yen after confirming the menu on Tabelog in advance and without touching the restaurant-style menu. The conversation and grilling of the hamburger by the previous guest lasted for over 12 minutes, so my ginger pork, which was pushed back, took 14 minutes to start grilling. From there, the salad & vegetables, followed by rice, soup, and the plate of ginger pork were served within 2 minutes. The dressing for the salad and the ginger sauce for the pork were professional. The well-cooked teppanyaki-style ginger pork with three small pieces of pork that didn't fit in the small rice bowl, along with enoki mushrooms, baby corn, and bean sprouts hidden underneath, was excellent. I finished my meal before the previous guests who were still dining, paid with cashless payment, and left after 26 minutes. The food was perfect, but there were lingering concerns about close contact.

We visited for the first time with two people after 11:30. There was one person already seated, so we were lucky to get a table as only four people can be accommodated. I ordered the hamburger steak and my friend ordered the ginger pork. The soup, salad, and hamburger were served in small circular plates about 5cm in diameter. The surface of the hamburger was crispy while the inside was moist and steamed. It seemed like the hamburger was cooked for more than 10 minutes right in front of us. After searing the surface well, they seemed to steam it to lock in the juices. When cut, the meat juice oozed out and soaked into the bean sprouts, which was delicious. The meat was quite firm and coarse. We also tried my friend's ginger pork, which was also delicious. The meat was firm and the tasty sauce complemented it well. We definitely want to come back again.

I used it for lunch. On the way to the Japanese restaurant Kojiro, I noticed the sign "Formerly from Okura" and decided to change the restaurant and opened the door. There were only 4 seats at the counter. Since it was just opened, although we were three girls, we were able to sit down. Soon after, a familiar customer came alone and the seats were full. I ordered the pork loin bowl. It had a refreshing taste with a soy sauce base and was delicious. Next time I go, I plan to order the steak.

Before noon at Shinbashi. I called to check for availability as a last resort, and they said it was okay. I arrived just before 12 o'clock. It's been a while since I've been to Hanasaki, and today I ordered ginger pork. I watched in fascination as it was skillfully cooked on the iron plate right in front of me. After waiting for about 15 minutes, it was served. The pork loin was grilled to perfection and the special sauce was delicious. The gentle-tasting vegetable soup, the salad with original dressing, and the eggplant side dish were all undeniably tasty. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely come back.

Counter seats at a hidden gem restaurant that only accommodates 4 people, so it's super lucky if you manage to get a seat. The chef single-handedly manages everything and cooks dishes like steak right in front of you, so it may take a bit longer. Lunch menu offers a choice of 3 items for 1,000 yen (tax included) or 4 items for 1,500 yen (tax included), all served with salad, soup, rice, and side dishes. Arriving around noon, I barely got the last seat as there were 3 other customers. Everyone seemed to have ordered the sirloin steak (which indeed offers great value), but I opted for the more affordable pork loin ginger set at 1,500 yen for a weekday lunch, which felt a bit pricey. The chef's solo performance was truly impressive, with refined skills that kept me captivated. Starting with the corn, then adding vegetables like baby corn and eringi, everything was cooked on a black plate. Next, three slices of pork loin were carefully grilled on the iron plate and topped with a generous amount of ginger sauce. The rich and sweet ginger sauce, caramelized onions, and juicy pork loin melted in my mouth, bringing pure happiness. The salad with cherry tomatoes was fresh and generously dressed, while the side dish of simmered bamboo shoots had a delightful spring-like flavor. The minestrone soup was light yet flavorful with plenty of ingredients. The rice was plump and glossy, with a firm and chewy texture that I loved. The composition was impressive for just 1,000 yen! It's no wonder this restaurant, run by a former Hotel Okura French chef, is so popular despite its small size. The chef's sincere approach to cooking and attentive service make it a must-visit spot. I heard that they had to turn away around five or six customers during my meal. I will definitely be coming back!
