Eating out every day to conquer the top 100 restaurants. Today, I visited a yakiniku restaurant in Ginza called Ginza Kobau. It is a renowned yakiniku restaurant that has won the bronze award multiple times until 2020. It specializes in black-haired Japanese beef from female cows. I checked the reviews on Tabelog before making a reservation. The restaurant is divided into two floors, with the 5th floor being a casual dining area and the 8th floor being private rooms. I made a reservation for the 8th floor, where you can only book a course starting from 18,000 yen. I arrived at the restaurant on a Saturday at 6 pm. The 8th floor was indeed luxurious with private rooms and a sophisticated interior. I was guided to a tatami room on the left side after getting off the elevator. The course started promptly. The chawanmushi had bamboo shoots in it, reflecting the season. There were four types of appetizers instead of three: asparagus namul, mozzarella cheese kimchi, snap pea kimchi, and new potato namul. It was impressive how they made kimchi and namul so elegant in taste and presentation. The salad consisted of wasabi greens and red watercress. In addition to yukhoe, there were four pieces of beef sashimi, one of each. I enjoyed tasting each piece with soy sauce, wasabi, and salt. The course also included harami, tongue, sirloin, fillet, and lean meat, one piece of each. I was surprised to find sukiyaki in a yakiniku course, and it was delicious. I had it with rice cooked in a pot. I was glad I had been holding back on rice until then. For noodles, I chose tantanmen. It was just the right amount, especially after the rice. Good quality meat looks beautiful even when grilled. They changed the grill every few rounds, creating a beautiful pattern on each piece of meat. The interior and food were fantastic, but the service was the best part. It was not forced or artificial, just genuinely good. The 18,000 yen course included: - Appetizer: chawanmushi, seasonal appetizer platter - Salad: wasabi greens and red watercress salad - Sashimi: assorted beef sashimi and yukhoe - Steamed dish: salt-grilled black-haired wagyu beef tongue and harami - Grilled dish: salt-grilled sirloin, fillet, lean meat - Soup: black-haired wagyu sukiyaki and rice in a pot - Cold noodles: tantanmen or cold noodles - Dessert: Uji matcha and sweet treat.

We visited without a reservation (called just before) at 6:30 pm with 3 people. It was a last-minute decision, but they kindly accepted us until the next reservation. I have used the course menu a couple of times before. I am very satisfied with the portion and taste. The special room is a completely private room, and the service is very speedy! [Order details (sorry for being vague)]: - Tongue - Yukhoe - Roast - Kalbi - Hormone - Kimchi - Sangchu - Cold noodles, all for 2 people - Lemon sour - Red wine bottle [Recommended for] Business meals, couples, families.

The charcoal-grilled beef tongue was incredibly delicious!! They changed the grill net frequently without us even asking, and the service in the private room was excellent. We went on a weekday at 6 pm and they mentioned that reservations were full, so I think making a reservation is necessary when you plan to visit.

I enjoyed a relaxing time in a completely private room, savoring drinks and dishes slowly. The course ending with sirloin grilled shabu-shabu was superb! I especially loved the black wagyu beef, as well as the rice cooked in a clay pot and the cold noodles. The special room at Yakiniku Ginza Kobau was created with the desire to make your important moments even more special and unforgettable. With carefully selected ingredients and the finest black wagyu beef, impeccable hospitality, and a sophisticated yet calming atmosphere, all rooms are private for your comfort. Whether for entertaining guests, business meetings, or special occasions, please spend a special time at Yakiniku Ginza Kobau's special room. We promise uncompromising pursuit of deliciousness and the utmost hospitality for our customers. Yakiniku Ginza Kobau is a specialty store for black wagyu beef. Please enjoy the finest grilled meat in a private room, paying attention to the origin, ranch, and age of the beef.

I made a reservation for a weekday and went to the restaurant. We were guided to a private room for 6 people, and it was very comfortable. Please note that the photos were taken after transferring the dishes to a plate. Yukhoe (Korean beef tartare): It was very elegant with gold foil sprinkled on top. Tongue: Very tender and excellent. Tripe: It was delicious with the vinegar sauce. Mini Tan-Tan Cold Noodles: The chewy noodles and Tan-Tan soup were amazing. The draft beer (1500 yen) had a fine foam and was delicious. On the way out, we received a Mintia with the restaurant's name on it. I don't know the exact prices, but I can say it's a great place for entertaining.

Thank you for viewing. I would appreciate it if you could follow, like, save, and follow on Instagram. On Instagram, I also recruit companions for hard-to-book restaurants. I visited this place before it was renovated. The main store seems to have moved to Namiki Street, and all the special rooms are private rooms, which I think is great for business dinners! There are 4 course options, and surprisingly, you can get quite full without any additional orders. Personally, I would be happy if there were a little more Namul and Kimchi...

Today was a bit of a treat. I made a reservation online for two people, for Tuesday at 6:00 pm, about three days ago. We opted for the 18,000 yen course. There is a more affordable course available at the Ginza Namiki-dori branch. The meat dishes are served like French cuisine, with each one cooked to perfection. The room and the atmosphere of the restaurant are modern and stylish in black. The assorted beef sashimi and yukhoe bread in the course were amazing. The collaboration of the fresh meat and the sauce was exquisite. The red meat dishes were tender and flavorful, with a melt-in-your-mouth quality. For the final course, you can choose between cold noodles or tan-tan cold noodles. Since the meat dishes are quite rich, the cold noodles might be a better choice for a refreshing finish. I chose the tan-tan cold noodles, which had a creamy sesame flavor. It was delicious, but a lighter noodle dish might have been better. Overall, it was a luxurious experience that I indulge in a few times a year.

Kobe beef sukiyaki course for 24,200 yen. To be honest, I wanted a bit more of a meaty experience. I don't think the sirloin steamed in a basket is necessary. The chawanmushi as a starter is plain. The thinly sliced Chateaubriand makes it hard to fully appreciate its flavor. I wanted to enjoy thicker cuts of tongue and kalbi. The first half felt too refined and lacking in a "meat mode" vibe. However, overall the quality was high and I left satisfied after the sukiyaki and cold noodles. I will return because of the great location.

Today, I went to the special room at Yakiniku Ginza Kobau with two friends! The interior is very luxurious! You can tell they pay attention to details like the toilet and private rooms! The service is top-notch even among high-end restaurants! The thick-cut tongue was the most delicious I've ever had! The course included chawanmushi, a seasonal assortment, caviar and beef sashimi, tongue shabu-shabu, thick-cut tongue, harami or sagari, shabu-shabu, Kobe beef sukiyaki, rice cooked in beef bone broth, cold noodles or tantan cold noodles, Uji matcha and dessert.

The private room has a dim atmosphere, personally I wish it was a bit brighter. The quality of the meat is good, considering the high price. However, with the price going over 30,000 yen, it's hard to say it's a good value for money. If you really need a private room in Ginza, then it might be worth it.

This year, it was at a high-end yakiniku restaurant in Ginza. It goes without saying, but every dish was delicious. Normally, with this amount of high-quality meat, one would start to feel overwhelmed, but the portion size was just right. And each dish was served at a good pace. From sashimi to grilled dishes to sukiyaki, you can enjoy high-quality beef in various flavors. Even the matcha at the end was delicious. The restaurant exudes luxury in its food, ambiance, and service. It's a great experience to have once in a while. I worked hard this year. Thank you for the feast.

I had a reception at Kobau-san and chose the yakiniku course, which was just right in terms of portion size and taste! The staff's service was excellent and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I will definitely want to use this restaurant again!! Highly recommended for receptions! It was very delicious!! I will definitely visit again! Thank you for the meal!!

I attended a business dinner at a trading company. It's my second time this year. Forgot to take photos... I'll do my best next time. - Appetizer: Chawanmushi - Assorted seasonal appetizers - Salad - Sashimi: Assorted beef sashimi - Steamed sirloin - Grilled dishes: Salt-grilled two types of wagyu beef tongue and red meat - Vinegared dish - Tail soup - Grilled dish: Fillet, one type of red meat - Clay pot rice - Finale: Sukiyaki, cold noodles or tantanmen cold noodles - Dessert: Uji matcha and sweet treats Private rooms are recommended.

I enjoyed a lunch set with black oolong highball to numb the sense of immorality. The set included thick slices of harami, three slices each of sirloin and lamp, beautifully arranged red meat. The restaurant prides itself on using black wagyu beef from non-castrated bulls. The meat was tender and had just the right amount of fat, perfect for a luxurious holiday lunch experience.

I was taken to "Kobau" in Ginza for a meal after a music festival! I felt embarrassed to enter in my festival outfit, so I removed the face stickers before going in. Haha, I forgot to take a photo, but the Yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) was intriguing. You lightly grill it yourself, then put the meat, egg, and sauce on a spoon to eat! Personally, I prefer the more common mixed Yukhoe. We also had tongue, tripe, and skirt steak. Everything was so delicious ❤️ I hope to go again when I'm not drunk next time. LOL

I was treated to a meal by my senior. Actually, I was treated too well. The beef at Kobau was so amazing that I completely forgot to take a picture of the meat and only got a picture of the soup (lol). They only serve female cows, which shows their commitment to quality. Female cow meat is not heavy and really delicious.

From morning onwards, I was busy with estimates, web research, payments, interviews, and other internal tasks at work. Small to medium-sized business owners have to do everything. During this busy time, I realized I hadn't made a lunch reservation for the day. Luckily, I was able to quickly make a same-day reservation through the popular restaurant review website, Eat Log, at the Ginza Kobau restaurant. Thank you, Eat Log, for making it so convenient. Despite being a popular restaurant, Ginza Kobau managed their web reservations well. I appreciate how easy it is to make instant reservations through Eat Log. After a long introduction, I finally got to the point and went for lunch. I was seated in a private room and handed a menu that was already sanitized and sealed in a bag, giving me a luxurious feeling like opening a brand new book. I ordered the weekend-only BBQ lunch set, priced at 5,000 yen per person, which included kimchi, namul salad, BBQ meat, seaweed soup, rice, and dessert. The marbling of the meat was amazing, and the meat was tender and delicious. It was a satisfying BBQ lunch. I was informed that the restaurant would be relocating around December, so I need to check the new location before my next visit. Thank you for the delicious meal. I will definitely come back!
