"Convienently located next to Ginza Uniqlo. This was booked by a local Japanese friend and we paid JPY5500 for tabehodai+nomihodai for our group of 5. Great value! Meats were nice, though limited selection (except for pork, 3 kinds) but there was chicken and also the duck meat which is pretty rare.
Service was great! Not the most attentive but 1 ojisan was serving all the tables and he tried his best even though he didn't speak much English.
Meal was ended off with wanton noodle soup! Amazing in this cold weather."

"This is an excellent Shabu shabu restaurant conveniently located for Ginza and Shimbashi. There are various levels and courses from set menu’s to all you can eat courses. From pork to Matsusaka beef, so you choose which one suits you. We chose an all you can eat Matsusaka Beef & Wagyu option for ¥8,000.
Unlike other all you can eat options the beef quality was very high with large portions and sizes. You can order 3 types of meat at a time to make it more efficient.
we sat at the counter which had individual cooking pots but there were normal tables also. We like sitting at the counter as you can see everything that’s going on.
I’d definitely come back here."

"Found this gem at Suzuran street, and I'm glad we did.
The meat was so delicious, they have Draft Beer, free dessert, what more do you need?
They have Matsusaka & Kobe Beef on the menu, I recommend ordering it."
