"Kazu is undoubtedly the best Japanese BBQ (Yakiniku) in all of Tokyo. We are still dreaming of the pepper beef bowl!

Located in Oshiage - a 5min walk from Oshiage (skytree) station, Kazu delivers fresh, delicious and an honest food experience. If you are visiting skytree on a day trip this place is not to be missed!

My husband and I dined here three times during our recent Tokyo trip, each time we were greeted with enthusiasm and great service from everyone. If you haven’t experienced Japanese BBQ before, it is a cook your own meat style but don’t let this dissuade you, the staff are attentive and offer some assistance should you require it - especially when cooking meat cuts you may not have tried before.

As foreigners, it can sometimes be daunting to visit more local restaurants but rest assured the food transcends any language barrier. An English menu is available for foreigners, otherwise use Kulikuli or google translate app.

We recommend everything on the menu - the standouts are the pepper beef bowl - comes with fresh wasabi, spring onion and seaweed garnish to mix in with some dashi soup - choreshi (Korean) salad, cucumber and fresh tomato sides are all PERFECT!

The meat is tender and fresh, lots of options for marinade and dipping sauces. The restaurant itself if cosy and traditional - store your winter coats and bags inside the wooden benches/stools to avoid any smoke smell etc.

We highly recommend Kazu for all travellers wanting to experience a traditional Japanese Yakiniku! The food is well priced and the overall food is unmatched. Kazu should be on the ‘to do list’ for anyone planning a full experience in Oshiage/Skytree - it’s also very close to the Onigiri shrine (Takagi shrine) 🍙, also a must do."

"One of the best restaurants I've ever gone to in Tokyo. The atmosphere is bustling and old fashioned, and I love it. The meat (especially the Kazu special short rib) were all really high quality and good. The staff were all really nice and it was really easy to order and request stuff because of it. They also have an English menu for any tourists coming here (including me.) You have to reserve a certain time to be able to eat here but it's not too hard to do, and it's worth it in the end."

"The pepper beef bowl for two (1200 yen) is really good. Save a bit of rice by pouring the dashi soup into the bowl. Add wasabi and shallots to enhance the taste further.

The mixed beef platter (2000 yen) is good. The other mixed platter of pork and chicken has too much fats and other innards which may not appeal to some. Go for the single platters (720 yen each) and it’s more worth it. Boss is friendly too and came to chat with us a bit."
