For the best experience, I recommend grilling the meat just slightly beyond medium and dipping each piece into the butter—it enhances the flavor and creates a melt-in-your-mouth sensation. Truly the most tender and flavorful steak I’ve ever had.

They have an English menu available, but can also translate in other languages if you are worried about that.
It’s a bit difficult to find the restaurant, note that it’s on the 5th floor.
Oden, which is limited to Saturdays, is also made with attention to the soup stock.
💡 At night, the restaurant becomes ``Tochisaki,'' a high-class Japanese restaurant, so the interior has a very high-class feel for a udon restaurant.
It's on the 5th floor and the opening time is 5, but since we were waiting in front of the store at 4:30, they let us in about 10 minutes early haha. I visited during opening hours on a Saturday, and it was relatively quiet.

Although it is an extremely popular restaurant that has been selected as one of Tabelog's 100 Famous Restaurants six times, it is a difficult restaurant as it is only open for lunch on weekdays.
I often have the ``Inaniwa Udon Shichikura Special Soup Tsukemen + Mini Bowl Set'' for lunch. Some people might hear the name "Mini-don" and think it's a bonus, but the sashimi and salmon roe on top are super fresh! The cost performance is too good.
I visited at 12:40 on a weekday, and was able to get in without waiting.
The combination of the refreshing udon, warm soup with green onions and nameko, and the seafood bowl was a perfect match.

They have vegetarian options! It’s definitely worth the price.

Udon noodle was good but not uniquely special. However the soup, tempura squid and fried soybean skin was truly extraordinary. I have never ate a tempura squid that was so tender and so flavorful. Please add on the raw egg into the soup, it adds on level of flavors to this delicious broth.
Despite the current trend, this is a rare restaurant where you can enjoy Osaka-Style ``Udon'' in Tokyo.

The best filet I had in Tokyo by far. We ordered the salad as a starter and 100gr steak each. It was soft as butter, perfectly cooked to our request and delicious. Complementary ice-cream was offered by the very welcoming and friendly staff.

It was also fun because they explained each story in English and performed in a way that would please people from overseas. All of the omakase courses offered delicious, fresh, seasonal ingredients, and the lineup was different from last time.
Overall I would recommend for lunch spot.
You will eat better quality food and higher standard Omakase at Toyuso market at 6600 yen/px for a 12-15 piece (Not just Sushi Dai (waking up at 4 am to line up)) but other restaurants as well! Maybe set lunch is better option at this restaurant.

Delicious, but you have to wait a long time for food.
The waiting line started at 11 o'clock on Saturday, so it took over 2 hours. Instead, I took a ticket and was able to check the waiting situation on my phone, so I waited while doing other sightseeing in Ginza.

My pro tip for this place is just to spam the Chutoro & Tuna+pickle Roll pieces. Get like 5 of each or something + some uni to really get bank for your buck.
Visited with an acquaintance who is a regular here. It was Saturday. I lined up around 12:30 for the second round starting at 1:00 p.m. At that point, there were already 5 people in line, and 8 people was the max, so it was barely safe.
It seems like you only have one chance to order, so only recommended topics that I have heard about in advance.
The sushi menu changes every day. As a stand-up establishment, it offers excellent cost-effectiveness, with no sushi priced over 1,100 yen.
It has two branches in Shimbashi and Tsukiji, and the Shimbashi branch is listed in the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand.
I'm left-handed and the English menu happens to be on my left. I just put the English menu from the left to the right to avoid accidentally smearing the menu. The general tapped it twice with his finger and asked me to put it back. Is there really no better way to communicate?
