For Meat Lover
SHOUTAIEN（正泰苑）
Yakiniku(Japanese Barbecue) is the national food of Japanese along with Ramen.One of my best recommendation of Yakiniku in Tokyo is SHOUTAIEN. It’s over 15 years ago when I visited SHOUTAIEN for the first time. My senior at company took me there and I experienced the real taste of Yakiniku.You can enjoy good quality meat of short rib,skirt,tongue etc.in reasonable price starting from JPY5,000.It never declines their popularity and it’s difficult to enter without reservation. How about spending the blissful moment at SHOUTAIEN at Daimon and see the Tokyo Tower at night ?Must be your forgettable experience.

Imahan Ningyocho

Imahan (人形町今半) is the best sukiyaki and shabu-shabu restaurant in Tokyo with long history since 1895.Both sukiyaki and shabu-shabu consist of thinly sliced meat and vegetables and served with dipping sauces. Sukiyaki uses soy sauce and sugar in soup and dip meal in a small bowl of raw, beaten eggs. Shabu-shabu features boil in water and less sweet than sukiyaki.
A bit expensive but authentic Sukiyaki must offer you fantastic experience. There are lots of branches in Tokyo but in terms of atmosphere, I definitely recommend to go the main branch at Ningyocho, it’s totally different.
■ Location:Ningyocho (Hibiya Line or Asakusa Line)
■ Lunch: Steak set menu starting at 2,160JPY, Sukiyaki/Shabushabu starting at 4,500JPY, Dinner Sukiyaki/Shabushabu starting at 5,500JPY
