Yakiniku a Five Toku Ginza8chome

Reviewed By JJH_Low

Very enjoyable 90 minutes of A5 grade beef which you cook on a grill in the middle of the table, also a free flow of ala carte sides (you must finish it before ordering something else, to avoid wastage, which makes sense), and 1 dessert, rounded off with friendly and efficient service. Reservations highly recommended.

Finding Gluten-free in Japan can be challenging. I was happy to learn about this place from my research that I had a few options while in Tokyo. My husband, myself, and a friend stopped here for dinner. The menu I found was amazing in indicating food allergies. It made ordering a breeze for me.Most of the food was either a hit or a miss. I would recommend the shrimp and vegetables tempura, cajun fried chicken bites (AMAZING), sukiyaki, and of course sake to drink.The misses were ramen, marinated mushrooms, and yakisoba. Overall a great place for those who have allergies or intolerance. It is an easy place to bring your family members. It is on the smaller side so can be busy at times.

This restaurant is specialized to Japanese Sake (rice wine). If you are a sake fan, you may already know that Japanese sake tends to be expensive. However, we are challenging against the trend; we sell Japanese sake at the wholesale price of each brand. Y

Wonderful night in the Nihonshu who boast the biggest range of sake from all over Japan, at the cheapest prices in Tokyo. My favourite was"Dassai" though many were almost as good. Great staff helped in educating me on various aspects of sake drinking. Strongly recommend a visit for a real insight to an interesting part of Japanese culture

This place was so friendly and had such an inviting atmosphere. We sat at the bar table in front of the kitchen whilst the entertaining chefs laughed and joked with all the patrons. The food was incredible and we ate to excess. The standout end of the meal was the Hotteok, the crispy Korean pancake. I cant recommend this place enough!!! Only sad that its my last night here and I cant do this again tomorrow night!!

From the presentation of the dishes, to the explanation of where the food originated from, this was an incredible experience from start to finish. Yuuki is very welcoming and he takes immense pride in his preparation. Each dish is completely different and very flavorful. I would highly recommend the sake pairing as well. I can’t wait to go back the next time I’m in Tokyo.

We visited the Mitsukoshi departmental store and walked down a quaint street with old-style Japanese shops across the street. There was a delicious smell of grilled meats and we followed our noses to this eatery.It was mostly locals having their Saturday lunch and we were lucky to snag a table. We ordered the skirt steak and striploin steak sets. The eatery is relatively small, and built along a long narrow room so diners can see the two Teppanyaki chefs at work. One mostly does the meats, while the other cooks the bean sprouts that form the base of each dish.The food itself tasted as good as it smelled and the striploin was soft and almost buttery and went nicely with the salad and rice. The skirt steak was a little tougher but still delicious.It is a quaint restaurant and the owners seem to be fans of Elvis and the 60s and 70s as songs from those eras were playing during the meal and provided a suitable backdrop. The staff were north of 50 years and were friendly yet polite with their regulars.
