Ushigoro Ginza Namiki St.

A trip to Japan isn’t complete without tasting the country’s famous Japanese wagyu beef. Tokyo has numerous eateries for it, but they're known to be extremely pricey, and a trip out to the cheaper countryside restaurants might not be possible for everyone. Ushigoro is a mid-range yakiniku restaurant that offers the same high-quality beef for less, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. This yakiniku restaurant is well known among local meat lovers, and its fame allowed it to expand to open more branches. The original Ushigoro branch in Ginza is still the best, of course. A few course meals are offered, from the smaller Tabegoro course at a cheaper cost to the recommended Ushigoro course that includes the finest cuts the chef has to offer. An a la carte menu is also available for those who still crave more at the end of the fantastically curated meal. Options to grill the meat yourself like standard yakiniku restaurants are available too, but the staff are happy to do the cooking for you to ensure the meat is done as recommended. Ushigoro offers the highest grade of beef for less — even the maximum amount spent here won't break the bank, for sure.
