Located right in the heart of the ritzy Ginza district, the elegantly-decorated Misono Ginza Store serves up extravagant teppanyaki courses centered around Kobe beef. Perfect for impressing your date, especially when there’s a great night view of Tokyo along with your food!

Teppanyaki in Japan doesn’t usually come cheap, and you won’t see the chefs performing flashy Benihana-style stunts anytime soon. But that’s more than made up for by the stellar food and elegant atmosphere at a place like Misono Ginza Store – not to mention the gorgeous night view of Tokyo from the restaurant.
First established in 1945 in Kobe, Misono was reputedly the first teppanyaki restaurant in the world. Whether or not that’s true, the enduring quality and popularity of their multi-course Kobe beef teppanyaki meals says it all. Their marble-clad Ginza branch is just as high-end and high-calorie as the original branch; what’s not to like?

You could have fairly sedate multi-course meals of A4-grade wagyu that will set you back around JPY10,000–JPY16,000. But if you really want to go all out, you’ll order the Kobe beef course meal B, which gives you 150g of Kobe sirloin, seafood, five kinds of grilled seasonal vegetables, salad (which almost seems perfunctory at this juncture), and dessert. This will set you back JPY29,160. Go hard or go home.
If you find yourself around Ginza Station, consider dropping by Misono Ginza Store for a Kobe beef extravaganza. Dinner is the time to splash out, but if you’re watching your spending, drop in for lunch instead. You’ll get to try some great Kobe beef without emptying out your pockets too much, though the cheapest lunch sets still start at around JPY3000 per person.
