Located in the quiet streets of Yotsuya, Shinobu is a beloved hidden gem renowned for its perfectly grilled beef tongue (gyutan) by locals.
The restaurant has built a loyal following thanks to its focus on quality, traditional preparation, and warm, no-frills atmosphere that lets the food speak for itself.
↓Grilled tongue
Masterful Charcoal Grilling: The beef tongue is expertly grilled over charcoal, giving it a smoky aroma and tender texture with just the right amount of chew.
↓Boil tongue
Aged for Flavor: The tongue is carefully aged to enhance umami, then sliced and grilled to order.
↓Stew rice ball
Authentic Tokyo Vibe: With its humble counter seating and cozy interior, Shinobu delivers an old-school Tokyo dining experience that feels both nostalgic and authentic.
