Chuo City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ginnotō main building

Expensive, even the cheapest menu is over 2,000 yen, but well worth it. They specialize in beef stews, and I tried their beef tongue stew which cost over 3,000 yen for regular size and over 4,000 yen for large. They serve their stews on individual casserole bowls, you'll see the stews still bubbling on the table, be careful if you have a weak tongue. I was expecting a very sweet tomato based stew which is the norm here in Japan. Turns out their stew is more on the salty savory side, I think soy sauce based, but it was only mildly salty (which is surprising since in Japan "the saltier the better" is a common approach) and instead you get a very thick, rich beef flavor from meat and bones. And if that wasn't enough, the beef tongue practically dissolved as you touch it, it was impossible to pick them up with a pair of chopsticks (thank goodness for spoons) and just melts in your mouth, one of the best beef tongue I've ever had. A word of warning, you will get a lot of fat build up in your mouth afterwards, so do find desserts nearby to wash them down.

The beef stew is very delicious. Homemade/old fashion kind of taste, but very good. Was there on a weekday afternoon at 3pm and it was packed with local

Friendly people and yummy food. Adults and kids love the food.
