Minato City, Tokyo, Japan｜WINEHALL GLAMOUR Akasaka

Small wine bar with high quality food. I ate meat dish and bruschetta as well as skewed vegetable, enjoyed it very much. The cabaret was also good at decent level

As much as I’m annoyed by the 500 Yen cover charge, WE HAD SUCH A GREAT GREAT DINNER HERE. The salads we tried were excellent with a wonderful lemony light sauce. The mushrooms and shrimps were delicious and delightfully garlicky. The rib eye steak 🥩was not that chewy and the fat on it quite normal and expected. The boiled cabbage is a safe bet for the vegetable’s aficionados, my wife loved it. The cream brûlée was so yummy 😋 that I wanted to get one more but the kitchen closed around 10:00 pm unfortunately. The chocolate cake brownie was new news to me because I normally get staffed early with this type of desert and leave most of it unwanted but here I ate it all!!! I had a Canadian club whiskey 🥃 rather than wine but that’s as good as a Canadian club anywhere 😊 I super highly recommend this place, it has a nice ambience, plays good country jazz and blues music and we found it quite reasonable paying just $55 per person for a splurge type of meal. In Manhattan we pay for the very same items at a similar level place double price at least.

Excellent food and great for foreigners as they have a QR code ordering system that allows you to place your whole order from your own phone in whatever language you need (using your phone's translation options). We searched for a bit for a reasonably priced and foreigner friendly spot for some wagyu and they did not disappoint. The three of us shared 5 steak plates, the salad and bruschetta and drinks for around ¥16000 ($150 USD) and were very happy with everything. Staff were very friendly and even tried to translate a bit on their phones, which was super helpful for us and our very bad Japanese. Advice to the owner: add "wagyu" to your google keywords as the we found it accidentally on foot and are very happy we did. But that was only because the other 2 restaurants we tried were either full or not foreigner friendly and we found you by walking around the area. Even inside the restaurant, we were unable to find it in Google maps under the search for "wagyu" or "kobe beef" and it would have been a shame if we had missed the opportunity to eat here as it was one of the best restaurants we had during our 2 weeks in Japan.
