Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ningyocho Imahan Odakyū Dai-ichi Seimei Building

Very tasty meal, I ordered the premium beef and it’s great, appetisers (sashimi and wagyu) were impressive too. Staff would cook and serve the sukiyaki.

I have visited Imahan in several other locations but after yesterday’s dinner, this location have earned a special little spot in my heart. We did not have reservations and was surprised to get seats at 8pm. We were the last guests of the night. The menu was very straight forward - either sukiyaki, shabu2 or steak. You don’t need to question on the meat quality, it has stayed consistently excellent from my first visit in 2017 until today. Yesterday we had the beef from Kagoshima. The marbling was fantastic and it gives “melt in your mouth” a literal meaning. The raw egg adds a nice touch to every slice of beef. I was savoring each bite and didn’t want my dinner to end! The portion size was just enough that you don’t feel sick from the fattiness of the beef, topped with the finest produce…… Ah! It was a fantastic dinner and a wonderful experience. It has a very calming setting where everyone speaks softly and the ambience is what I will never get anywhere else. We had a wonderful server (Katsuri) I might have misspelt his name, but thank you so much for your hospitality. ☺️

Still one of the best in Tokyo. No need to eat expensive meat. The starter meat is already so good.
