Tabelog ratingUSHIGORO S. GINZA elevates the yakiniku experience by providing every guest with a private room and a personal grill master. The focus is on a theatrical, meat-forward tasting menu where staff cook each course of premium A5 wagyu for you at the table. The restaurant is designed for special occasions and high-end dining, with an atmosphere of exclusivity and a deep wine list to match.
Guests consistently praise the quality of the beef, which includes top-tier brands like Tajima and Omi wagyu. The seasonal 'K' course is a popular choice, featuring showpieces like truffle-laced sukiyaki, wagyu tartare topped with caviar, and the famous chateaubriand katsu-sando. Other highly rated cuts include the thick-cut black tongue (atsugiri kurotan), harami (skirt steak), and a finishing claypot rice with corn and beef filet.
While reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a small minority of diners have reported issues. These are rare but include occasional service failures, such as feeling rushed through the meal, and inconsistent English proficiency among staff. A few have also questioned the quantity of food for the price.
Expect to spend between ¥20,000 and ¥29,999 per person for lunch or dinner. Reviewers frequently mention booking the 'K' course, recently priced around ¥32,000 per person. One party of four reported a bill of approximately ¥160,000 before drinks. Note that a 10% service charge is added to the final bill, and drinks or wine pairings are a significant additional cost. For those seeking a top-tier wagyu experience with private service, it's widely considered a worthwhile splurge.
