Just a short walk from Shinbashi Station. A shop located in the basement of a building.
A small store with only a U-shaped counter.
Otoshi is a luxurious set of tamagoyaki, sesame sauce, and chikuzenni.
It costs nearly 1,000 yen, but it's a reasonable price.
"Shibaura Beef Nikomi"
4 pieces: Shiro, Hoho, Hachinosu, and Suji.
The rich sauce and soft stewed skewers will go well with alcohol.
The meat is tender and voluminous.
Meat Nankotsuyaki was a long meatball.
I chose the one with egg yolk and the grilled cheese.
Reservations can only be made by phone. The number of people is 2 or more. Punctuality.
Be sure to enter the store after the number of people has gathered.
Please let us know how many people you need for Shibaura beef stew when making a reservation.

This is a famous restaurant where you can enjoy a variety of dishes that are shockingly delicious.
The food is generally delicious, and you will be surprised from the appetizer onwards. Stir-fried bitter gourd is not bitter at all, and the deliciousness that took a lot of effort to make spreads in your mouth. Tamagoyaki has an amazing amount of soup mixed with the eggs, and has a delicious flavor that will make you want to eat several pieces.
Shibaura Beef Nikomi has surprisingly melt-in-your-mouth meat. The combination of the flavor of the meat and the flavor of the sauce is an exquisite dish that is difficult to describe. As the name suggests, this is a wonderful stewed dish that shocked you at the first bite. It seems that you can only order when you make a reservation, so we highly recommend making a reservation before coming to the store.
The liver and beef heart steaks are also carefully prepared and seasoned, making them the perfect snacks to accompany your drinks.
You can order Hoppy Red (55 Hoppy) and Sharikin, which are rare at a drinking bar. You can spend a wonderful time while drinking ordinary yet delicious sake that goes perfectly with delicious food.
The store owner's courteous response is also impressive. You can have a very satisfying time with the food, drinks, and customer service. It's a very popular restaurant, so be sure to make a reservation instead of just walking in.
