[2025 Tokyo Restaurant] Travel Guide for Roast Beef Ōno Akihabara (Updated Oct)

5 days 4 nights Japan trip Starting the first day after landing at Narita Airport, the next station is ‘Choshi’ The first restaurant we went to is called ’Hitachi Fish Dish.’ The Japanese person who took us there recommended it because it’s quite popular, mostly visited in the evening. But even so, the food served was very fresh and delicious. Each of us got a set like this, absolutely amazing 👍🏻 Next, we went to ‘Yamasa Soy Sauce Factory visitor.’ We tried ice cream made from the factory’s soy sauce. The taste was super good, kind of like salted caramel ice cream. We also tried cola made from the sauce, which was great to drink with the sparkling drink served alongside—just perfect. On the second day, after traveling to Tokyo 🚅 We went around Ito Yokado near Kiba, where there’s a big 7-Eleven. After walking around the mall, before getting on the train, we stopped to buy hot matcha latte at Tully’s Coffee to recharge. Being in Japan, how can you miss this? In the evening, we went straight to eat fresh sashimi at ‘Kaiten Sushi Misaki.’ The taste was great, I give it 3 thumbs up. It felt like eating omakase for sure. The next day, we ate sushi again, but this time we tried a famous sushi chain that’s trending in Thailand now, called ‘Sushiro.’ I want to say the taste was amazing, even better because there was no need to queue here. In the evening, a Japanese friend invited us to eat sukiyaki together. Usually, we only see beef or pork sukiyaki, right? But here, no. It was ‘duck sukiyaki.’ Such a surprise, never tried it before. They said it’s a local dish from Nara city. The duck was very fresh with no gamey smell. The appetizers were great too. The best part was this meal was filling and budget-friendly 😂 The next day was time for our last day of exploring on our own 🫠 Today was like walking around, shopping for souvenirs, and eating!!! The first place we went to was Asakusa. The street food along the way was so abundant. I highly recommend the green tea shop in Asakusa—it’s amazing, with a strong roasted bean aroma. Next, we headed to Shibuya!! Time to find lunch. We decided to queue at ‘Roast Beef Ono’ after hesitating because the line was very long. The restaurant is underground, down the stairs. But I must say, meat lovers must not miss this place. The set we ate was A5 Wagyu beef, size M, priced around 2,200 yen, excluding drinks. The price was reasonable, but the taste was the best. We were full until dinner. After that, we walked around Shibuya for a while and stopped to eat dorayaki at a famous shop whose name I can’t remember, but the line was very long. We ended the dinner with yakiniku!!! Of course, coming to Japan without eating yakiniku is a no-no. For dinner, we went to ‘Gyu-Kaku’ near Shinjuku. The food was really good. It’s a buffet style with prices to choose from according to your budget. We went for the cheapest set, which was about 900 baht in Thai currency, but totally worth it. If you go to Japan, I hope you get to try the restaurants I recommended. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed 🫶🏻

Roast Beef Ohno: The ultimate experience of delicious wagyu donburi At Roast Beef Ohno in Akihabara, my wait was only about 20 minutes, which was lucky! I ordered the Kuroge Wagyu Donburi Set Meal M size (1980 yen) and added extra sauce (+150 yen). The waiter gave a detailed introduction to how to eat the dish before serving. Although I didn’t understand it, the Chinese guide on the table was very friendly 👍🏻. The sauce for this dish is absolutely indispensable, because the amount of rice is large at the end, and the sauce can enhance the flavor. The perfect combination of raw wagyu beef, eggs and mayonnaise makes every bite full of surprises🤩! If you are a meat lover, the Wagyu Donburi here is definitely worth a try! 📍Address: 101-0021 Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku, Sotokanda 1-chome 2-3 Tsuchiya Building, 1st floor, basement #food #wagyudon #akihabara #travelfood #japanesefood #foodrecommendations

The restaurant menu only has two options, one using Japanese domestic black hair wagyu beef (¥1980), the other using Australian wagyu beef (¥1210), and you can choose the portion of rice and sauce. It is strongly recommended to choose Japanese wagyu beef Beef is heated for 7 hours low temperature and then grilled, cooked well controlled, wagyu cut into thin slices, layer by layer rolled up stacked into a mountain of beef, the top of the mountain and put on the raw egg yolk, looks great🤤 eat the meat juice will not dry, soft meat, and melt in the mouth feeling 🥰 rice ordered m size 250g, for me the portion is just right, eat to the end of the sauce. The wasabi sauce will be served with sesame and basil leaves, the charriain sauce (menu is translated like this 🤣) will be served with wasabi and creamy yogurt, eat half can be added to the meat according to your preference. In addition, if you want a richer flavor, you can also add rock salt to highlight the meat flavor of the slow-cooked beef. In terms of sauce, I prefer mustard sauce. The little sour and spicy taste is appetizing and you won't feel greasy until the end🩵 The location of the shop is not big, the seating is quite crowded. The day on weekdays 11:30 to have a queue, waited about half an hour to enter, after eating out the queue to the street, it can be seen that the restaurant is really super popular 💯 do not want to wait so long everyone best restaurant open 11 o'clock to pass 🙈 In addition, Harajuku and Ikebukuro have branches, recommended to Tokyo everyone try! 📍Roast Beef Ohno Akihabara Sotokanda Tsuchiya Bldg.B1F, 1-2-3 Chiyoda, Tokyo 101-0021 #JuneFun2024 #JapaneseFood #TokyoFood
