Ginza Kiwagiwa Launches a Lunch-Only Wagyu Sukiyaki Set

Ginza Kiwagiwa, a creative Japanese restaurant that spends its evenings serving seasonal cuisine and course meals, has introduced a lunch-only menu designed to be enjoyed specifically at midday. The new Kuroge Wagyu Sukiyaki Gozen set centers on a sukiyaki dish that draws out the flavor of wagyu, offering a slightly indulgent lunch hour in Ginza.

Sukiyaki Gozen, Made for Lunch

The newly launched Kuroge Wagyu Sukiyaki Gozen is a lunch set built around the rich flavor of wagyu. It is designed to pair well with rice and to remain enjoyable from the first bite to the last, with attention paid to the satisfaction of every dish in the set so that the character of Kiwagiwa's cooking still comes through at lunchtime.

A Japanese Lunch Hour That Only Daytime Allows

Ginza Kiwagiwa is a creative Japanese restaurant built around the concept of standing "at the edge between the everyday and the special." For lunch, dishes are served gozen-style, a tray format that lets guests enjoy an unhurried meal even during a short break from work or a shopping trip in Ginza. The aim is to offer a moment that feels a little special within an otherwise ordinary lunch.

Evenings Bring Seasonal Creative Japanese Cuisine

In the evening, the restaurant serves creative Japanese dishes built around seasonal seafood and wagyu sourced from Toyosu Market. Guests can enjoy the chef's craftsmanship through course meals or à la carte dishes, with a lively counter as well as private rooms available, making the space suited to business dinners, anniversaries, and other gatherings.
