The facility is a large-scale complex with 51 floors above ground, completed after roughly 25 years of redevelopment, and is known for its convenient location with direct underground access to Tokyo Station. Alongside a commercial zone centered on restaurants, it also houses offices, a theater, a bus terminal, and medical facilities.

The new store aims to offer the distinctly Japanese dining experience of gyukatsu (beef cutlet) for everyday lunches and dinners, as well as for a meal during a trip to Tokyo.

Gyukatsu Motomura Draws Attention From Japan and Overseas

Gyukatsu Motomura continues to spread worldwide through social media, drawing attention not only in Japan but overseas as well, having been visited by K-pop idols and influencers from around the world. It currently operates 35 stores in Japan and 2 in Taiwan, and the Tofrom Yaesu store, opening on September 10, 2026, will become its 36th store in Japan.

A Self-Finished Dining Experience Unique to Gyukatsu Motomura

Gyukatsu Motomura serves beef cutlet fried to a medium-rare finish. Guests place it themselves on a hot stone plate set in front of them, searing it to their preferred doneness, and enjoy it with rock salt, mountain wasabi, and a special sauce, among other condiments.

The thin breading that wraps the beef uses finely ground, carefully selected breadcrumbs, finished to a light texture that brings out the beef's flavor. Served on a single tray together with condiments and small side dishes, the style reflects Japanese hospitality along with the entertainment of enjoying the meal.
