Some reviews are AI-translated.
Ningyocho Imahan is a long-established upscale sukiyaki and shabu-shabu restaurant founded in 1895, with a history spanning more than a century. This time, I visited the location in Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro, ready to enjoy a delicious wagyu meal.
The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The slices of wagyu from Kagoshima had evenly distributed marbling and an especially tempting pink color. Just seeing them brought to the table was enough to whet my appetite.
Since it's an upscale restaurant, attentive tableside service is usually provided. Guests only need to sit back comfortably and watch the staff skillfully cook the ingredients. Once the meat and other ingredients are cooked to perfection, you can elegantly dig in!
