About Ginza Grand Premium Food Hall

Ginza Grand Premium Food Hall is located on the 6th floor between restaurants. The spacious food hall consists of 7 well-established restaurants, a fruit parlor, and a dining hall.

The 7 restaurants are located on the right and left sides with each restaurant having about 10 counter-seats around an open kitchen. The cuisines of each restaurant include sushi, yakitori, sukiyaki, teppanyaki, katsu, unagi, and Korean.

In the middle, you can enjoy a classic Japanese-style fruit parlor that serves desserts and parfaits as well as omurice and curry.

If you cannot decide on just one restaurant, the Daishoku, or dining hall, offers ample tables to site down and order from all 7 restaurants from a general a la carte menu.

Ginza Akabei Yakitori in Pictures

If you want yakitori, try out Ginza Akabei Yakitori which is the first restaurant on the left. The food hall is designed like a very clean and premium street food alley, and each restaurant has counter seats and an open kitchen to see the chefs in action.

The restaurant displays its drinks on the counter including premium sake, wine, and craft beer. Coedo is a classic Japanese craft beer with this Ruri as its signature Pilsner which is a nice crisp, light beer to pair with yakitori.

You can order a la carte or from one of the set menus. The set menus include a plate of appetizers. Here there are 3 kinds of appetizers including Chicken Sashimi (yes, raw chicken which is something you can trust in high-quality restaurants in Japan. The texture is so soft with a clean taste), Cold Roasted Duck, and Marinated Chicken Gizzards.

The set menu allows you to choose your yakitori sticks. In this case, it is Tsukune (chicken meatball), Tebasaki (chicken wing), and Shishito (green peppers). The trio comes out together on a plate. If you order a la carte, the skewers are served as soon as they are cooked.

The set menu includes the classic way to end a yakitori meal – with a bowl of oyakodon (chicken and egg over rice) with pickles and chicken broth. Because the chef is in front of you during the meal, he watches your pace of eating to time when to serve this last course.

One of the better tasting Oyakodons in Ginza because of how the chicken bits are grilled, the egg remains soft and runny, and in how the whole bowl is properly seasoned. The warm comfort of this last course serves to ensure you are satisfied and full from the whole meal.
