Can Wagyu be Affordable? 2 Budget-Friendly Options in Tokyo!

Known for its marbling and melt-in-your-mouth texture, wagyu, or Japanese premium meat, is one of the most luxurious in the world. This means wagyu is typically expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. Today, Shizuka takes you to two affordable wagyu restaurants in Tokyo: Ushi ni Kanabou in Azabujuuban and Shibuya Ushihachi, which has an amazing view of Shibuya Crossing, where you can grill your own meat. Even better, you can reserve these two restaurants completely in English! 🥩 Reserve Ushi ni Kanabou Azabu-juban ➡️ https://bit.ly/4gGpQUE 🍖 Reserve Shibuya Wagyu Yakiniku USHIHACHI Kiwami ➡️ https://bit.ly/4iDXAnl What makes wagyu different from other kinds of meat, you may ask? Wagyu refers to four types of Japanese cattle and over 200 brands (including Kobe beef, Matsusaka wagyu, and more), which all undergo strict standards to be labeled as such. The result? Buttery, flavorful and tender beef unlike any you’ve tried before, and a must-try while in Japan.
