Best steakhouse in Tokyo near Prime Cut 2026?
Try Teppanyaki Steak Roppongi for lunch, the 150g wagyu set runs about 9,000 yen and it's the same beef minus the dinner markup.
Same beef, yes, but the lunch queue starts before 11:30.
yeah get there by 11 or dont bother
The lunch set is solid but they only do 20 portions a day, so call ahead or you're eating the 12k dinner course anyway.
they also hold a few portions back for walk ins at open, so showing up right at 11 sometimes works
Good call on the lunch set but book ahead, walk ins get turned away most weekdays since the office crowd fills it by noon.
honestly for under 15k u should look at yakiniku places not steakhouses. Gyubee in Shinjuku does A5 wagyu sets around 8k and the meat quality is legit. not dry aged but prob the best value for wagyu in teh city.
Fair point, but Yakiniku Jumbo does the same for around 12k.
Yoroniku in Aoyama, counter seats only.
Agree on the value, though Gyubee gets packed weekends so weekday lunch is the smarter play.
Tokyo work visa renewal 2026: what documents do I need?
Your employer files the COE at their local immigration bureau, so ask them to start it now since it takes 1 to 3 months.
Agreed, and add a month of buffer since January is peak renewal season at the Shinagawa immigration bureau.
ask them to send u the COE scan before u book the flight
employers here often drag their feet on the COE until u nudge them, so get a written timeline from them first
One thing: the bakery needs a 雇用保険 and 社会保険 setup before immigration will even look at it, so confirm they've got that sorted.
Timing matters too: COE applications submitted in late March tend to clear faster than the December crunch before the new fiscal year.
Right, and it's worth naming the actual office on your side of the desk: the employer lodges it at the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau at Konan, Minato, not the local ward office. Some bakeries assume otherwise and lose a week.
The usual snag is the job description: "baker" alone can read as unskilled, so the employer should write it around baking techniques and recipe development to fit the skilled labour category. Also check your passport name matches the COE exactly, middle names cause delays.
Also get the employer to attach a few photos of finished products and any competition or training certificates, since immigration officers here respond well to visual proof.
Middle name mismatch cost me six weeks. Match exactly.
