On July 5th, GEMS KANDA opened as the 4th installment of the popular "Gourmet Building" series. From the 1st basement floor to the 8th floor above ground, there are 9 stores in total, one on each floor.

In Eating, we will introduce 9 restaurants divided into 3 genres with an approximate budget. There are plenty of hot stores such as new formats of popular stores!

A little feast

8th floor " Meat Takumi Shotaian "
A yakiniku restaurant with its head office in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture. You can enjoy "A5 rank female beef" with charcoal-grilled meat or raw. But now, the hottest thing is "drinkable hamburger steak". It attracted a lot of attention when exhibiting at the meat festival. You can eat it at a great price at lunch.


7th floor "Akasaka Umaya Kanda"
A restaurant that uses ingredients from Kyushu. The "Kurobuta Ribs Shabu-Shabu Hot Pot" (2900 yen), which is eaten with tonkotsu soup, is an original menu that is also popular at the Akasaka main store. In addition, the third generation Ichikawa Ennosuke (currently the second generation Ichikawa Ennosuke) is also directing, and the set meal "Backstage Meshi" (1,482 yen), which arranges the lunch box to be delivered to the Kabuki dressing room, is also a specialty.


5th floor "Kuzushi Iron Plate Abagura"
A new format of a company that develops popular meat restaurants such as "Cocorico" and "Gabri". A teppanyaki restaurant that offers high quality materials with "surprising cost performance". The point is the assortment of sake. It is always offered on a daily basis at a flat price of 500 yen for 15 types and 0.6 go.

Between "always" and "feast"

6th floor "GARDENS"
A shop where you can enjoy Sanriku ingredients sent directly from the producer along with the story of the ingredients. A lot of seafood such as oysters are lined up. The unique "single sale" is to select fish and have them cooked in any way you like, such as sashimi, grill, simmered dishes, and aqua pazza. There is also a photogenic tiramisu, which is full of female humor elements.


3rd floor "Kanda chopstick hermitage"
Soba and sake shop. Drink while pinching food, and sip handmade soba noodles-even a woman can enjoy such a way. The summer menu "Duck Tataki and Summer Vegetable Bukkake" (1,200 yen) is a colorful dish with morimori vegetables on it.

There is an electric millstone near the entrance, which draws lumps, lumps, and buckwheat. "If you close the shop at night without moving the mortar, you won't be able to hit the buckwheat the next day. Because there is no buckwheat powder," (by the clerk). It was the moment when I experienced "handmade soba" fiercely.

For casual everyday use

4th floor "Italian bar 2538 (Nikomiya) Kanda store"
An Italian bar produced by Kitasenju's famous bistro "2538 (Stewed)". The signature menu is "Beef Hoho Meat Boiled in Red Wine" (500 yen), which has been simmered for 3 days. Meat that is so savory that you can break it down with just a spoon and eat it once will make you sick.

Also pay attention to "Homemade Sangria" where you can enjoy 20 kinds of combinations. It is a unique style of "breaking and drinking" with red or white wine by combining the original base and 10 kinds of juice. Is it an image like hoppy?


2nd floor "JB Kanda"
The popular restaurant "Massive Bistro Jill" from Meguro has opened as a "Japanese bistro" that combines French and Japanese cuisine. It is said that the main dishes are arranged with a Japanese taste while using French tricks. Many of the menus are available in half size, which is very helpful when the number of people is small.

In addition, since the elevator cannot be used, you will have to go up the stairs from the 1st floor (wheelchairs etc. are available). The elevator hall is going to be squared.


1st floor "Wine Shokudo Yajuro Kanda Kajicho"
A new store of "Wine Bar Yajuro" that is being developed mainly in Tokyo. A wide variety of wines, including those imported in-house. The hearty dishes are also attractive. Prosciutto ham sliced after receiving an order, lively homemade sausage, roast beef carbonara (lunch / how meat is 90g (3.17oz)!) ... Wine is also reasonable, so you can enjoy cospa well.


B1F "Niigata Bar Brewery Gems Store"
There is only a shop directly managed by a liquor store in Niigata City, and Niigata's sake is lined up. The ingredients are mainly from Niigata. There are also desserts that use amazake. If GARDENS (6th floor) is "Western seafood", this is "Japanese seafood". You can use it according to your mood.
