Yet another yakiniku restaurant from Tokyo, Shin Nihon specialises in everything related to beef. Go from beef tartare to beef sushi for starters before moving on to wagyu beef cutlet and your favourite cuts of the cow. If you're looking for carbs to pair with your meal, we hear that the garlic stone bowl rice or pickled plum rice options make a great choice.
