Founded in 1978, this long-established and much-loved meat restaurant moved to a new location in 2017 and is now operating on the first floor of the V2 Building in Jingumae 4-chome. More than 40 years after its establishment, many people still visit the restaurant for its meat dishes such as beef halami and beef tongue.

Shizuru's signature dish is this first.

Even without a large portion, the standard amount of meat is still very satisfying. The rare grilled halami is tender and juicy, and the more you bite into it, the more flavorful it becomes. The combination with grated ponzu (Japanese citrus juice) is especially delicious, with an aftertaste that does not make you feel greasy.

2. Free refills of barley rice

The set menus come with rice with barley, which can be refilled at any time. The rice soaked in the meat sauce is so delicious that it will plunge you into an endless loop.

3. Tail soup and salad included

The set meal also comes with a lightly flavored tail soup and a cabbage salad with a delicious special dressing. The set meal is nutritionally balanced, and you will never get tired of eating it until the very end.
