A Yakiniku Date in Shinjuku: Japanese BBQ at Kobeya

A slightly special yakiniku date in Shinjuku belongs at Kobeya.

A long-established yakiniku restaurant you can enjoy casually, and an evening that brings two people closer.

Within walking distance of Shinjuku Station and 3 minutes on foot from Shinjuku-gyoemmae Station, a 35-year-old institution you can enjoy casually: “Kobeya Yakiniku Shinjuku”.

The room has a comfortable buzz and a warm feel. Casual but somehow settling, the atmosphere is as good for a first date as it is for an anniversary.

― Kuroge Wagyu and offal direct from Shibaura Market ―

The fresh offal that arrives every morning and the hand-picked Kuroge Wagyu are only possible because of 35 years of trust along the supply route.

Rich lean cuts, springy offal, and rare cuts too. We recommend one of the courses with all-you-can-drink.

Have a drink, relax, and enjoy good yakiniku.

― Toast with The Premium Malt’s, poured at a “kamiawa” super-certified bar ―

The superb creamy head, poured with Japan’s finest technique, carries a bright aroma and the depth of the malt.

With a kamiawa head that brings out the flavour of the meat, spend an evening where “the food and the conversation both come alive”.

― The course made for a date ―

– Selection Course (¥7,000)

A course built around hand-picked premium lean cuts, 14 items in all, including our signature platter of three hand-picked lean cuts.
Offal can be swapped for beef cuts for +¥500, so nobody has to worry if it is not their thing.
The two of you choose between stone-pot bibimbap or Morioka cold noodles to finish, and there is ice cream afterwards — a line-up built for sharing, and a date that will not run short of smiles.

Shinjuku Station is a little over 10 minutes on foot. There is a park on the way, so walking back through the night air and talking as you go is a fine way to end the evening.

Have an unforgettable yakiniku date at Kobeya.
