Sea urchin specialist restaurant Uni Goya has teamed up with one of Japan’s leading wagyu beef brands Ozaki Beef to open their new restaurant Yukke Goya. The grand opening was held in Shinsen, Shibuya on November 30, 2018.
To celebrate the opening, the restaurant is selling its Uni Special at the special price of ¥2,500 from the regular ¥3,500 until December 30. It’s made with world-renowned Ozaki beef and additive-free sea urchin which is imported by air every day.
The use of absolutely no coagulant alums in the sea urchin means the taste is never bitter or sharp. The taste is as close as possible to freshly fished sea urchin allowing you to practically enjoy the real strong and sweet taste obtained when fished fresh from the ocean.
Okazaki Beef is a name given to beef farmed from cows in Miyazaki that have been raised from calves by Muneharu Ozaki. This Japanese black beef is the only brand in Japan to have the rearer’s name attached to it. Its international recognition comes from the quality of fat in the beef. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say there are no other brands out there at such a high quality and with such light fat. To fully enjoy this lean meat and its fat, Yukke Goya will serve it sliced as yukhoe but replace the egg yolk with sea urchin.
Ozaki Beef – 3 Grill Combo
(Small) 1-2 People – ¥5,200 → ¥3,900 (Pre-Tax)
(Large) 3-4 People – ¥10,400 → ¥7,800 (Pre-Tax)
This triple grill combo is served rare and offers the full delicious flavour of Ozaki beef. It comes with lean Ozaki beef, specially selected A5 grade fillet, and Chateaubriand steak to taste and compare.
This Chateaubrian steak, cut from the thickest part of a fillet of beef, is served very rare (cooked in 30 seconds). By eating it with the accompanying truffle salt you can enjoy the sweet and full delectable flavour of the meat.
Ozaki Beef x Additive-Free Sea Urchin Yukke: ¥2,400 (Pre-Tax)
It isn’t packaged sea urchin that is used for this dish – it’s saltwater sea urchin. No coagulant alums or any other additives are used. Instead, it is shipped soaked in sterilised saltwater with the same salt content as in the ocean. It is shipped from Hokkaido on the same day it is caught fresh.
There are 20 specially selected sea urchin dishes to choose from including the Sea Urchin Shabu, Sea Urchin Glutton and more. Food connoisseurs won’t be able to resist the menu over at Yukke Goya!
The good old days food such as spaghetti Neapolitan, shaved ice cream, hot cake, and yakisoba has been becoming popular again. These are nostalgic foods for looking back at good old memories for people who are born in Showa era(1926~1989), and it also is kind of new food for people who are born in Heisei era(1989~).
I would like to focus on “Monja-yaki” as the next Showa gourmet trend. People who are living in other than Kanto area may not be familiar with this food. There are two different ways to cook Monja-yaki in Tokyo; Asakusa way and Tsukishima way.
The big difference is to make the base or not. The base is like building a breakwater not to spread dough on the pan. Tsukishima way is to make a base with ingredients such as cabbage at first and then pour the dough on to it. On the other hand, Asakusa way is to make the thin crust with dough at first and then eat it with chopped ingredients on the pan.
Sato Koji who manages unique restaurants such as “Cristiano’s” in Yoyogi-uehara and “Pappon Kitchen” in Shibuya opened the new restaurant called “Osozai to Senbei-Monja Sato” this year.
As a lot of experienced chefs who learns a lot about multi cultural food, he prepared from standard Monja-Yaki to unique ones such as Russian style ones(1620yen include tax) which has beets and sour cream and Thailand’s style(1620yen include tax) which has fish sauce.
Asakusa style thin crust type Monja is the one which Mr.Sato has been eating since he was little. I highly recommend you to enjoy the nostalgic food in this at home restaurant.

Delicious dishes made in a Dutch oven in Shibuya! “OUTDOOR DISH MARUTA” grand opening!
Good news! A new beer garden has opened in Udagawa, Shibuya! With the concept of “enjoyment of an outdoor space on the way back from work”, the “Outdoor dish Grill & Wine MARUTA Udagawa” invites you to just bring yourself and enjoy!
Featuring outdoor dishes served in logs!
At MARUTA, the logs that are used to serve the meals are made from wood sourced from a timber wholesale store in Yamanashi prefecture. MARUTA then shapes these logs into dishes. Using a Dutch oven to prepare the meals, the maximum flavour from the ingredients is drawn out. Take a moment to enjoy a delicious outdoor meal from MARUTA’s summer limited edition menu on an open terrace.
“Smiling faces acknowledging the refreshing feeling of this open space, as if they are visiting a summer resort. I want to offer this feeling from the centre of Shibuya.” – This is the initial idea from which the outdoor bar “MARUTA” was born.
The popular menu includes “Babetto (Ushi no Harami) no Ahiijo”. This dish features beef and chopped onion that has been marinated for approximately one day, and then fried in garlic oil for the ultimate tender texture. Another tongue-tantalizing dish is the “Roast Beef Massaman Curry”— a log dish of three layers filled with vegetables, beef, tortillas and much more. The dish is completed with curry sauce.
There is also a whole roast chicken on the menu. The whole chicken is marinated with original spices and cooked in a Dutch oven. The grilled dishes are packed with goodness and overflowing with originality.
Make sure you check out this new spot in Shibuya! OUTDOOR DISH MARUTA is waiting for you!
