Soju / Ginza



Ginza is dotted with long-established department stores and fine restaurants. There are restaurants where you can enjoy an exquisite lunch at a reasonable price even if it is too expensive for you to afford at night. Located on the basement floor of a building less than a five-minute walk from Ginza Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, "Souju "is an adult's retreat where you can slowly savor Japanese cuisine that makes the most of natural seasonal ingredients.

The best lunch at a reasonable price, served by a chef



The chef, who has studied at a famous restaurant that has been the purveyor to the Imperial Household Agency and at a Japanese restaurant in a hotel in Tokyo, prepares first-rate dishes. While evening course meals cost more than 10,000 yen, lunchtime set menus are available for an average budget of less than 2,000 yen. Many repeat customers come back to enjoy the best lunch experience of eating high quality Japanese food at a low price.

We recommend the daily special meal.



We recommend "Souju "'s "Daily Special Gozen (1,300 yen) " The main dish is a set of fresh seasonal sashimi and boiled or grilled fish. The seasonal fish sashimi changes according to the season, and the boiled fish seasoned in an aromatic broth has an exceptional taste that only a Japanese restaurant can offer. The set meal, which includes a small bowl of cooked food and a side dish, is nostalgic and reminiscent of traditional Japanese cuisine. You are sure to have a relaxing time, forgetting about the passage of time. The daily specials are available in limited quantities, so please allow plenty of time for your visit.
