NIKUGEN Akasaka is gearing up for its grand reopening on October 14, 2025, and reservations are now being accepted. Situated in the bustling district of Akasaka, Tokyo, this restaurant promises to offer an upscale dining experience centered around exquisite wagyu beef.
The restaurant is located at 2-14-33 Akasaka, 2F, Akasaka Mita Building, and can be reached at 03-5797-7390. With operating hours from 4 PM to 11 PM on weekdays and from 11 AM to 11 PM on weekends (last orders by 11 PM), diners can enjoy their meals in a sophisticated setting. The establishment features a total of 27 tables with a seating capacity of 109, including five private rooms for those seeking a more intimate atmosphere.
At NIKUGEN, the star of the menu is undoubtedly the A4 and A5 grade wagyu beef sourced from Kyushu. The cuts are presented in a yaki-niku style allowing guests to savor large cuts such as ribeye and thick-cut chateaubriand. Known for being a place to celebrate special occasions, the restaurant offers a "dining experience for a special day."
In addition to the fine wagyu dishes, the Akasaka location undergoes a remarkable transformation through a rebranding initiative. The drink menu has been completely revamped, shifting its focus from primarily wine to include over 35 varieties of whiskey, featuring the world’s five major whiskey brands. This new pairing with wagyu presents a unique culinary adventure where international cultures intersect in a Brooklyn-inspired ambiance.
The idea behind the transformation is not just about upgrading the physical space but also creating a new tasting experience that merges whiskey with premium cuts of beef, enhancing the overall dining enjoyment.
