Musashiya
Located in New Shimbashi Building 1F in front of Shimbashi Station. Founded in 1885 (Meiji 18), this 140-year-old Western-cuisine institution runs a tiny 3-tsubo (approx. 10 sqm) space with only 4 counter seats, yet daily lunch queues never cease. The menu follows recipes learned at Tokyo Kaikan and Imperial Hotel by the 3rd-generation owner's brother. Signature dish: thin omelette omurice with buttery chicken fried rice. Tabelog 3.49/2,991 reviews. Tabelog Yoshoku '100 Best' 2022. Tripadvisor top-10 in Shimbashi.
Longtime regulars say: 'The unchanged flavor over 140 years is comforting.' 'There's nothing else in Tokyo at this price with this portion.' 'A tiny shop means no cutting corners — that's why it's delicious.' Office workers have been loyal patrons for generations. Arrive early to avoid long queues.
