Top 5 Best Restaurants of 2024
We will introduce the top 5 delicious restaurants in 2024.
In 2024, I ate various genres such as ramen, soba, sushi, yakiniku, etc.
It would be foolish to compare different genres using the same ranking, but I did go to the trouble of trying it out. . We will rank them indiscriminately.
For some genres, rankings for each genre are posted separately.

[Choose from over 30 bowls per year] Top 5 delicious standing soba restaurants in 2024
Extra edition: Yakiniku Stamina-en Toriton Toyosu
Although it is a sudden extra edition. .
The store you will probably visit the most in 2024 is located in Toyosu.Yakiniku Staminaen Toriton Toyosu Branch”.
I personally fell in love with this store, and so did my wife.
As the name suggests, this restaurant has a wide selection of chicken and pork dishes.
Since it's made with chicken and pork, it's cheap, and basically any menu item can be had for less than 500 yen per person.
I think it will cost less than 7,000 yen for two people to have a drink and eat, and it will cost no more than 10,000 yen for a hearty meal, so it's the perfect place to enjoy yakiniku on a casual basis.
Of course, the taste is delicious, and I personally recommend the Nankotsu type.
However, to be honest, I don't think it's worth visiting Toyosu.
This is the restaurant that I want you to remember first when you come to Toyosu for some business and want to eat dinner.
Now, let's introduce the ranking.
5th: Matsuya — Umatoma Hamburger Teishoku (Tomato-Sauce Hamburger Set Meal)
Matsuya's ``Umatoma hamburger set meal (830 yen)” was chosen in 5th place.
There may be some tsukkomi that I eat a lot of different things and then go out of my way to include Matsuya in the list. . After all, this kind of thing is delicious.
Matsuya's hamburger steaks originally have a strong meat flavor and strong seasoning, and even just the hamburgers without sauce are delicious.
It's topped with a tomato and garlic sauce that has a strong flavor, and if you want to add hot eggs to change the taste, it's a real treat.
That means it's the most delicious.
Of course, it goes well with rice, and if it goes well with rice, it also goes well with beer, so we recommend ordering it with beer.
It's a limited time menu that goes on sale around summer every year, so we're looking forward to seeing it in 2025.
Please check Matsuya's sales information as there is a possibility that it will sell out quickly due to the Bakidou effect.
4th: Sushi Keita — Omakase Course
Counter sushi restaurant in TsukijiSushi Keita” was chosen in 4th place.
The course is ``Omakase (Chef's Selection) course (25,000 yen)'', we ordered 5 pieces of kanji along with a drink, and the bill for two people was approximately 64,000 yen.
The biggest feature of this restaurant is that each piece is large.
In particular, Akagai (Ark Shell) and Torigai were the biggest in my life.
Being able to stuff my mouth full of sushi is nothing but happiness.
In terms of taste alone, I would say it's at the top, but since it costs a certain amount of money, I chose this ranking because I expected it to be reasonably delicious.
It was still possible to make a reservation when I visited in March 2024, but now (January 2025) it is difficult to make a reservation unless it is open for reservations.
It's expensive, and it's a bit difficult to make reservations, but if you like sushi and can eat a little more than most people, this is a restaurant you should definitely visit.
3rd: Loin Flower Road — Mix Grill (Mixed Grill Plate)
Located in Kobe Sannomiya.Loin Flower Road store” was chosen as third place.
Held in April, “Whiskey Harbor KobeI used it for lunch during the event.
I visited with no expectations at all just because it was the closest to the venue, but I was overwhelmed by the high quality of Kobe's Western food.
『Mixed grill (1,600 yen)The grilled chicken, mini steak, hamburger steak, and sausage were all delicious.
I can't believe you can eat this content and taste for only 1,600 yen. . I was overwhelmed from beginning to end.
I chose it as 3rd place because it was not what I expected at all, and there was a huge difference between being able to enjoy this much quantity and taste for this price.
I will probably visit Kobe again in 2025, so I think I will visit this shop again.
Also, it seems that there are many other restaurants of this level in Kobe, so I would like to explore Western food in Kobe.
2nd: New Tomochin — Chuka Soba (Chinese-Style Noodles)
Located in Shinbashi.New Tomochin” was chosen as second place.
The topic of “Chan-kei” This is a shop.
The menu is ``Chinese noodles (750 yen)” only, and the topping menu is “Wakame (100 yen)” only.
The rice is free, and the price of 750 yen is like a bug even though it contains so much Chashu (Braised Pork) that you could call it Chashu (Braised Pork) noodles at other shops.
`` is characterized by the richness of soy sauce and pork, and flat noodles with a chewy texture.Chan-kei'I fell in love with it the moment I ate it.
Since then, other ``Chan-kei” I also started going to the shops.
Honestly, I had eaten at other restaurants first when I went around, but...Chan-keiI was able to realize once again how delicious this store is, even though I wasn't addicted to it.
It can be quite difficult to visit, as it is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, its business hours are short, and there is always a line of more than 30 minutes, but we highly recommend that you give it a try.
1st place: Yajima: Kaki Ramen Shio (Oyster Ramen with Salt Broth)
Located at Toyosu Market.Yajima” was chosen as number one.
What I received was ``Oyster ramen Ushio (1,350 yen)” and “Butter (50 yen)” is recommended as a topping.
It contains large, plump oysters, and the umami of the oysters comes out well in the soup, making it a salt-filled ramen instead.
The milky oysters, also known as the milk of the sea, and the butter, a dairy product, went so well together that it was so delicious that I couldn't help but drink it all.
It's a limited-time menu that runs from late October to early spring, and as winter gets stronger, the oysters get bigger and stronger in flavor, so I'd like to visit again during the season.
『Toyosu Market = Sushi/Seafood BowlI think a lot of people have this image, but what I want to focus on is a cafeteria-like restaurant where market workers eat.
You can taste the taste that has been loved for many years, so of course the sushi and seafood bowl are good, but if you have the stomach, this is a restaurant you should visit.
Closing Thoughts
In 2024, I ate food from various genres and restaurants.
I'm basically stability-oriented, and if I find a restaurant that I think is delicious, I tend to go there instead of opening new restaurants.
In 2024, I mustered up a little courage and went to an area or store that I had never visited before, and I unexpectedly came across a delicious restaurant.
Not only in Japan, but also in each prefecture and Tokyo, even if you look at just one station or area in more detail, there are still many genres that you have never tried or restaurants that you have never visited.
In 2025 as well, I will try to muster up some courage and visit various areas and shops.
I would also like to delve deeper into foods other than ramen, soba, and sushi.
Are you interested in udon, curry, katsudon, or serious Chinese food?
We will continue to introduce various shops in 2025, so please look forward to it.
