I highly recommend the cheese fondue at BEER & WINE GRILL Ginza Lion in Ginza 7-chrome. The bread and vegetables are delicious when dipped in the melted cheese.
BEER & WINE GRILL Ginza Lion is a restaurant owned by Sapporo Beer Co. They serve fresh beer that is delivered directly from the factory to the restaurant. They also have a wide variety of wine and soft drinks.
BEER & WINE GRILL Ginza Lion
The restaurant is located at Ginza 7-9-20. It is a short walk from Ginza Station on the Ginza Line.
The building was built in 1934 as the headquarters of Dainippon Beer Co. The first floor of the beer hall is almost the same as it was when it was built, but the kitchen and bathrooms have been updated. There is a large mural on the front wall of the beer hall that shows women harvesting beer wheat.
BEER & WINE GRILL is on the second floor. When you walk in, you’ll see a beer hall in front of you. Go up the stairs to the right of the beer hall to get to BEER & WINE GRILL. There is a carving of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, on the wall of the staircase landing.
YEBISU Draft Beer
I tried Yebisu Beer, which was made in 1890 by a company that later became Sapporo Beer. This beer tastes strong and rich because it’s made from only malt.
The beer glass had an image of Ebisu, a Japanese god of luck, prosperity, and fishing. He is shown as a smiling man holding a fishing rod in his right hand and a red sea bream in his left. The image below is Ebisu.
Caesar Salad with Fresh Grilled Bacon
This salad is full of delicious, freshly cooked bacon. I served it with a dressing made with half-boiled eggs.
Cheese fondue
The waiter brought a stove and a pot of cheese to the table. He turned on the stove and the cheese started to melt.
The ingredients were hot vegetables, such as small tomatoes, boiled potatoes, and broccoli.
The French bread in the basket was cut into small pieces that could be easily bitten off.
Potato
I ate crispy potatoes with melted cheese on top. The potatoes were delicious.
Mini tomato
The tangy tomatoes and flavorful cheese were a delicious pair.
Broccoli
The crispy broccoli added a nice texture to the dish and went well with the cheese.
Bucket
In Switzerland and France, a popular way to eat hardened bread is to dip it into melted cheese. If you drop your bread in the pot, you have to buy everyone wine!
I really liked the bread with a lot of melted cheese on it.
Scorched cheese
As the cheese in the pan ran low, it started to burn and stick to the bottom. We scraped off the crispy cheese and ate it. It was delicious.
Ginza Roast Beef
Ginza Lion’s roast beef is a limited-time special. You can choose from gravy sauce, Japanese grated sauce, or original steak sauce. My roast beef was cooked perfectly, with a browned crust and a slightly pink interior. It was moist and tender.
Omelet with hashed beef and rice
After that, I ordered an omelet rice dish. It was a delicious combination of a tender, half-cooked omelet and a slightly sweet, minced meat sauce made with chicken and mushrooms.
LION Mixed Pizza
Ginza Lion’s signature mixed pizza is a delicious combination of crispy dough, soft cheese, and flavorful ingredients. It’s the perfect dish to enjoy with a cold beer.
Ginza Lion Ginza 7-chrome is a retro restaurant that has been serving up delicious food and beer since 1934. The restaurant offers a unique twist on traditional Japanese cuisine, and some of its dishes can only be found there.
