Searching for a family-friendly yakiniku spot in Tokyo's Ginza district? Futago Ginza offers delicious wagyu and offal at a surprisingly affordable price.

A trip to Tokyo just isn't complete without indulging in some incredible yakiniku, and if you're traveling with kids, this grilled meat experience is an absolute must-try! It's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for all ages.
For our final dinner on our recent Tokyo adventure in 2026, we chose "Futago," a highly-rated yakiniku restaurant located in the upscale Ginza district. Despite Ginza's reputation for being pricey, Futago offered fantastic flavor and surprisingly great value, which is why I'm excited to share our experience.
1. Location & Booking Tips
📍 Osaka Yakiniku Horumon Futago Ginza
Japan 〒104-0061 Tokyo, Chuo City, Ginza, 7-chōme−3−13 ニューギンザビル 2F
📍Address: New Ginza Building No. 1, 2F, 7-3-13 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo
Conveniently located between Ginza Station and Shimbashi Station.

The restaurant's full name is actually "Osaka Yakiniku Horumon Futago Ginza."
It's quite a mouthful, so most people just refer to it as "Futago ふたご."
Futago has several branches across Tokyo, including a few in Ginza. We opted for the Ginza location closest to our hotel.
Given its popularity, especially during dinner hours, we made a reservation in advance through Google Maps – a smart move to avoid waiting!

Finding the restaurant can be a little tricky as it's located on the second floor of a building.
There's a cafe on the first floor where smoking is permitted,

But Futago itself is upstairs on the second floor of this very building.
2. Multilingual Menu & Ordering


When we arrived at our reservation time, our table was already set. We appreciated the thoughtful detail of under-seat storage, perfect for keeping our jackets and bags free from any smoky smells.

Upon seating, we were given a QR code that led to a multilingual menu, including English. This made ordering incredibly easy and stress-free. While a cold draft beer is often considered the classic pairing for yakiniku,

I found myself craving sake, so that's what I ordered first.

For the meat, we started with a platter of horumon (offal) and beef tongue (gyutan).


Since we were dining with our child, we also ordered some rice, kimchi, and a fresh salad to balance out all the meat.

The kimchi was perfectly decent, and the salad, with its zesty kick of wasabi, was an excellent accompaniment to the rich grilled meats.

After the beef tongue and horumon platter, we just kept ordering more cuts of meat throughout the meal.


I believe we had skirt steak (harami), short ribs (kalbi), and even some pork. We also got another bowl of rice!

With a hungry teenage child, it's easy to get carried away and order a bit of everything!

For some cuts, the staff would kindly grill the meat for us, while others we got to cook ourselves to our desired perfection.


After finishing the sake, we moved on to classic draft beer and even tried "Hoppy," a unique Japanese izakaya drink.
It's a beer-flavored beverage that you mix with shochu (a Japanese distilled spirit). It's a fun way to immerse yourself in the local izakaya culture! If you see Hoppy ホッピー on the menu, I highly recommend giving it a try!
We ate so much that by the middle of the meal, I honestly lost track of everything we'd ordered. We were completely stuffed!
After such an indulgent feast, I started to worry about the final bill.

To my pleasant surprise, the total for all that delicious wagyu, drinks, and sides came out to just a little over ~$70! To enjoy such a generous yakiniku meal with high-quality wagyu in the heart of expensive Ginza at that price point was truly exceptional value. Most importantly, my child absolutely loved the food, which made the experience even more rewarding.
The staff were incredibly friendly, and the restaurant had a good mix of both tourists and Japanese locals. I appreciated that it didn't feel overly touristy. Plus, the entire establishment is non-smoking, which made for a very comfortable dining experience for our family.

While the ventilation could have been a bit better, they thoughtfully provided fabric spray (like Febreze) at the exit, which was a nice touch.


After our meal, we enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the Ginza streets at night. While Ginza is a bustling area in Tokyo, it feels less chaotic and crowded than places like Shinjuku or Shibuya, making it perfect for an evening walk.
If you're searching for a fantastic yakiniku restaurant in Ginza, especially one that's family-friendly and offers great value, I wholeheartedly recommend Futago.

It was a truly satisfying meal in terms of both taste and price, leaving us feeling happy and content.

Futago Ginza is located on the 2nd floor of New Ginza Building No. 1, 7-3-13 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. It is situated between Ginza Station and Shimbashi Station, and since it's on the second floor of a building with a smoking-friendly cafe on the first floor, it might be a bit difficult to find.
Futago Ginza is entirely non-smoking, making it a pleasant environment for dining with children. Coats and bags can be stored in the storage space under the chairs to prevent odors, and a QR code for a Korean menu is also provided. Additionally, Febreze is available in case ventilation is insufficient.
This article mentions that eating plenty of Wagyu with a teenage middle school child cost a little over ~$62. It was evaluated as good value for money to be able to eat Wagyu Yakiniku at this price in the expensive heart of Ginza.
Yes, Futago Ginza provides a QR code with a Korean menu, making ordering convenient. This article mentions ordering Horumon (assorted offal), Beef Tongue, and a wasabi-flavored salad that pairs well with meat.
