I couldn’t find the New Shinbashi Building, which everyone knows about!
It was lunchtime in Shinbashi, but as a mere salaryman(businessman), I don’t know many of the restaurants in Shinbashi, the holy land of salarymen.
This is because I spent 25 years of my working life in the provinces, but that’s why finding a new restaurant is very refreshing.
This time, I looked for a restaurant with the angle of a long-established Western-style restaurant, and I hit on a place called “Musashiya” in the New Shinbashi Building.
“Let’s see, where is the New Shinbashi Building?”
“Seriously? Are you really a Tokyo salaryman?” you might be thinking, but that’s where I started. 💦
To my shame, the New Shinbashi Building was right in front of Shinbashi Station. 😅
I think I was probably the only salaryman that day heading for the New Shinbashi Building while looking at Google Maps.
This is a very popular Western-style restaurant that always has a long queue!
When I arrived at the restaurant and joined the queue, I was suddenly asked to place my order (the menu below is as of July 2023).
When I sat down at an empty seat and paid for my food, to my surprise, my food arrived less than 10 seconds later.
It’s definitely quicker than Yoshinoya.
Since it’s a counter-style restaurant with only 9 seats, I think they have to deal with a lot of customers at lunchtime, so they have to be quick.
I ordered an omu-rice, and the aroma of the butter was delicious and whetted my appetite.
The taste was the so-called “Western-style restaurant taste”, and it was very delicious.
I felt that this long-established Western-style restaurant, where you can eat a delicious omu-rice for 900 yen, is truly a holy place for fathers (as of August 2022).
About Musashiya
Musashiya is a long-established Western-style restaurant that was founded in 1885 (Meiji 18).
It was originally established as a shop selling boiled potatoes and roasted beans on Atagoyama near Shinbashi.
It later moved to Shinbashi and began to serve meals as it does today during the period of rapid economic growth in the Showa era.
The shop’s popular menu items are “Napolitan” and “omelette rice” (I also like hamburgers).
It uses plenty of butter, and is characterized by its large portions and low prices, which suit the many male customers who visit.
It is also open all day, which is great for those who missed lunch.
