Normal restaurant where you can get the regular foods. Nothing extra ordinary on the menu, more western foods with hotdogs and potatoes. Good place to hang out if you’re tired of walking in Akihabara. The pork was totally ok and the staff was very fast.

GINZARAIONAKIHABARARAJIOKAIKANTEN! 銀座ライオン 秋葉原ラジオ会館店 One of the many things to check off on my list of to-do’s in Japan was to visit one of the mighty Ginza Lion beer halls. With a few hours to kill after taking in the wonders of Electric City, some early evening bites and brews fit into the agenda. Without so much of a stumble out of Akihabara station, the big bright neon yellow star & lion emblem drew me right in. This location recently opened in the basement floor of the re-opened Radio Kaikan Building. Walking in, you can tell it’s pretty new, clean and well ventilated. With the smoking sections partitioned off to the sides of the establishment, you never get a smoke filled vibe in the place. The whole Ginza schtick is meant to resemble a German beer hall. The help, donned in their outfits,(lederhosen included) pairs up with a menu full of sausages, pretzels, mustards and dipping sauces, not to mention a formidable array of Japanese snacks/appetizers and entrees. They also feature a number of German and European beers, as well as domestic drafts. The food: Not wanting to spoil a dinner a few hours away, I decided to order from the appetizers section and go with the horse meat tataki and fried chicken cutlets — just incase the horse meat didn’t go over well. But it did. It went over very well — if that future dinner wasn’t on the horizon, another order would have been had. The raw red meat tastes a lot like beef tataki, just a bit tougher. It’s seared just a little out the outsides, but was rather cold, coming right out of the freezer, to kitchen, to table. A definite recommend, especially since you won’t find it in the ‘States. The fried chicken was just that, nothing great or horrible, just small fried chicken chunks to snack on. The brews: My eats were paired with 2 Yebisu craft brews. Not the premium malts(Miller equivalent of light beer), but rather their higher end, darker beers — Creamy Stout and Black Lager. Both were fine dark beers, although the Black Lager won out between the two. It had a full taste and was not too heavy for me to pony up for a second round. Unbeknownst to me, the purchase of a beer and food made me eligible for a free side dish — by game of chance. After a little language barrier was broken down on the process, I drew a ticket, the server left and he came back a few minutes later to inform me that I won a tomato to go with my meal. It could have been a potato, small salad, corn of the cob, plate of pickles, or any number of small side dishes like that. That being said, the service was great all around. The prices were very reasonable. No table fee or service charge and the menus are in both Japanese & English. All around, it’s a great spot to grab a small bite and a brew or two.
