VinIX

Restaurant Details

In a sea of conformity, VinIX (pronounced “vank”) rises as an oasis of originality. Borrowing pages from a Frenchman’s fine dining playbook, it’s surprising to know that this Azabu Juban institution is, above all else, a yakiniku house.

For VinIX, dry-aging steak is treated with the same reverence as storing gold in a vault. The concept clearly won’t be lost to the diners. Right past the entrance, a stainless steel-covered corridor leads to a safety deposit box — in this case, an elegant private haven of ornate silhouettes, ruby-red accents and dominant black tones.

Taking the concept further, VinIX introduces its groundbreaking Beef Bank System. Here, guests can purchase their premium cuts of beef and store them in-house for custom dry-aging. Just like gold appreciating over time, the flavor of these steaks deepens with every passing day.

The evening revolves around Tamura beef, a premium wagyu variety from the esteemed Tajima cattle lineage. Revered as the “father of all wagyu,” these cattle are raised like royalty — soothed by classical music and fed a wheat-based diet that enhances the richness of their meat.

The tasting menu reflects VinIX’s French integration. It begins with amuse-bouches featuring luxurious elements like caviar, followed by creative dishes such as foie gras transformed into succulent mini burgers. Even the restaurant's seasonal fish dishes are masterpieces, created by combining seasonal ingredients with the chef's skills.

Even more remarkable is that the intimate dining is orchestrated by just four core staff members, helmed by Chef Saotome Tatsuya, a Tokyo native with a background in French cuisine. Joining him are a certified sommelier, a former bartender and a master griller. This is a Tokyo institution that tells a story of change, charm and new culinary directions.
