- Store Introduction - Established in 1894, the restaurant has been passed down through the generations with the motto "Yonezawa has a wave of success" and continues to refine the deliciousness of the finest Yonezawa beef.Founded in 1894, we have been a long-established Yonezawa beef restaurant for 130 years, and we have customers from the local Yonezawa area as well as from far away. We have continued to protect the deliciousness of the secret sauce and the highest quality Yonezawa beef that has been handed down from generation to generation, as the saying goes, "There is Tokiwa in Yonezawa." Please enjoy the legendary "Yonezawa beef" with the taste of this long-established restaurant.
In October 1894, Tokiha Beef Shop was opened in Aramachi, Yonezawa City by the founder, Ozaki Shokichi. It is said that at the time, beef was sold from autumn until around June when the snow that had been collected during the winter and packed down in the snow cellars in the north warehouse disappeared. Tokiha, now in its fifth generation, is the oldest beef shop in Yonezawa, and is committed to reliable quality and taste, earning the reputation that "Yonezawa has Tokiha," and has continued to protect the same delicious taste for generations.
The fifth generation owner himself selects the beef with a discerning eye. Since 2015, Yonezawa beef has been limited to "Japanese black heifers" and must be "32 months or older", making it even more of a mythical cow than before. By purchasing the best Yonezawa beef himself, he maintains high quality.
The original Yonezawa beef sukiyaki, which can be said to be the root of the characteristics of Yonezawa sukiyaki, is made with Tokiwa's secret sauce, which contains miso that has been passed down from generation to generation since the founder. It is characterized by its unique richness, with a secret ingredient of local miso made only from domestic soybeans. Please enjoy the taste of this 100-year-old secret recipe.
This dish is made with a base of local Yonezawa miso, a moderate amount of sake lees from a specially selected brewery that Yonezawa is proud of, and is aged to create a unique flavor. Tokinamizuke was invented in the late Meiji period, when refrigeration technology was not yet developed, as a way to make it available in Tokyo, far from Yonezawa. This masterpiece, which helped popularize Yonezawa beef, has been purchased by the Imperial Household Agency and has been highly praised since its creation in 1912.
