Introducing the brand new JCB Platinum Restaurant Service, a recently launched initiative for JCB members ranked Platinum or above. This amazing offer allows members reserving a course meal for two or more people to get one person’s meal completely free! We visited the teppan-yaki restaurant ‘Bonte’, which is available through this service, to see what kind of delicious course meal we could enjoy!

Fine dining at ‘Teppan-yaki Steak Bonte’ using JCB Platinum Restaurant Service
Today we visited ‘Teppan-yaki Steak Bonte’ restaurant in Tokyo, located just a two-minute walk from JR Asakusa-bashi Station, within walking distance of Akihabara and close to Ueno and Tokyo Station.
This stylish restaurant has one main counter and two semi-private counter rooms (private room fee: 3,630 yen per room, tax included). The whitewashed walls and chic interior create a modern and fresh atmosphere – no doubt one of the many reasons why Bonte is often used for special occasions such as anniversaries and dates. This luxurious space feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the Tokyo streets.
The ‘Selected Seasonal Course’ (22,000 yen per person including tax and 10% service charge) is offered as part of the JCB Platinum Restaurant Service. This luxurious full course includes not only steak, but also fresh sea urchin, abalone, lobster, and other high quality seasonal ingredients. Bonte, which always has 80 varieties of wine on hand, also offers a popular set wine menu (3 glasses for 4,800 yen, 5 glasses for 6,800 yen, tax included) in which the sommelier will introduce the perfect wine pairings for your delicious course meal.
The course appetizer is an ‘Appetizer Assortment of Seasonal Ingredients and Wagyu Beef’. On the day we visited, this included tantalizingly tasty A5 Wagyu beef sashimi. The menu changes frequently, and the expert chef will serve you a tailormade dish based on the specific flavor profile of the Wagyu beef he has been supplied that day.
At Bonte, the fresh sea urchin is always lightly steamed in a bamboo steamer to accentuate the natural seafood sweetness and richness.
Then comes the ‘Live Abalone Steak’ - a dish of raw abalone seasoned sparingly with salt and pepper and served with komatsuna greens and a sumptuous Vermouth Jus.
Next is the ‘Steamed and Grilled Live Lobster’ - a decadent shared dish for two that uses lobster from Mie Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, and other areas in Japan. Watch the entertaining flourish of flames as the chefs showcase their flambé skills, then dig into the tender, juicy, melt-in-the-mouth lobster.
Now for the main dish – carefully selected A5 rank Japanese black beef, served as both sirloin and fillet steak. Each thick cut weighs 50 grams, and the beautiful, marbled texture is an enchanting sight only seen in authentic Japanese wagyu.
The sirloin was tender and buttery, while the filet was rich and meaty. Both cuts were irresistibly delicious and paired perfectly with red wine (extra charge).
The set course menu also includes garlic rice, pistachio ice cream, assorted cakes, and an after-dinner drink. With so much volume and flavor, it’s the perfect dinner to satisfy any foodie.
