The main "Nekoniku no Manyou" building, a landmark in Akihabara, will close its doors on Sunday, March 31, 2024, bringing an end to its 33-year history.

Nekoniku no Manyou" is a long-established restaurant that has been in business since 1949. In addition to operating a meat specialty restaurant in Akihabara, the company also operated 29 Western-style restaurants and ramen stores in the Kanto region and elsewhere.
The main store building of such an Akiba symbol, "Niku no Manyou," is a 10-story building, and each floor used to house various forms of "Niku no Manyou" stores.

As the grade of the stores gradually increased from the lower floors to the upper floors, it was said that the status of Akiba residents was to eat the finest teppan steak on the top 10 floors, but the business was scaled down due to the Corona disaster in 2020, and in 2021 it was revealed that the building had been sold to Nittetsu Kowa Real Estate Co. (It was revealed that the building was sold to Nittetsu Kowa Real Estate in 2021, and the stores on each floor were still operating as lease-backs.)
