A yakiniku and Korean restaurant 2 minutes on foot from the north exit of Nakano Station. Established in 1987 (about 35-plus years ago), this long-standing restaurant prides itself on yakiniku made with quality wagyu rated A4 or above. It offers outstanding value and daily recommended cuts such as "Today's Five Special Selections." Besides yakiniku, it also features a wide range of authentic Korean dishes, including sundubu, chijimi, and simmered beef tendon. They are committed to homemade sauces, including some you can only enjoy here. The extensive menu and good value make this a restaurant you want to visit again. The especially recommended courses are below🔻 ①🍻🍖Most popular No.1 ◆Best-Value Course+All-You-Can-Drink with 40 Choices◆ 10 dishes total+all-you-can-drink including draft beer for 4,490円 (tax included) →This price includes yakiniku+all-you-can-drink ②🥩The food course alone is also OK ◆Best-Value Course◆ (10 dishes total) 2,990円 (tax included) →Without alcohol, you can enjoy it at this price ③🍺A 1-hour all-you-can-drink option is also available 990円 (excluding tax), including draft beer →All-you-can-drink for under 1,000円 ④🍻Standalone all-you-can-drink is OK ◆2-hour all-you-can-drink 1,640円 (tax included)◆ (Includes draft beer for the toast/40 choices total)

The value for money is incredible! This accomplished yakiniku restaurant has been in business for 38 years and lets you casually enjoy carefully selected, high-quality meat. This time we had the 【Top-Grade Yakiniku Course+Great-Value All-You-Can-Drink〈40 choices〉】 (6,990円). ▪️ Small starters Mixed namul, fresh kimchi ▪️Meat appetizer Roast yukhoe made with lean meat The portion was substantial, and it was so delicious it hardly felt like just an appetizer! ▪️Salad Choregi salad ▪️3 salt-seasoned cuts Thick-cut jo tan shio, finest-quality liver, today's lean meat (rump) The liver was fresh with absolutely no off smell, and even the sesame oil had pepper in it, which earned extra points. ▪️4 types of horumon Jo mino (miso), shimacho (salt), thick-cut hatsu (salt), today's horumon (aka senmai) Everything was incredibly fresh and went amazingly well with the green chili vinegar sauce! ▪️4 sauce-seasoned cuts Thick-cut harami, tomosankaku, sasami, today's special selection (ichibo) Everything was delicious, and the ichibo had a refreshing finish without heavy fat, making you want to eat slice after slice ▪️To finish Reimen or ishiyaki bibimbap or special simmered beef tendon Absolutely everything was delicious! Every cut was tender with no sinew or anything, the sauces were thoughtfully made, and the extensive menu was just what you would expect from a yakiniku restaurant that also offers Korean food. We did not drink wine this time, but the selection was extensive and reasonably priced, so I thought the value was excellent too! (Next time I would like to enjoy some wine🍷) With a 2,990円 course without alcohol, a 4,490円 course with all-you-can-drink, and even standalone 2-hour all-you-can-drink for just 1,640円, I thought the value was simply unbeatable! I am grateful for prices like these in this day and age. The tables inside are spacious and you can sit comfortably, so it felt very cozy. We arrived at 18時, but it filled up right away, so I think you should reserve before going. The atmosphere was bright and lively yet relaxed, which was really lovely! The staff were also very courteous and had wonderful smiles. A restaurant where I could feel the experience of 38 years in business, and one I definitely want to visit again!

A yakiniku restaurant a little under 10 minutes on foot from Machiya-ekimae on the Toden Arakawa Line, or Machiya Station on the Tokyo Metro and Keisei Main Line. It stays open relatively late, until around 12 at night, so we visited as our second stop that day. Without a reservation, we suddenly wanted their cheese chijimi around 8 in the evening and walked in. Inside there are table seats and a raised tatami area with recessed-floor tables. The table seating is relatively spacious and comfortable. Since this was our second stop, we did not get too ambitious and had jo harami, jo rosu, rosu, and cheese chijimi. The salt sauce has a strong flavor that goes well with rice. The regular sauce, on the other hand, is surprisingly light and thin. The cheese chijimi is very substantial. It is topped with plenty of cheese too. The parts without cheese are crispy, which gives it a nice texture. The onion flavor comes through clearly and tastes good. They also had mildly spicy cheese chijimi, which caught my interest. There were many interesting-looking dishes besides yakiniku, such as udon and porridge, so I would like to try them if I come again.

The jo harami is superb. For the jo tan shio, you squeeze lemon over the green onions and put them on the meat after grilling!! The karubi was delicious too, but the harami was overwhelmingly better. The horumon is pretty good too!! The senmai sashimi felt a little watery somehow. The father's service is oddly addictive. I thought it might be a little expensive, but the portions were fairly substantial, so it was good. Good yakiniku makes you eat more rice. Payment is cash only; cards and PayPay cannot be used.
