Compared to high-quality and delicious meat, it is a regrettable restaurant because there is no service or laughter from the staff. Beef and food in various parts make customers laugh. The staff's service service is much disappointing compared to the quality of the food. There are many customers, so the overall atmosphere of the meat restaurant is also good. Perhaps because the employees are having a hard time, these areas need to be improved. The price range is as high as the quality of the meat. More than 10,000 yen per person is a basic restaurant.
View on GoogleI ordered a course, and the value for money is truly the best! The big harami was juicy and very satisfying, and the thick tongue was tender and superb. The meat sushi is a luxurious bite that melts in your mouth. The kalbi's fat was pleasantly sweet and paired perfectly with the sauce. Plus, it came with all-you-can-drink, so I could enjoy plenty of drinks—totally satisfied! The interior has a calm atmosphere, perfect for meals with friends or work drinking parties. Above all the meat is delicious, and you get satisfaction beyond the price. A place I definitely want to come back to!
View on GoogleThe place is clean with a nice atmosphere, and it's comfortable, so it must be perfect for dates. As you'd expect from a high-end place, the meat is as good as the price! Especially the marbled yukhoe. I hadn't had it in ages, but it really is delicious〜. Tasting the richness of the fat along with the clean aftertaste of raw meat and the melting texture is irresistible. Also, surprisingly reasonable was 友星's bara-yaki. The staff grill it just right, and you eat it dipped in raw egg like sukiyaki—man〜, it's a guaranteed delicious dish that'll have you eating bowl after bowl of rice! 900 yen per serving for this is a steal. I also had the misuji with salt and wasabi, marucho, negi tan shio, yukgaejang soup, kkakdugi, and more, and not a single miss! Everything is delicious! When you have some money, or for a meal with someone special, please give it a try. For two people, 6 drinks and 7 dishes came to 14,860 yen.
View on Google◯What kind of place? Recommended occasions・・・dates, with friends, with family yui's must-try dish・・・premium yukhoe Atmosphere・・・upscale, calm Portion size・・・adjustable ◯What I had ・Kimchi assortment ・Tongue comparison ・Premium yukhoe ・Harami ・Loin ・Premium mino ・Beef curry on a level beyond a yakiniku restaurant A place that genuinely surprised me—I can't believe there's a yakiniku restaurant like this in Akabane! It's apparently run by a craftsman from that famous restaurant, with reasonable prices that would be impossible in central Tokyo. It's also apparently the only place in the area licensed to serve raw meat, so they put real effort into their raw meat dishes. Honestly, the meat wasn't as good as I'd hoped. The harami had noticeable sinew, and I thought the tongue might be divisive too. The yukhoe, being one of their selling points, was delicious! There are lots of booth seats, so I thought it's a perfect place to take your time enjoying a meal and conversation!
View on GoogleWeekday night during a long holiday, reservation for 4, nearly full I was surprised there's such a beautiful place in Akabane! Upscale interior, with fairly wide spacing between seats Looks handy for dates and business entertaining! There's an incredibly high-quality yet reasonable place in Akabane! Chef 友星 trained at that famous ”よろにく”, and on top of that the restaurant is supervised by Vanne It's the first licensed raw-meat restaurant in the area, so you can enjoy raw meat with peace of mind. They use 雪降り wagyu from Yamagata, and the light, slightly sweet massaged-in marinade is very delicious! The dipping sauce with a fruity touch is good too. <赤羽友星 Course> 7,000 yen You can add all-you-can-drink for about +2500 ◯Kimchi, namul The namul mixed with spicy miso was like the topping on bibimbap, really delicious! I got rice from the start and ate them together (lol) ◯Tongue comparison Tongue base, middle, and tip Elegantly seasoned with massaged-in salt! Moist-looking, very good tongue ◯Heart, cheek Both are offal cuts I love Thickly cut heart, grilled quickly, eaten on the rare side. The light flavor with its bouncy-crisp texture is irresistible. ◯Salad A light salad fragrant with sesame oil ◯Yukhoe Seasoned with a kick of pepper, lots of lean meat, the thin-strip style of yukhoe ◯Loin, harami The loin is the chuck roll cut! Large and very hearty. It struck me again how strong the umami of the snow-marbled beef is! I made meat sushi with rice〜 The harami was juicy and delicious too, but personally I like it cut a bit thicker〜 ◯Egg soup A silky soup like chawanmushi It was soooo good〜 ◯Misuji, kalbi What impressive meat〜 The sauce is really delicious! ◯Bara-yaki The staff grill it for you! I recommend getting rice in advance and eating them together ◯Cold noodles Ultra-thin cold noodles +Extra: curry A European-style beef curry you wouldn't expect from a yakiniku place There was a review saying it seems like it's from a retort pouch, but it's a top-notch curry with beef umami simmered out over 5 hours, with big chunks of meat in it too, so good I'd want to come just for it at lunch or on a whim at night! ◯Ice cream A light salted milk ice cream It cleanses the palate〜
