Yakiniku Ushijirushi

I visited this restaurant with a friend, and we ordered the middle course, which is their most recommended set. The meal started with delicious meat sushi, followed by high-quality yakiniku, and ended with a wonderful dessert — everything was satisfying from start to finish. One of the highlights of the course was the restaurant’s signature katsu sandwich. It was incredibly flavorful, with a thick and juicy cutlet that made the whole dish very impressive. Overall, the course was very fulfilling, and I was extremely satisfied with the entire dining experience.

We originally planned to visit a popular BBQ restaurant, but when we arrived, it was fully booked for all time slots. We ended up randomly walking into another BBQ place. The interior was beautifully decorated, and the seating was spacious. It turned out to be a Korean BBQ restaurant (though honestly, you wouldn’t know it was Korean unless they told you—lol). The wagyu beef was exceptional—tender, juicy, and each cut had its own unique character. It was incredibly, incredibly delicious, and surprisingly affordable. Seeing that it only has a 4.1 rating on Google is just unbelievable. Both my wife and I agreed it absolutely deserves a 5-star rating.

Ordered the ¥6,800 set dinner to try a wide variety of their offerings, paired with a bottle of red, which was unexpectedly good, given the price of just ¥3,300. Every serving was fantastic. Most of the cuts (slices, in this case) were perfect for me (I would grill them to a state of medium rare.) Two blew my mind, sending me to the deep abyss of bliss. The aroma and slight chewy texture of an internal organ (suspected to be part of a heart, didn’t want to ask) grilled till slightly charred, and the flavourful, melt-in-the-mouth Sukiyaki dipped in sauced egg yolk. This is a must visit if one is enjoys beef and is in Kyobashi, Tokyo. (Reservation has been set in week before departing from Tokyo… can’t wait to find out how the ¥8,800 set would top the ¥6,600 set.)
