YAKINIKU Japanese Restaurant
“It’s really about the sauce,” Nanbara says, when asked about what makes Yakiniku Jambo unique. Based on his grandmother’s secret recipe, he prepares three sauces to match the different meats. The soy-based sauce has a deep flavor from kombu and bonito dashi, while the salt sauce is lighter with a hint of sesame oil and pepper. Citrus sauce offers a refreshing alternative, made from bitter orange and kabosu limes. After deciding the course, we were first served with the meat platter and steak. You’ll only be allowed to order additional meat once both are eaten.
All of the meat procured at Nihonbashi Ningyocho's "Hiyama", a long-established store specializing in high-quality Japanese beef, was founded in 1912 and is carefully selected. We would like you to try the meat dishes that will impress the gourmets. It used to be a popular restaurant that was loved by the locals and served high-quality Japanese beef with a reliable connoisseur. You can enjoy meat with wonderful marbling at a reasonable price. Please note that the popular thick cut meat may be out of stock.
I’ve been obsessed about visiting this restaurant ever since I heard about the legend of the no name sushi bar in Tokyo offering sushi for just JPY 10 apiece. As you’d expect, sushi at kaitenzushi restaurants isn’t of the same quality as sushi from the best restaurants in Tokyo but they’re cheap, convenient, and fun. We just love the casual atmosphere and the fact that we can grab whatever plates of sushi we want, whenever we want. Kaitenzushi restaurants also give you the option of ordering a la carte from a tablet menu. Ren went with this beautiful lunch chirashi set for just JPY 1,080.
Even so, no one around you is going to see you cooking it and notice that it’s vegan meat, so if you’re worried about people laughing at you, don’t be. It just looks like you’re grilling meaty yakiniku like everyone else. Naturally, when ordering regular yakiniku, the meat always comes raw so that you can grill it to perfection, but the meat substitute yakiniku looked like meat that was cooked already. When it arrived, the server told us which was which, but within minutes we had totally forgotten. But we had remembered to ask the server to show us the packaging so we could look at the ingredients, and it looked like they’re both made of the same things, so it probably didn’t matter. Known for being one of the best ramen restaurants for Kumamoto ramen in Tokyo, Nantusttei Ramen specializes in fragrant black ma-yu ramen located in the popular Shinatatsu Ramen Street in Shinagawa.
You’ll be able to enjoy the tasteful, tender cuts while hot that’ll leave your mouth watering for more. Along with some soy sauce, mirin or sake on the side, yakiniku is a must-have treat in Japan. And what better place to enjoy this 恵比寿 ジンギスガン well-known cuisine than the capital of Japan itself, Tokyo. With a sprawling urban area mixed with a traditional Japanese flair, Tokyo is also home to many popular yakiniku restaurants that have captured the world’s attention.
The reputation of Kato Beef Ginza has spread far due to its signature dish, corned beef - a masterpiece that has garnered countless visits from media personnel. Truly a rare gem of a dish that requires time and effort, the Yamagata beef has to be sprinkled with salt, cooked for eight hours and broken up into small pieces while still hot. Yamagata beef boasts a taste that is savory and has a fresh fragrance.
Ueno 500 Bar is a one coin bar in Ameyoko Market that offers thin crust pizzas and tapas on their menu. All you have to do is order at least one drink and you can avail of as many JPY 500 pizzas as you want. They gave us the choice of either miso or soy sauce for the broth and we chose the former. Innards like intestines and tripe are allowed to simmer in a soup base seasoned with soy sauce, miso, garlic, and chili pepper. Other ingredients like cabbage, garlic chives, tofu, and champon noodles are added to the pot as well.
This new restaurant was opened in the chic area of Daikanyama by an owner who has experience working at "Kunimoto." This established restaurant has been called the peak of the yakiniku world. Chicken heart is part of the innards, but it has a plain flavor and a chewy texture. If you find a restaurant that interests you, make a reservation with Autoreserve, which allows you to make a reservation without making a phone call.
Building upon the procurement skills taught to him by his mentor, the day where Fuchioka's owner makes this restaurant one of Tokyo's iconic spots is probably closer than you think. This restaurant was newly opened in 2017 by a chef who trained at "Nakahara." The delicious sirloin, with its visible extremely fine grain, has an exquisite aroma and a deep umami flavor that explodes in your mouth.
You probably won’t have to worry about indigestion or feeling a heavy stomach like you would from eating lots of fatty meat, but it doesn’t carry the same satisfaction as meat does either. Nevertheless, there’s no doubt about the fact that this meat substitute was probably the best meat imitation that we have ever tasted. Flavor wise, it works as a good substitute for meat, and the satisfaction of cravings and the enjoyment of eating it got passing marks from us as well. It really seemed like we were cooking regular meat yakiniku, so we had to remind ourselves that it was meatless. The “meat” even got a nice char from the fire, so honestly, if we hadn’t known it was plant-based meat, at this point we would never have realized.
An abundance of house wines and bottled wines that go with their meat dishes are also available. Located around 5 minutes on foot from Omote-sando Station, this yakiniku restaurant is on B1F of Aoyama Oval Building. The time limit is 90 minutes for lunch and 100 minutes for dinner. For their all-you-can-eat courses, there’s an additional 500 JPY fee for male customers. At the beginning, they’ll serve a dish with 5 items, such as pork, chicken, beef, and sausages.
On the other, you have luxurious wagyu restaurants that require advance reservations. Despite the luxury nature of wagyu beef, there are still some Tokyo restaurants that serve inexpensive Kobe beef dishes. You’ll be greeted with a repurposed wood interior at Gyuan where you can order menu items like marbled sirloin steak or Kobe beef sukiyaki that won’t break the bank.
Like "Shimizu," this popular restaurant also only uses Japan's highest-quality wagyu beef. No other dish brings out the rich umami flavors of wagyu like this combination of rare-cooked wagyu beef and a fruity tare sauce. All of the menu items that use high-quality Miyazaki beef are attractive. The original "Yoroniku" is famous as a high-class yakiniku restaurant, but this "Namaiki" is talked about among yakiniku fans for its extremely high cost performance. The restaurant is spacious, with a total of 93 seats, but most of them are filled by reservation, making it a must-book restaurant depending on holidays and time of day.
Perfect for those who want to slow down on the fat intake and are looking for healthier options to enjoy beef, the lean block cuts are a must. Served hot off the grill, a bite into this rare piece of meat with some soy sauce is a taste that’s hard to forget. Specializing in lean meat and welcoming solo diners, Karubiano restaurant sits quietly amid the bustling shopping streets of Ikebukuro. Inside the calm interior, the cool-looking chef stands on the other side of the counter, carefully grilling meat right before your eyes.
