Ours is Japanese barbecue featuring DIY grilling with a rustic touch. The meat is fresh, and there’s a variety of veggies, too. Those used to Korean-style barbecue will miss the fixings which automatically grace the grilling table. If you want kimchi or soup on the side, you’ll have to order it separately. Set A (¥118) has solid cuts of rib, offal and tenderloin beef, but how the food turns out depends on your cooking skill—part of the fun, really. We only wish the grills were pre-greased, as some of our cuts kept sticking. Try out the delightfully named “prison food” (¥15) for a cheap and quirky rice-based side. Service is generally friendly, though rather hover-y for a DIY affair. Round out your meal with a draft Asahi (¥20) or Japanese-style cocktail.
Our rating: 3/5 stars
