The steak was thinly sliced and easy to eat. The best was the sirloin. The female staff in the restaurant were attentive, clearing empty plates quickly and offering drink refills without being pushy. The atmosphere was calm as there were no rowdy drunk salarymen, just families including grandmas. Overall, a perfect score. Worth the price.

I visited Gyukaku Tokiwadai for the first time. I enjoyed the finest quality meat. The raw tongue with salt was amazing, and the assorted Japanese beef was delicious. It was so good that I couldn't help but smile. I will definitely visit again. But I also want to try the main branch. #Yakiniku #Gyukaku Tokiwadai #FinestMeat #Enjoyed #TongueSalt #JapaneseBeef #CozyAtmosphere #Delicious #WantToGoAgain #Monzen-Nakacho #Monzen-NakachoGourmet #Everyday #EverydayScenery #EverydayRecord #SmartphonePhotography #SnapPhotography #ConnectWithPeopleWhoLikeTakingPhotos #ConnectWithPeopleWhoLikeSeeingPhotos #Monzen-Nakacho

I visited the famous yakiniku restaurant "Gyuwa Shika" at the Tomioka branch in Monzen-Nakacho ☺︎ When I went to the Tomioka branch about 2 years ago, I thought the taste was different from the main branch, so I didn't go there often. However, when I visited after a long time, I was surprised that the quality had improved tremendously ❤︎ ・Negi-tan salt ・Ichibo loin ・Korean seaweed ・Sudachi cold noodles The Sudachi cold noodles, available only in the summer, are my favorite. The noodles have a good texture and the broth is refreshingly delicious ♡ I usually only went to the main branch, but the Tomioka branch was also very delicious, so I will definitely go again~~~ ☺︎ Thank you for the meal!!

On a regular night, three of us went to a yakiniku restaurant in Monzen-Nakacho called "Gyu Wakka Tomioka-ten" in search of delicious yakiniku. The main store is known as one of the top 100 yakiniku restaurants, but we couldn't get a reservation, so we visited the Tomioka branch. The restaurant is located on the second floor of a narrow alley just 2-3 minutes from the station. There are only 7 table seats in the cozy interior, and when we arrived at 18:15, there was only one group of customers, but by before 19:00, it was almost full! It's quite popular. We were seated at a table with a gas roaster in the back. First, we ordered bottled beer! It was interesting that Asahi and Kirin were priced 50 yen apart. Today, we went for the 50 yen cheaper Asahi (700 yen for a medium bottle) for a toast! Now, onto the meat! We wanted to focus on the meat today. The side dishes were kept to a minimum, and looking at the menu, the prices were quite high. The red meat dishes ranged from 980 to 2480 yen per item, but the cuts were all high-quality. The horumon (offal) was also priced at 880 yen. There were a variety of grilled items available, such as pork, chicken, seafood, vegetables, as well as a wide selection of side dishes, salads, kimchi, soups, noodles, and rice dishes. We started with salt seasoning and planned to switch to sauce later. We ordered the "Selection of 4 Premium Cuts" for 5480 yen. The marbling was beautiful and the portion was quite generous! It seemed like it would be enough for three people. The fat was sweet and melted smoothly. The Zabuton (Chuck Flap): Amazing! The fat was sweet and melted smoothly. The Hichu (Top Blade): It's a cut from the top of the thigh with a beautiful marbling. The texture was meaty with moderate fat, making it easy to eat. It had a good balance of lean and fatty meat, and I liked it. The Sagari (Skirt): It's the part of the diaphragm near the lumbar spine. It had a meaty texture and the fat was moderate, making it light and easy to eat. The Lamp: It's a cut from the rump to the thigh. The umami of the lean meat was intense. I liked this one too! I was starting to feel overwhelmed by the fat, so we ordered the "Niku Jyubon" (Meat Juicy Bonbon) for a palate cleanser. It was cut into 2 cm cubes with a moderate marbling, lightly grilled, and served with grated daikon and ponzu sauce or salt and was juicy when bitten into. It was amazing. We continued with the meat! We ordered the "Tsukekomi Kalbi" (Dipping Kalbi) for 1280 yen, which was great value for money! The marbling was beautiful! The slightly thick slices were amazing for the price. It was coated in sauce and quickly seared before eating. This one goes well with rice! We also ordered the "Kiriochi" (Cut-off) for 980 yen because we still wanted to eat rice. It was the cheapest meat on the menu, but it was amazing with beautiful marbling. Delicious! Oh no, this is so good! The fact that this was under 1000 yen is amazing. I was the only one drinking alcohol, but the total bill for the three of us was 15000 yen, and we even got change back. Amazing value for money! This was fantastic, and I would like to visit the main store next time! Thank you for the meal!

I had a rare treat of yakiniku. I ordered the course menu for around 6000 yen, and I was satisfied with the variety of cuts that were served. The restaurant is located on the second floor in the core area, just two streets in from Eitai Street in Monzen-Nakacho. The atmosphere of the restaurant is casual, but the meat gradually becomes more premium and melts in your mouth. I'm not very knowledgeable about cuts, but dishes like "sagari" made me feel happy. The drinks were also decent and complemented the yakiniku well. I think it's a restaurant where you'll be glad you chose to dine. Thank you for the meal.

It is recommended to choose good meat, mainly lean meat such as Omi beef, for a satisfying meal at a yakiniku restaurant. This restaurant in Monzen-Nakacho is one of the best places to enjoy yakiniku slowly at the table. Although it may be a bit over budget for lunch, I am completely satisfied! Monnaka is a delicious yakiniku restaurant!

Members who usually drink in Kinshicho had their first drinking session in Monzen-Nakacho. The restaurant was a yakiniku place that serves Omi beef. Walking a bit further away from the unique streets of Monzen-Nakacho, we found the restaurant on the second floor, despite the confusing presence of a horumon shop on the first floor. We had reserved a course with all-you-can-drink, so we started without really looking at the menu. We had the Beef and Deer Salad, a Kimchi assortment, and started with the Tan (tongue) salt. Unfortunately, we forgot to take a picture of the Wagyu tendon stew. For a la carte, we ordered the Ashikaga old white chicken wings, pork belly, and pork kalbi. The Wagyu yakiniku assortment included Shinshin, Kamenoko, Hiuchi, and two types of lean meat, which was fantastic. If they had garlic or chili, it would have been perfect. To finish off, we chose the horumon assortment with kuppac. It had a casual atmosphere and was a local yakiniku place where you could easily stop by at a reasonable price. As a professional food and drink enthusiast, I had always wanted to conquer Monzen-Nakacho someday, so I started with a casual greeting to this town. Since it was a time-limited all-you-can-drink, I ended up just drinking beer and highballs.

My 3-year-old daughter wanted to eat yakiniku, so we visited this restaurant for the first time today. We called the main store of Gyukaku but they were closing early, so we came to the Tomioka store instead. We ordered the harami yukke, nama-tan shio, and upper harami, and while the tongue was ordinary, the harami had a rich flavor and plenty of umami. My wife doesn't like meat with a lot of marbling, so we got the Gyukaku Mori (regular kalbi and harami) which was also of good quality. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Solo lunch at Yakiniku Ichinin. First visit to the Tomioka's Gyuwajika. The menu is slightly different from the main store. I chose the B lunch from the affordable lunch menu. A allows you to choose from cold noodles, stone bibimbap, Jajangmyeon, or Yukgaejang k

It had been a while since I visited this restaurant. The main branch was fully booked for the day, so I made a reservation at the Tomioka branch, but it was also almost full. I wondered why there is a difference in the tenderness of the meat even though it's the same beef, while enjoying the meal. There were various rare cuts available, but the harami (skirt steak) was particularly delicious.

It seems that there are three popular restaurants in the Niu and Lu area. I visited the Tomioka store for the first time, with only one other customer present as it was close to closing time. I had the service lunch with cold noodles, which was quite cost-effective. The salad, simmered dish, Kakuteki, and Namul were served first, and even though the portions were small, it was nice to have a variety of side dishes. The simmered dish was a bit salty but the meat was tender. The grilled meat with loin, hormones, and liver, followed by the cold noodles, were also delicious. The cold noodles were simple but tasty. Even if it's a bit pricey at 1,200 yen, the quality and variety of the meal make it worth it. I haven't been able to visit the main store due to its popularity, but I really want to try it next time.

The restaurant is located on the second floor, up the stairs on the left entrance. I arrived at 1:05 PM and sat at a table. I ordered the Yakiniku set meal with beef loin for 1600 yen and changed the rice to cold noodles for an additional 200 yen. The lunch set meal comes with appetizers, soup, salad, and side dishes. The appetizers included kimchi and bean sprout namul, and the side dish was simmered beef. It was quite delicious. The yakiniku came with 6 slices of thinly sliced beef loin, hormone, and liver on a plate. It was fun to grill and eat. The meat was tender and tasty. The cold noodles were also quite good. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch for 1600 yen if you consider the rice as well.

First visit! I went with 5 classmates from university! The impact of the three kinds of sashimi was amazing...!! The tuna, ribeye, and beef tongue all had delicious fat! Delicious! They go really well with ponzu and wasabi! The white rice was also... The yukkejang soup and sudachi cold noodles we ordered for the finish were also delicious! And the fresh kimchi was so tasty that we ordered seconds. It was the perfect palate cleanser♪ It was a bit pricey at 7,000 yen per person, but it's good to indulge once in a while. We also drank makgeolli and had a luxurious time⭐︎

I used this restaurant for dinner. This place is known for its abundance of lean meat, with harami (skirt steak) and loin being recommended. Of course, I ordered harami, loin, and chuck flap. In conclusion, the marinade is light, allowing you to enjoy the flavor of the meat itself. The restaurant even recommends wasabi soy sauce over sauce, showing their commitment to providing high-quality meat. The side menu is limited, but this is a recommended place for meat lovers.

This time, I ordered the top 5 assorted sashimi, and before I could even order, they mentioned that today the sashimi is really good and there are a lot of cuts. It was true, there were so many cuts that it was almost overwhelming, and the white one in the top right corner is apparently Tomosankaku, but I couldn't believe how many cuts there were! It was a bit fatty, but the fat was delicious!! The rice went down so smoothly! The only disappointing thing this time was the raw tongue. Apparently, they serve it unfrozen, but this time it seemed a bit old and the quality wasn't good. It was nowhere near the quality of the main store. The raw harami yukke I tried for the first time was delicious raw! Looking forward to the next time!!

The 5-item assortment for 5980 yen is the best value, with 3 rare cuts included and about 100g of Sirloin steak. The taste is excellent as well! If you want to try tongue, I recommend the raw tongue for 1980 yen. It has less salt, so I recommend adding some more. It seems like this place, Mon'naka, also has another steakhouse branch!

I visited this restaurant to increase stamina as my companion was departing for the Fuji Five Lakes Marathon. The main branch in Monzen-Nakacho is ranked number one for yakiniku, selected as one of the top 100 yakiniku restaurants on Tabelog, and has several steakhouse locations. They offer A5 grade Omi beef, including rare cuts from whole cows, and I had been wanting to visit for a while but never had the chance to make a reservation. However, I recently found out that a branch had opened, so I decided to go for lunch. The restaurant is on the second floor up a staircase, with a simple yet calming atmosphere featuring cream-colored walls, white tables, and chocolate-colored sofas. The set meals come with appetizers, soup, salad, and small side dishes. I splurged on the premium yakiniku set for 3,200 yen, while my companion ordered the mixed yakiniku set for 1,600 yen. We both upgraded our rice to cold noodles or stone bibimbap for an additional 200 yen. Soon after, we were served with a salad, kimchi, and small side dishes. The small dishes were particularly delicious, with a spicy seasoning that enhanced the flavors. Then came the meat platter, beautifully arranged with cuts like raw tongue, premium loin, premium kalbi, harami, and lean meat. My companion's mixed yakiniku set looked nice too, but the marbling and color of the premium yakiniku set were noticeably different. We started grilling the meat on the roaster. The raw tongue, a specialty of the restaurant, was tender and had a chewy texture with a sweet taste. The kalbi, loin, and harami melted in the mouth, releasing the unique flavors and richness of each cut, while the fat was not overpowering. We enjoyed experimenting with different dipping sauces like grated ponzu, wasabi, and soy sauce. The cold noodles were pleasantly chewy, and the broth had a refreshing sweet and sour flavor that balanced well with the rich yakiniku. The stone bibimbap was also delicious. Although the lunch was a bit pricey, it was more affordable compared to dinner and left us feeling satisfied with the premium yakiniku experience. Thank you for the meal.

A famous restaurant in Monzen-Nakacho, the sister store of Gyuwaka, has opened in the location of a curry restaurant! It seems that it is not yet well known, perhaps because it is located on a back street, making it quite a hidden gem. Being able to enjoy this quality of meat at this price for lunch is impressive.

I made a reservation for a course. We were served delicious meat. I couldn't take photos because it was a business dinner. As expected, when it comes to yakiniku in Monzen-Nakacho, this restaurant, Gyu Wakka, is the best. We ordered cold noodles as the finale. It was delicious!

The platter of beef and deer was delicious, but the top harami was especially tasty! Next time, I want to order mainly harami. The harami yukhoe was also delicious. The raw kimchi doesn't have to be half, it's good even in smaller portions.
