I was interested in a yakiniku restaurant I saw in an open information! It is located in Taiichi Market in Koenji! Luckily, when I called on the same day, they had availability so I visited. Since there were two of us, we were seated at the counter. There are only two table seats, and the counter can accommodate about 8 people! Since there are not many seats, I recommend making a reservation!! This was my first time, so I went with the course recommended by the staff. [Order contents] Chef's course 4800 yen - Namul assortment - Kimchi assortment - Beef tataki yukke - Tongue salt - Upper tongue salt - Kalbi - Roast - Harami - Tongue suji - Red meat cut off - Shimacho - Rice medium (+200 yen) This content for 4800 yen is amazing,,,! The meat and seasoning were so delicious! Personally, I liked the kalbi and roast! The sauce is a complete rice thief. The roast was cooked for only 2 seconds on one side, quite rare!! It was delicious!! The spicy red meat Korean sauce was also delicious~~!! I want to go again! Thank you for the meal!

The station is close, the food is delicious! The customer service is good, and the cost performance is great. It's located in a narrow alley, so the only downside is that there is no toilet and the tables (counters) are small, but other than that, it was great. During the day you can go to Kujira, and at night you can come here, making this alley perfect!

Opened in April 2023 in the Daiichi Market in Koenji, Koenji Yakiniku Kokochi has been gaining popularity among yakiniku lovers. Located just a 1-minute walk from Koenji Station, it is nestled in a lively shopping street, offering a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere with Nepalese cuisine and curry shops. Inside, you will find a cozy space with two tables and an L-shaped counter with 8 seats, where you can watch the meat being cut and served right in front of you. The head chef, Kimura, is a young and refreshing 31-year-old who has 12 years of experience training at Yakiniku Sansui in Kokubunji. The other staff members are also young and friendly, creating a pleasant atmosphere for enjoying yakiniku. One of the highlights of Kokochi is the delicious sauce yakiniku that goes perfectly with rice. The seasoning and original sauce offer a classic downtown yakiniku flavor that will keep you coming back for more. From the meat menu to side dishes like shrimp sashimi, the quality is consistently high, and everything is delicious. It is recommended to order the omakase course for 4,800 yen and then choose your favorite items a la carte. The omakase course includes dishes like shrimp sashimi, beef tataki in yukke style, wagyu tongue, and egg soup. The namul assortment, kimchi assortment, senmai sashimi, and shrimp sashimi are all homemade and highly recommended. The tongue salt, regular tongue salt, and wagyu tongue are of surprising quality, while the kalbi and loin are also delicious. The hormone, lower tongue, and red meat with Korean sauce offer a different, rich flavor that is worth trying. After enjoying the omakase course and a la carte items, including a variety of meats and side dishes, you will feel satisfied with the perfect amount of food. If the wagyu harami is not available on the day, it's definitely worth trying next time! Omakase Course + A La Carte: - Namul assortment - Kimchi assortment - Senmai sashimi - Shrimp sashimi - Beef tataki in yukke style - Tongue salt, regular tongue salt - Wagyu tongue - Kalbi - Loin - Harami - Hormone, lower tongue, red meat with Korean sauce - Egg soup *Feel free to save this information for reference*

On September 9, 2023, the typhoon had passed and a slightly autumnal breeze was blowing. I went for some barbecue from lunchtime today at Yakiniku Kokochi, which opened this spring in a deep spot food and drink area in Koenji, just like DRIED SARDIN BROTHERS and CURRY SHOP Kujira. The owner is very handsome! The Negitan salt, Wagyu Harami, top loin, hormone platter, and shrimp sashimi at the barbecue restaurant were all amazingly delicious. The Negitan salt is topped with lots of leeks after grilling, and the leek sauce is so delicious that I even ordered a large bowl of rice just to put the leeks on top and eat them. The top loin is lightly seared and dipped in beaten raw egg before eating. It's a winner! The hormone also had a fresh texture that clearly showed its freshness, with an amazing chewiness. Koenji has so many delicious restaurants. It's delicious, too delicious! The wind whispered to me. If you're unsure where to go for barbecue in Koenji, this is a place worth considering. It's better to make a reservation or call ahead before going. #Koenji gourmet #Koenji barbecue #Yakiniku Kokochi #Daiichi Market #Want to connect with barbecue lovers #Kaitori Daikichi Koenji Station South Exit Store Visit Rating 3.54

I heard good things about this place before visiting for the first time. The kimchi platter, beef intestines sashimi, beef tataki yukke style, grilled beef tongue with salt, top quality liver, wagyu harami, beef tongue, top quality beef loin, kalbi (with pukkochu sauce), red meat cut off with coriander sauce, wagyu harami suji (with pukkochu sauce), hormone, cold noodles, rice x2. Everything was delicious! The kimchi was especially good. The overall seasoning was so tasty that I couldn't help but overeat. I particularly liked the new product, pukkochu sauce! It went perfectly with the kalbi and harami suji, with just the right amount of spiciness. Excellent seasoning! I wanted to eat it again the next day. And it's cheap! However, the place can get quite smoky, so it's best to bring minimal belongings and wear clothes that can be washed as it can get hot. I will definitely go back again. Thank you for the meal!

Located in a slightly hard-to-find spot at the back of the market, this shop offers recommended sets that are worth ordering. The first yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) was really delicious, with thickly cut tongue and a sauce that I loved. They also teach you how to cook it and how to apply the sauce, so even those who don't know how to cook can feel at ease. Overall, I thought the quality was high. It's no joke for Koenji to have this level of quality. I will definitely go again!

A hidden gem of a delicious yakiniku restaurant in Koenji! I was invited to Kokocho, a yakiniku restaurant in Koenji that is located in a very hard-to-find spot and has a small interior, but the food is incredibly delicious and I fell in love with the place! The omakase course is only 4,800 yen which is a steal. This time, we added some additional meats that caught our eye! The namul kimchi platter and the shrimp sashimi were already delicious! The shrimp is marinated in a sweet and spicy sauce and only the head is grilled, with the meat being tender and juicy. The beef tataki in yukhoe style was a favorite, especially when wrapped in Korean seaweed. The tongue with salt and the wagyu harami were so shiny and delicious, it was hard to believe they were served at this price point! The kalbi harami and wagyu harami were also excellent. The standout feature of Kokocho is their sauce! It's so delicious that I actually ordered rice for the first time in my life! The meat was of course delicious, but the richly flavored sauce really whets the appetite. The mino koriantan, which is a spicy Korean-style coriander sauce, was especially tasty. The only regret was that they ran out of rice! It would have been a perfect match. Located a 3-minute walk from Koenji Station North Exit, the total cost for one person was 8,000 yen. #KoenjiGourmet #ChuoLineGourmet #YakinikuLovers #Kokocho #Delicious #Meatstagram #Foodstagram #Koenji #Yakiniku #Gourmet #MeatLover

I visited this corner with an atmosphere I had never stepped into before, feeling nervous. I mentioned that I like lean meat and received recommendations. Yes, everything was delicious. Not only the meat, but also the kimchi, cold noodles, and soups. There were no smokers, but it is allowed, and the toilet was a bit disappointing.

Recommended by a friend, I visited this restaurant located in a corner of a alley-like building. First of all, the staff was refreshing and good-looking, haha. This time, I opted for the chef's choice course. It started with namul and kimchi. The garlic was strong, but it wasn't too spicy. I really liked the yam kimchi! The seared yukhoe-style dish was also delicious, of course. The main meat dishes started with tongue, followed by loin and ribs, with various types of meat coming out one or two pieces at a time. They taught us how to properly cook and eat it. The sauce was refreshing and not too heavy, you could keep eating it endlessly. But somehow, you feel satisfied yet mysteriously full. I added cold noodles at the end. When we said we would share it, they served it in two separate dishes. It's those little things that make you happy, right? I'm already curious about the other items on the menu... I have to go back again! The meat and sauce were delicious, and the cost performance is quite good! Since there aren't many seats, reservations are a must!

The reputation of this place is getting higher day by day. In the evening, there are often customers peeking in. Because... the food is delicious. You can enjoy it with alcohol, or have a hearty meal. The regular tan shio is incredibly delicious, and the sirloin and cut-off pieces are also delicious. It's the best, here.

Kokochi in Koenji. Located in an area that has been a hot topic, so I was curious and visited for the first time! The restaurant is located in a row of various eateries like Oioi Market, with a lively atmosphere. The restroom is not inside the restaurant, but there is a shared restroom for all the shops in Oioi Market (separate for men and women). The interior has counter and table seating. This time, I ordered the omakase course and supplemented with additional items a la carte. Menu: - Omakase Course ¥4800 • Namul • Kimchi platter • Ebi sashimi • Beef tataki Yukke style • Tan shio • Nami tan • Kalbi • Roast • Harami • Akami meat cut off the bone • Korean-style sauce • Upper mino • Hormone Additional: • Roast with Pukkochu sauce ¥1200 • Upper liver with sauce/salt ¥1200 • Mino sashimi ¥1200 • Meat rice ¥1200 • Cold noodles ¥1200 - Reservations accepted - Cash only - Smoking allowed in all seats Memo: The kimchi platter is rich in variety with ingredients like leeks and perilla leaves. It's quite spicy, so it feels like you could eat it with just rice! The ebi sashimi features plump shrimp marinated in a sweet and spicy sauce, very delicious. It's a luxury to have fresh shrimp at a yakiniku restaurant... I want to pile up about 10 shrimp on top of white rice and make a bowl out of it (laughs). The tan is chewy, the kalbi is sweet and melty with fat. The roast was excellent that day, cooked quickly and tasted meaty yet excellent with the sauce! The hormone winner was the mino, with a unique chewy texture that I enjoyed. The newly introduced Pukkochu sauce is homemade with green chili peppers, slightly spicy and tangy. It can be paired with any meat, but this time I tried it with roast! It seemed like it would go well with fatty meats or hormones too! Next time, I want to try it with hormone dishes! The liver was also sweet and delicious, and the mino sashimi had a great texture and tasty sauce. I ended up spending around 8900 yen because I ate and drank more than I thought, but I was very satisfied! The interior was quite hot, so I would like to revisit when it gets a little cooler! Thank you for the meal!

Hidden gem. The restaurant is located in a hard-to-find spot. It mainly has counter seats, with two tables for larger groups. We went as a group of six this time. We ordered the chef's special course and added on from there. The course was fantastic! It allowed us to enjoy a variety of cuts, and we left feeling very satisfied. The kimchi served at the beginning was especially delicious! The Napa cabbage, garlic chives, yam, and perilla leaves were all excellent. And the shrimp sashimi, a rare find at a yakiniku restaurant, was amazing. The firm texture of the flesh followed by grilling the head was a nice touch. Every cut of meat we had was great. The sauce had a perfect balance of flavors that went well with rice, and we couldn't stop eating. Before we knew it, everything was gone (laughs). We enjoyed a feast of meat with six people, finishing off with meat rice and cold noodles. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!!

Thank you for viewing. I visited the classic yakiniku restaurant "Koenji Yakiniku Kokochi," which opened on April 26, 2023. It is located inside "Daiichi Market," just a 2-minute walk from Koenji Station North Exit on the JR Chuo Line, providing a different setting from street-front or building-based establishments. The open-style restaurant features an L-shaped counter and table seating. Nearby, you can find the popular sushi restaurant "Sushi Haya Ya" and the tempura restaurant "Tensuke," among others. The handsome head chef, Kimura, trained for 12 years at "Yakiniku Sansui" in Kokubunji before opening this restaurant. He is a bright and refreshing young man, creating a pleasant atmosphere throughout the establishment. On this day, I tried the following dishes: "Namul Assortment," "Kalbi," "Roast," "Wagyu Harami, Sagari," "Tongue with Salt," and "Fresh Hormone Assortment." The marbling of the meat was good, with a nice amount of fat. The Harami and Sagari were particularly flavorful, and the tongue was delicious with the salt sauce. The assortment of four types of hormone was a must-try. According to the charming head chef, he has received various support from "Stamina En" and "Yakiniku Kousen." I definitely plan to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

The first time I experienced the feeling here was so shocking that the next day, whenever I got hungry, I found myself wanting to go back there. So I decided to go again. This time, I didn't go for the omakase, but chose a la carte. The dishes were so delicious that I got completely absorbed in eating and forgot to take photos. The tan shio and wagyu top loin looked like they were of the highest quality, the liver was so fresh it made me dislike grilled liver, and the red meat cut looked like it could only be from premium tuna. Seriously, the feeling here is amazing. Lately, it's been getting crowded here.

"Koenji Yakiniku Kokochi" I heard that a cost-effective and delicious yakiniku restaurant opened in Koenji, so I decided to visit. It seems that the owner's junior from Sokaizumi in Keisei Tateishi is running the place. This looks promising. I added the omakase course for 4800 yen, along with items like senmai sashimi, wagyu harami, pig's feet, and tegutan soup. Just like Sokaizumi, the tangy yakiniku sauce that goes well with rice is delicious, and I got so absorbed in eating it. I was surprised by the quality of the senmai sashimi. I tried it without any seasoning at first, and the crunchy texture, strong umami, and exquisite seasoning were impressive. This is delicious. I usually enjoy my sirloin on the rarer side, and it was tasty. The tongue and harami were also delicious enough. Eating all this for 7000-8000 yen per person, so cheap!!! The restaurant is small, so it seems like it will become increasingly difficult to make reservations in the future. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. #YakinikuKokochi #Kokochi #KoenjiYakinikuKokochi #DeliciousYakiniku #TokyoYakiniku #KoenjiGourmet #WantToConnectWithGourmetLovers #GourmetStagram #GuruMemo #WantToConnectWithGourmetLovers #FoodPornStagram #FoodPornographer #TabeLog #TabeLogram #FoodPornism #GourmetTravel #DeliciousIsHappiness #LookingForGourmetFriends #FoodieGirls #FoodieBoys #WantToConnectWithGourmets #KantoGourmet #FoodReportGram #GourmetWriter #FoodWriter #BGradeGourmetInformation #TokyoGourmet

Total for four people: 20,400 yen 5,100 yen per person

We made our third reservation here and visited with four people on a weekday at 7:30 pm. The counter seats were partially available, but it was usually around 80% full, so I think it's better to make a reservation! As always, the cool manager Kimura-kun and Junya were there! ♡ We went to Hashigone after eating at Kimura-kun's brother's restaurant, Sanpouen in Nogata! ♡ ***What we ordered*** - Assorted kimchi - Pickled kimchi - Gialla Pukkochu flavor ← New! - Roast Pukkochu flavor ← New! - Red meat cut off with Korean sauce - Large rice - Kalbi Pukkochu flavor ← New! - Freshwater eel sashimi - Tegutan udon - Negitan salt ← New! - Tare kalbi - Meat rice The new flavor Pukkochu has a slightly spicy salt sauce with green chili peppers. You can change any meat to Pukkochu flavor! The recommended meats for Pukkochu flavor are Kalbi, Roast, and Hormone Gialla! When it comes to roast, you can really feel the spiciness and acidity of the green chili peppers! It's delicious! I love it! When it comes to fatty cuts like Kalbi, the spiciness is toned down a bit, leaving a refreshing taste of acidity and flavor. The new menu item we tried that day was "Negitan salt", a perfect snack with drinks! It was so delicious! We will definitely come back! Thank you for the meal! ♡ ♡

Located about a 5-minute walk from Koenji Station, this restaurant is tucked away in a great alley-like spot! I was surprised to find that the shop was in this kind of setting!! Here are some of the menu items we ordered: - Assorted Namul Simple namul dishes that kickstart your appetite! - Assorted Kimchi Unusual leaf kimchi that was delicious! - Shrimp So tasty!! The spiciness was just right! - Top Sirloin Goes so well with the sauce! - Red Meat Cuts Couldn't stop eating.. so delicious!! - Hormone Mix Great value for money! - Salted Kalbi Unusual way of eating, but so good! - Sirloin Simple sirloin with a vinegar and green chili pepper sauce. I forgot the name of the sauce, but it was amazing!! - Harami Lean harami with a strong flavor! Couldn't stop eating.. - Cold Noodles Cold noodles with a spicy soup, refreshing and makes you want more meat! Eating to your heart's content for around 4,000 yen per person is a steal. Perfect for regular visits! This is a restaurant that will make you want to come back again and again! Thank you for the meal!!

Located in a narrow alleyway, this place has a unique atmosphere not found in most recent yakiniku restaurants. It was my first visit, so I decided to go with a variety of dishes. We ordered kimchi assortment, namul assortment, shrimp sashimi, top sirloin with egg, red meat cut-off, hormone assortment, salted short rib, sirloin with Pukkochu flavor, and harami. The red meat cut-off is a must-order with great value for money! Both the salt and sauce seasoning were excellent. It was a shame they didn't have wagyu harami, so I definitely want to try it next time! The Pukkochu flavor might appeal to those who like spicy food. The atmosphere in the alleyway is nice, but it can get a bit hot during this season. I'd like to revisit in spring or autumn!

My wife saw it on Instagram and said it looked delicious, so we decided to challenge it as a couple! As others have mentioned, both of the staff members are very handsome, which can be a bit intimidating even for men, but they are incredibly kind and attentive. When my wife and I went to eat, they mainly focus on grilling, so there are hardly any photos. They brought us harami and loin, and each time they explained clearly and politely how to grill and eat them, and we enjoyed them deliciously. I thought that if you grill good meat, it will taste good, but the marinade they use enhances the flavor of the meat and allows you to enjoy the depth of the taste! I usually eat harami a lot, but the loin was surprisingly delicious. It's close to home, so we'll definitely go back!
