Fukuoka Prefecture is under a state of emergency. I aimed to visit an Italian restaurant that was open for limited hours from 12 o'clock, but it was closed. So, I changed my plan and visited "Yakiniku Teiho" nearby. I saw a signboard in front of the restaurant that said, "Extra portion of Kalbi set meal available!" (laughs) I arrived at 12:10. Inside the restaurant, there were a few tables for 4 people in the front and counter seats in the back. Even though I was dining alone, the staff kindly said, "You can also use the table," so I sat at a table. I ordered the "Kalbi set meal (990 yen, tax included)." It came with rice, soup, and salad. First, they served the soup and salad. The timing of the soup was a bit early, but I found a small note under the menu saying, "Free refills for rice and soup." I enjoyed the simple yet delicious seaweed and green onion soup. I decided to get a refill! (laughs) The smokeless roaster on the table was lit, and soon the meat, grilled vegetables (onion, eggplant, bell pepper), and rice were brought to me. The meat had a lot of fat compared to the menu photo. When I put the meat on the grill, the fat caught fire immediately! It was like I was grilling offal! The flames rose quickly, and the meat was cooked in no time. I enjoyed it with a light soy sauce-based sauce, salt, and miso sauce. The miso sauce went well with the meat, but with so much fat, the salt was the best match. High-quality fat is delicious, but there was just too much fat for me. The combination of rice and meat is great, but how about rice and fat? In the end, I didn't get a rice refill. The meaning of "omakase" (chef's choice) is deep. Thank you for the meal. P.S. After finishing my meal, I passed by the Italian restaurant again, and this time it was open. Well, that's how it goes. (laughs)
