Had a yakiniku lunch at Ribarein! I tried the Ishihara beef, which is only available here at this newly opened restaurant! It was around 12:30 and the place was packed, so it's recommended to go a little later. You can go alone, and I was envious to see some customers having yakiniku and drinks in the afternoon! The seating is like a semi-private room, almost like a private room, so you can enjoy yakiniku by yourself without worrying about others around you! You can order using a touch panel, so there is minimal interaction with the staff, which is perfect for the current situation! This time, I ordered the Ishihara beef tasting lunch! The food was served quickly, in about 10 minutes after I sat down! The meat varies in texture and sweetness of fat depending on the cut, but all of them are easy to eat without being too heavy! The portion size is good, and usually with this much fat marbling, my stomach would feel heavy, but not this time, I could finish it all quickly! Personally, the rib roast was exceptional! It was so good that I felt like I could keep drinking! The salad and small side dishes also help refresh the palate so you can enjoy the meat again, which is a plus. The seating, speed of service, quality of meat, everything was perfect and highly recommended! I plan to come back for dinner too! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

I heard that this yakiniku restaurant on the 1st floor of Rivarein serves rare Ishihara beef, so I visited for the first time. There were many autographs from Kikuzo Yoshida! I was led to a private room. It seemed like all the rooms were private. I ordered the Flavorful Lunch for 2,200 yen from the menu, along with a draft beer. I love beef tripe, so I ordered that too. The beer was 660 yen for a glass, and the bottled beer was a small bottle. Beer is expensive!! The lunch had a good amount of meat, so I started grilling the rib roast and sirloin. The fat dripped down, and the marbling of the meat quickly turned pink. I ate it with a mix of salt and sauce, and ponzu sauce with green onions and wasabi. It was really delicious! I quickly finished eating and was full. The expensive beer is the only downside.

I made a reservation on the same day and they kindly accepted it. This restaurant offers only Kagoshima prefecture Wagyu beef, and the portion was just right to feel comfortably full. Eating high-quality meat like this is completely different from all-you-can-eat. Truly good meat can satisfy you with a small amount. I recommend this restaurant for entertaining clients as well! ✨

We used good quality meat. For lunch, they had bibimbap, curry, and other dishes for around 990 yen, still in the 1,000 yen range. The photo shows a single item. Good quality meat like this makes you feel full without needing all-you-can-eat options.

My husband and I enjoyed the highest grade A5 ranked "Ishihara Beef" together. The stylish yakiniku restaurant sparkles with Swarovski crystals, and offers private rooms and thorough infection prevention measures. This rare black Wagyu beef, Ishihara Beef, contains 3.3 times more Omega-3, which is effective for lifestyle diseases, and can only be tasted here at the ranch-operated restaurant. There are two types of sauces, as well as high-quality rock salt and pepper to enhance the flavor of the meat. Since it is a ranch-operated store, it offers great value and is a very friendly place. Surprisingly, Kikuzo Yoshida also visited the restaurant. Fresh vegetables are also plentiful! The grape water is also nice. Both my husband, who likes large portions, and me, who is health-conscious, want to come back to this restaurant. We will definitely visit again!

The first time I went to this restaurant, "Yakiniku Dokoro Ishihara Beef," I decided to post a review after two visits. I was in the mood for yakiniku and had always been curious about this place. It is located along the Hakata River in Hakata Riverain. I arrived at 11:35 and was seated at a 4-person table near the entrance. I had originally planned to order either the yakiniku lunch set or the hormone stew set that uses a roaster embedded in the table. However, I saw a poster for a limited-time collaboration with the Ghibli exhibition, the "Ishihara Beef Laputa Sky Bowl (1,320 yen)." It seemed like a yakiniku bowl inspired by "Castle in the Sky." I ordered it using the touch panel, but later realized it was not a yakiniku bowl but a taco rice-style bowl. I felt regret for not checking the contents properly before ordering. Despite my mistake, I decided to wait for the dish. The waiting time was about 10 minutes, and when the dish arrived, it had a broccoli cluster in the center, resembling the Great Deku Tree. I mixed it as instructed and found the meat to be tender and delicious, although the mayonnaise was a bit overpowering. The overall taste was a bit flat. Four days later, I visited the restaurant again and ordered the "Ishihara Beef Staff Meal Lunch Small (1,320 yen, tax included)." The meat served was marbled beautifully, and it came with two types of sauce - soy sauce and red miso sauce with plenty of green onions. It was delicious, and I enjoyed the experience of eating yakiniku at my own pace. I plan to visit again to try the hormone stew next time.

Located on the first floor of the RIVERAIN MALL in Nakasu, "Yakiniku Ishihara Ushi" is a unique restaurant with a name that showcases their pride in Ishihara beef. We ordered the special course (8800 yen) this time, which can also be reserved online through Tabelog. The restaurant offers private or semi-private rooms, perfect for enjoying a meal without worrying about others. The special course includes a Chateaubriand, allowing you to enjoy various cuts of meat in small portions without getting bored. Just be careful not to fight over the food! Personally, I enjoyed the misuji and tongue the most. You can also order additional items, so it might be fun to mix and match with the course. With its convenient location and private rooms, I think this restaurant is easy to use and enjoy.

I was browsing through a local town information magazine at a bookstore and came across information about this shop. Apparently, they are holding a special event (raffle) for their 1st anniversary throughout March. Since I had also bookmarked this place, I decided to visit. The shop is located in the corner of River Lane. It was a little after 1 pm on a weekday. The interior of the shop consists of only table seats, separated by screen-like walls, so I couldn't tell if it was full or not. It seemed busy, so I assumed it was full. There was one group of customers waiting ahead of me. After about 10 minutes, they were seated. Then, after another 5 minutes, it was my turn. I was seated at a table for 4 people even though I was alone. In the center, there was a smokeless roaster. On the table, there were condiments, plates, and an iPad. A staff member brought a glass of water and a pot to the table, and the order was explained through the iPad. I was planning to order the most affordable item, but as I looked at the photos on the iPad, there were various parts of meat to choose from. So, I ended up ordering the Ishihara beef tasting lunch set (1980 yen). It came with two small side dishes, simmered daikon radish in soy sauce, and tofu with a smooth texture. There was also a side salad, rice, seaweed soup, and two types of sauces on the table. You could add as much green onions as you wanted. The main meat dishes were presented in a tiered manner: Ishihara beef sirloin, Ishihara beef short ribs, Ishihara beef lean meat, today's Ishihara beef platter, and homemade sausage from Budo no Ki. There were also hidden grilled vegetables throughout. The short ribs had a lot of marbling, which was either good or bad depending on your preference. The water served was refreshing tea, so I drank it quickly. The meal was filling and satisfying. At the time of payment, there was a PC next to the cashier where I started and stopped to draw a raffle ticket. I won a 5th prize of a 2500 yen voucher (with specified usage conditions) for evening use only. I wished the 6th prize was a drink voucher instead!

I heard good things about it and visited to try the Ishihara beef flavor lunch for 1980 yen. The cuts that came out were rump, misuji, ude, and momo, and the momo and misuji were particularly delicious. The lunch also comes with all-you-can-eat salad, oden, and sesame tofu. The free grape-scented grape tea was quite delicious. The price for the satisfaction was quite high, but if you go, the lunch is great!

This is a relatively new yakiniku restaurant that I had been curious about for a while. I tried the recommended ranch lunch for 1,100 yen and the King's beef tongue lunch for 1,430 yen. Both come with vegetables, sauce, rice, soup, and a side dish. The sauces offered are soy-based and miso-based, with toppings like green onions available. While the recommended lunch had good quality meat, there was also a lot of fatty meat. The beef tongue looked nice but was too thin for my liking. It was tasty, but perhaps the hype around it being rare black wagyu raised expectations too high. Overall, I think the lunch was good value for money.

I made a lunch reservation at a yakiniku restaurant that opened in Ribarein. It was fully booked even on weekdays. When we were seated, we were served grape tea first, which tasted really delicious. I ordered the Ranch Lunch for 1,100 yen. You can also add coffee and dessert to the set. It comes with salad, rice, and wakame soup. The Ishihara beef slices were thin and small, with different shapes like chunks. The taste was delicious. There were two types of sauce, soy sauce and miso, and having wasabi was great.

When I went to Ribarein, I saw flowers decorating the place and thought it might be a new shop, so I decided to try it out. It was featured on a local TV show after I visited, so I was glad I went before it got crowded. It seems that the shop that used to be in the same location called "Budou no Ki" has changed its name and meat quality. Upon entering, they check your temperature, provide hand sanitizer, and guide you to a table with dividers, which made me feel safe. The lunch menu includes "Ishihara beef, which has mainly been exported to overseas markets such as the EU and was not easily available in Japan before." You order using a touch panel, and there are two types of sauces, yuzu pepper, garlic, and chopped green onions on the table. They also serve "budou water" instead of regular water. Since I was dining alone, I opted for the most affordable option, the Ranch Lunch (1100 yen including tax). I was surprised by the amount of meat you get for this price. It's a mix of cuts like thigh and arm totaling 150g. The fattier parts at the bottom are a bit tough, but the rest is tender. It looked slightly different from the meat I saw on TV later. I cooked it like this, and the meat looked like a pattern under the light. They suggested eating the salad with the meat, and the veggies were fresh. The side dish was simmered daikon, but kimchi might be better with the grilled meat. The rice was tasty, and the wakame soup was a nice touch. Getting this much food and meat for 1100 yen is a great deal. I might get addicted to solo yakiniku.笑

This is a yakiniku restaurant operated by Ishihara Farm, located on the first floor of Hakata Riverain. Here, you can enjoy high-quality brand beef "Ishihara beef" with fine marbling. I visited for lunch as it had just opened near my company. The seating I was guided to had partitions on the tables, giving a private room feel. I ordered the most affordable lunch menu, "Ranch Lunch" for 1,100 yen. Ordering and payment were done using a tablet. When I placed my order, the staff first brought grape tea for water replacement. The meal started with a vegetable salad. The meat served was A5 rank beef with excellent marbling. The soup served with rice was a vegetable soup. The meat was grilled using the smokeless roaster in the center. The grilled meat, which melted in the mouth with a sweet and juicy taste, was enjoyed with the salad and rice. The restaurant is located on the first floor of Hakata Riverain.

The former grape garden site has been transformed into a new yakiniku restaurant. The grape tea was nostalgic. The delicious premium cuts of meat were cost-effective. The vegetable sauce was tasty, and seemed like you could have unlimited refills. The downside was that the yakiniku sauce was like soy sauce. - Written by Low-income individual

The lunch was great value for money. I will definitely go back again!

It's been a while, but the semi-private room had a cozy atmosphere and the meat was delicious.

This is a nice restaurant with friendly staff. The meat and dipping sauce are excellent!

The meat was tender and very delicious. It was nice to have a private room so we could relax.

I had the Ishihara beef lunch for 1980 yen. It was delicious with plenty of rare cuts of meat that melted in your mouth. The whole family was very satisfied and full. The cost performance was good, and I definitely want to come back to this restaurant.
