Visited in January 2022. My family has a regular craving for sushi, yakiniku, and shabu-shabu. This time, they had been craving yakiniku for about 3 days, so we decided to have yakiniku for dinner on the last day of the long weekend. We visited a yakiniku chain restaurant called "Aburiya Esaka" which is operated by the same company as my favorite One Karubi, so I have absolute trust in the quality of their products and services. All the menu items are all-you-can-eat, with prices varying by age, which is an interesting system. We chose a course that included all-you-can-eat beef tongue, and orders are placed using a touchscreen panel at the table. Our order included: beef salted tongue, bone-in kalbi, Aburiya kalbi, wasabi salted domestic beef kalbi, horumon, yakiniku (kalbi, loin), sagari steak, loin, harami, bean sprout namul, whole tomato with melty cheese margherita style, Korean cold noodles, rice (for family), creme brulee, cheese parfait, draft beer, whiskey highball, and more. I ordered the beef tongue twice since it was included in the course, and also ordered the yakiniku, which I always enjoy. The yakiniku, especially when dipped in raw egg, tastes like a delicious sukiyaki. The sagari steak was also very tasty, especially with the truffle butter sauce that came with it. The side dishes here are also top-notch, with delicious noodles and desserts that are carefully prepared. Since this restaurant is within walking distance from home, I was able to enjoy some drinks as well. The service was excellent, with the staff promptly changing the grill net every 15-20 minutes and checking on us frequently. Overall, dining here was a truly pleasant experience. I highly recommend this yakiniku chain restaurant for a delicious and enjoyable all-you-can-eat meal. Thank you for the delicious meal.
