ぎんじろう☆彡
☆彡Located in Houshinji Yokocho, a restaurant specializing in Iga beef, I wanted to visit a place where I could taste Iga beef. The restaurant is equipped with a powerful smokeless roaster, and the air inside the restaurant is completely refreshed in just 3 and a half minutes. When making a reservation, you are seated in a private room, providing a safe and secure dining experience.
Menu items include:
- Aged Harami Steak (serves about 2 people, 2,560 yen)
- Aged Tongue Steak (serves about 2 people, 2,560 yen)
- Iga Beef Premium 5-variety Platter (serves 2 people, 5,980 yen) which includes rib roast, knuckle, thick-cut tongue, premium lean, and triangle belly

The cover photo showcases a thick-cut aged Harami steak, which is tender and has a unique texture typical of Harami. When you take a bite, the aged umami flavor oozes out, making it incredibly delicious.
To truly savor the goodness of Iga beef, I ordered the Premium 5-variety Platter. The thick-cut knuckle of Iga beef (Japanese Black cattle) was beautifully marbled, and at first glance, you could tell it was a delicious cut. The rare knuckle of Japanese Black cattle was luxuriously thick-cut, providing an exquisite texture that was beyond words.
The knuckle was so delicious that I couldn't help but exclaim in the private room. Despite eating such a high-quality cut of meat, there was no greasiness at all. Not only does the fat melt in your mouth, but the umami flavor of the lean meat is amazing. Iga beef is particularly known for its strong umami flavor in lean meat, making it incredibly delicious.
I ordered individual premium cuts of meat, totaling around 9,000 yen per person (including drinks). In the calm atmosphere of the private room, the quality of the meat justifies the price. There are also meat platter menus and courses that can be enjoyed for 5,000 to 6,000 yen, including all-you-can-drink options. I can't wait to go back and savor the unique flavor of Iga beef again.
