Lunch ranges from 550 yen to 1000 yen. This time, I had the 1000 yen morning grilled meat set. The meat was huge and very satisfying. I was really full after eating it. It was also very delicious. The lunch set comes with soup as well.

I don't have as much money as my followers, so even though I'm poor, I want to treat myself to yakiniku occasionally. Beef is out of the question, but there is a place where I can eat yakiniku cheaply. I arrived at the restaurant before opening on a weekday, and the daughter of the owner put up a sign announcing the opening. Our eyes met, and even though we were both wearing masks, I felt like she gave me a smile. Probably just my imagination. I entered the restaurant and was seated at a table. I pretended to look at the menu, but what caught my eye was the chicken and pork set for 800 yen including tax (salad, kimchi, wakame soup included). Even though I can't afford beef, I can survive by eating chicken and pork. It feels a bit pitiful, but it can't be helped. A gas roaster was lit, a new grill was placed, and cold oolong tea and vegetable salad were served first. Thick slices of pork belly, chicken thigh meat, and breast meat were placed on a large plate, enough to satisfy my appetite. The grilled vegetables included cabbage, onion, bell pepper, and jumbo mushrooms. The sauces were sesame and yuzu-based. I also had plenty of wakame soup, napa cabbage kimchi, and unlimited rice. Since it wasn't beef this time, I decided to grill more from the start. I sang "I'm sorry" in my head, feeling the joy of eating yakiniku alone. When the meat started to char, I dipped it in the sauce and tried the pork and chicken on rice. It may not be as delicious as beef, but the sauce enhances the flavor of the meat. The fatty pork belly was sweet, and the chicken meat had a firm and bouncy texture that pleased my taste buds. I reduced the heat and savored the meal slowly. The wakame soup was full of fresh seaweed and had a delightful aroma of sesame oil. The napa cabbage kimchi seemed to be well-fermented. I've been wanting more kimchi, but I wonder if it's possible. If the owner sees this review, I would be happy, but they probably won't. I was full and even had half a serving of rice. I realized the importance of money after eating all of that for 800 yen including tax. Someday, I'll try to take a picture of the daughter from the sign. I've tried negotiating, but she won't agree to it!

There is a Korean barbecue specialty restaurant where a beautiful signboard girl is working hard with her mother. Customers come to see the daughter, who is known for her beauty. The location is near Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, close to the Dazaifu IC on the highway. The last time I went, the signboard girl told me to try something when I come next time. I couldn't miss the chance to visit when a beautiful person like her invites you. On the day with no plans, I waited in the parking lot in front of the store for the weekday opening. Being the first customer right after opening, I was welcomed with a smile by the daughter and seated at a table. I had to try the daughter's recommendation, even though it's cheap. I ordered the Steak Donburi for 550 yen tax included. Normally, the mother cooks, but I heard the daughter's voice from the kitchen saying, "I'll make it." Considering the low price, I imagined it would be imported beef sagari meat. Is it something worth expecting at this price? The bowl had plenty of rice, Korean seaweed neatly arranged, and 7 thick slices of meat cooked in a frying pan, about 5-6mm thick. It was cooked in a sweet and salty soy sauce-based sauce and placed on top of the rice, with the remaining sauce poured over it. Mustard was prepared in the corner of the bowl, which I dipped the meat in before taking a bite with the rice. Huh, it's not sagari meat, it's a bit overcooked but doesn't have the unique smell of offal. It must be loin meat, tender and probably using a good part of US beef. If it's tender meat, I don't care about the origin. The amount of sauce perfectly complements the rice, and the Wakame seaweed soup with plenty of soup also comes with it. The fresh Wakame and the aroma of sesame oil stimulate the appetite. I drank the soup as a break with chopsticks. The small plate had a vegetable salad and Chinese cabbage kimchi. This is much tastier than eating a beef bowl from a certain beef bowl chain at this price. I don't go there often, but after finishing the meal, when I mentioned that they were using loin meat at the register, I was told with a smile, "Did you notice?" I can distinguish it to that extent. I had a little chat with the daughter, but for some reason, I felt a little excited. I wonder what that was all about. I felt like I regained a little bit of my youth and left the restaurant. *It would have been nice if they had wasabi too...

Everyone doesn't have money like you do. Eventually, everyone will experience life on a pension. Only a few fortunate pensioners can afford to enjoy a luxurious lunch. Even if you are poor, sometimes you crave for real yakiniku. While hormone is undeniably delicious, there are times when you also want to eat loin or kalbi meat. I decided to go out for yakiniku after a while since I have a little spare change saved up. I haven't been to that restaurant for a long time. It is located in Mizuki, Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, near Dazaifu IC. It has been two years since my last visit. I arrived before noon on a weekday and waited in the parking lot until the restaurant opened at noon. As soon as it opened, I entered and was seated by the cute daughter of the owner. I ordered the top yakiniku set meal for 1,000 yen including tax. It is the highest-priced lunch menu at this restaurant. The gas burner on the shichirin was lit, and after about 4 minutes, everything was ready. I took a photo first before grilling and eating. The plate was filled with wagyu loin meat with marbling that looks magnificent to a poor person. There are 10 pieces, so my mouth should be delighted 10 times. I also enjoyed the grilled vegetables of cabbage, onion, bell pepper, and carrot. The restaurant provided both the original sauce and yuzu sauce, but I only used the original sauce. I have developed a habit of grilling slowly over low heat. I slightly seared it, dipped it in the original sauce, and ate it on the rice, which was the best. The rice portion was small, but you could ask for a refill. The tender meat with the sweet and savory original sauce was perfect. I think everyone eats it the same way, but firm rice goes well with yakiniku. The cooking level was also excellent, especially since they used good quality rice. You can tell that your mouth is happy. The joy of eating 10 pieces of this meat is the best feeling for lunch. The pickled Chinese cabbage kimchi had a crunchy texture. I quickly asked for a refill as soon as I ran out of rice. The daughter served me with a pleasant smile. The ample wakame seaweed soup had a nice aroma of sesame oil that tickled my nose. This was a palate cleanser that I ate in several sittings. As I was eating, customers kept coming in one after another. The presence of salarymen was noticeable, and their source of energy is also meat. Most of the salarymen ordered the cheap 550 yen set meal. I wonder how much their lunch budget is these days. My followers always eat expensive meals, which makes me crave yakiniku. In reality, I should live on udon, which is cheaper, but I felt satisfied after eating. I probably will go back soon since I have found the menu I want to try.

The delayed rainy season has brought intense humidity. On such days, a hot lunch seems to be the perfect remedy. I visited Zenshu-ya Dazaifu Inter Branch in Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. Although I knew they served lunch, no one had posted a review yet. However, a couple of MyRebi users had already visited and left positive feedback. Intrigued, I decided to visit the restaurant for lunch. I arrived almost right at noon, but there were already a few cars parked outside. I was seated in a cozy four-person sunken kotatsu table. I ordered the stone bibimbap set meal (500 yen), a piping hot rice dish. After a short wait, the salad arrived, followed by the main dish. The rice sizzled in the stone pot, topped with bean sprouts, carrots, spinach namul, minced meat, egg yolk, and finely shredded Korean seaweed. After mixing everything together, I waited for the crispy rice crust to form. I sampled the kimchi and wakame soup while waiting. Finally, I dug into the bibimbap, savoring each bite. The dish stayed hot until the very last bite, and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

I felt like eating yakiniku on a weekday morning. I decided to go to a place I had been to before and enjoyed. I left my house to match the opening time and arrived at a udon restaurant around noon. I ordered the yakiniku set meal for 1000 yen, which includes rice and soup refills. The table had a grill where they cooked the vegetables and kimchi first, followed by a generous serving of beef - four slices of sirloin and five slices of kalbi. The meat looked delicious and I couldn't wait to eat it. I cooked the meat slowly, as I remembered that you should not overcook it. The meat was so tender and flavorful, especially when dipped in the original sauce. The meal was accompanied by various vegetables and two types of sauce. The rice was a bit soft this time, but you could tell it was of good quality. I enjoyed savoring each bite of the meat and ended up needing a rice refill. The friendly waitress even offered me a complimentary after-meal coffee. I wonder if she could see me eating from behind the scenes. I might consider going back soon for another meal like this, even though I find it difficult to eat garlic.

This year, I decided to focus on eating set meals as much as possible and take care of my body. I need to be mindful of my age and eat a balanced lunch with meat, fish, and noodles. However, I absolutely refuse to eat shredded cabbage. So, I decided to try this restaurant where I saw a group of women eating last time. I visited the restaurant at 11:30 am on a weekday, but it was not open and there was no signboard. As I was wandering around the entrance of the restaurant, a young female staff member came out and told me that the business hours had changed to starting at 12 pm. Despite this, she kindly let me in as they were still preparing. I couldn't resist her kind smile. I ordered a stone pot bibimbap set meal for 500 yen (with soup, salad, and kimchi), but I felt that this alone would not be enough, so I also ordered 60g of beef tripe for 350 yen and 80g of beef intestines for 350 yen. As I waited for the meat to be served, my anticipation grew. The hot stone pot bibimbap arrived with boiled bean sprouts, spinach namul, shredded carrots, ground meat, and chopped seaweed. I added plenty of gochujang, mixed it well, and enjoyed the aroma of oyster sauce. The burnt rice at the bottom of the pot was just right. I also added more gochujang. It was delicious, but I felt that it might be a bit lacking for men. I was glad I ordered the offal. The beef tripe had a good chewy texture, which I like. The beef intestines had a good balance of fat and tasted great when dipped in the light soy sauce-based sauce. I wished there was more cabbage kimchi. The wakame soup was also delicious. Although coffee was offered as a service after the meal, I was too full to accept it. When I asked about the reason for the delayed opening hours, I was told that they were delivering bento boxes, which caused them to return late and change their opening time to this hour. I was glad I ordered the offal in addition to the bibimbap as it turned out to be a place where you can enjoy good quality meat at a low price.

Today, I visited this restaurant because the first person who wrote a review (I call him Master Hakumai) said that the rice was delicious, so I felt relieved about that aspect (or rather, I visited because that person wrote a review (laughs)). I ordered the Upper Yakiniku set meal, and added Harami and Shimacho. There were two types of sauce, Hon-dare and Yuzu sauce, as well as salt and pepper and Shichimi provided. The Yuzu sauce is light and refreshing, while the Hon-dare is sweet and relatively light, so you can choose according to your preference. Ham in a meat set meal is not very common, but when grilled thoroughly, it adds a nice smoky flavor and works well as a side dish with rice. The main meat in the Upper Yakiniku set (resembling loin) had marbling, was tender, and delicious. The grilled vegetables that come with lunch sets are usually generous, including onions and green peppers, making it a great deal for around 1000 yen. As for the rice, it was indeed delicious with a firm texture, just as Master Hakumai's review mentioned! This is the essence of Tabelog, where if you see a review saying "the rice here is high-quality (delicious)," you can trust it. Also, the hostess at this restaurant is incredibly beautiful and charming, so I thought there might be people who come here just to see her. Thank you for the meal.

The day before, I had a disappointing experience eating steak from beef sagari meat, which is something I normally wouldn't do two days in a row. But I wasn't satisfied, so I decided to come back to this restaurant the next day. It's a yakiniku specialty restaurant near Dazaifu IC in Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. I visited just before noon on a weekday, and there weren't many customers yet. The young and beautiful female staff members seemed busy, so I asked about it. They mentioned that a group of around 30 Korean people would be coming, possibly on their way back from Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. The staff actually remembered me from a few days ago when I visited. It made me happy to be recognized, showing my age. I was pleasantly seated at a table, and I ordered the following: - Beef Harami set meal for 900 yen - Shimacho 80g for 350 yen This time, I decided to have more meat for lunch to make sure I get enough nutrients and because I wanted to gain some weight. I currently weigh 59 kilograms. The gas stove was lit, and I was served rice, wakame soup, vegetable salad, and Chinese cabbage kimchi while waiting for the meat. I wanted to take pictures, so I resisted the temptation to eat anything. The harami meat that was served was unevenly shaped end pieces, which didn't bother me much because the taste would be the same once cooked. There were about 7 pieces of meat, totaling around 150g, I think. The Shimacho meat, 80g, was more than I expected, with 5 large pieces. I cooked and ate them slowly, as I am used to doing as a frugal person. The harami meat was incredibly tender, without the usual smell of organ meat. It was delicious. The Shimacho meat was chewy and delightful. I ate it with the original sauce provided, and it was a joy in my mouth. Eating this kind of meal for lunch makes me feel happy and fortunate. The side vegetables included cabbage, bell pepper, onion, and carrot. The cabbage was tasty when grilled, and the Chinese cabbage kimchi was excellent, providing a slight sourness that enhanced the flavor. Just the kimchi alone could make me eat a bowl of rice. I won't comment on the rice as I have mentioned it in my previous review, but it was excellent. I loved it so much that I even got a second helping of it. The wakame soup was average in taste, but while I was eating, a group of three women at the next table ordered the bibimbap for 500 yen. I was curious to see what it looked like, but unfortunately, I couldn't. Overall, I can highly recommend this restaurant. Sometimes you just have to eat meat, right?

Oh no, the yakiniku restaurant I was planning to go for lunch is closed. I found another yakiniku restaurant on the way, so I decided to give it a try. Located near Dazaifu IC in Mizuki, Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, the restaurant seemed affordable. The interior had only sunken kotatsu-style seating and was quite spacious. I ordered the yakiniku set meal for 1000 yen which included beef loin slices, ham steak, vegetables, and rice. The meat was tender and delicious, especially when eaten with the sauce provided. The homemade kimchi was also very tasty. The rice was firm and cooked just right. I was too full for the complimentary coffee at the end. Overall, it was a satisfying meal in an authentic yakiniku restaurant setting.

Near the Dazaifu Interchange, there is a yakiniku restaurant called Zenshuuya. I stumbled upon it while driving along the Route 3 Bypass. I ordered the Harami lunch. Although it wasn't listed on the menu, I believed the reviews that said refills were free, so I also ordered additional pork tongue and Shimacho. The Harami was served with about 10 slices, satisfyingly thick and with a great texture. It was delicious. The pork tongue was thinly sliced but had a crunchy texture and a strong salt and pepper seasoning, making it tasty. The Shimacho was also sizeable and had a good thickness, and it was delicious. Rice refills were free. The affordability of the additional menu items and the cuteness of the hostess had me smitten. All the male customers who visited were chatting her up (laughs). It was a bit chilly near the entrance.
