After a long time, I decided to have lunch at a restaurant and was thinking of trying their lunch menu, but the CEO of my household approved beer (^O^)v I ordered beer, Genghis Khan, and the seasonal limited cold noodles. The Genghis Khan dish was "Hokkaido Genghis Khan Special" for 987 yen, and it had a beautiful color. It seemed to be made from shoulder loin, but it was tender with a nice lamb aroma. The special sauce was a slightly salty soy sauce-based sauce with a rich flavor. When I sprinkled some shichimi pepper on it and ate it, it was delicious! I will definitely try this at home too! The seasonal limited cold noodles were Sudachi cold noodles. Since I also ordered beer, I had a half portion. The refreshing taste of the cold noodles was enhanced by the sourness of Sudachi. It was delicious!

Today, I decided to try a yakiniku restaurant that I had been curious about for a while. They have a Genghis Khan set meal on their menu, and I felt like I had to try it at least once. I arrived slightly late for lunch, around 1 pm, and by that time, the lunchtime crowd had started to thin out. There were plenty of parking spaces available when I arrived, and the restaurant had many empty seats as well. I was seated right away and ordered the "Large Hokkaido Genghis Khan Lunch" with a 300g rice portion, opting for a complimentary iced coffee. The price was ¥1078 including tax. The meat portion was 150g, which was considered a large serving. The meat was a bit tough, and I wasn't a fan of grilling it on the mesh. The vegetables consisted mainly of onions, which I started grilling first before adding the meat. The meat was hand-cut, fresh, and didn't have a strong smell. It was slightly tough, but tasted decent when dipped in the sauce. I added garlic for more flavor. The rice was good, and I regretted not ordering more as I ran out before finishing the meat. The iced coffee was average. Overall, I felt that the Genghis Khan at a yakiniku restaurant was not quite what I was looking for, and I decided to try a dedicated Genghis Khan restaurant next time.

The place is located inside the grounds at 2-13-9-22 Shinkotoni 2-jo, Kita-ku, Sapporo City. Next to it is Nagoyaka-tei, which also offers lunch on weekends. They have a menu with a good value, and I ordered the lunch with motsu (offal) simmered dish. The photo shows a plate of beef sagari. The meal started with namul (Korean seasoned vegetables) and cold tofu, which were delicious. Then the meat arrived, which was tasty with a rich red meat flavor. After that, they served motsu miso stew, but I forgot to take a picture because I ate it right away. That's all from a foodie's perspective!

I was very satisfied with my lunch, but I couldn't resist trying the grand menu at night. So, I mobilized my grandchildren and visited the restaurant. Every type of meat was delicious and full of flavor, but the standout was the "Lamb Chop"! It was a bit pricey at 980 yen per piece, but considering the disappointment of a common lamb chop, I took a chance since this restaurant has surprised me before. When it arrived, I was amazed! It was a thick cut, about 2cm, with a cut in the middle, served as a single piece. It was very generous and satisfying! It seems like a limited-time menu, so I'll definitely be back for it again soon!

After a long time, I visited for lunch! The restaurant had a somewhat upscale atmosphere, and you could enjoy quite good meat for around 1000 yen... It felt like a great deal. This time, I ordered the "Deluxe Set Meal" for 1680 yen, and the household CEO ordered the "Manpuku Lunch" for 1280 yen. The Deluxe Set Meal included three types of delicious meat (black wagyu karubi, premium lamb, premium sagari). The portion size was just right since I can't eat too much these days. But... the kakuteki alone could fill up a bowl of rice (;'∀') Each piece of meat was thickly cut and cooked with care... It was really delicious. The Manpuku Lunch was a generous portion! It was the only menu item that included pork karubi, so the household CEO was excited. All the meats were delicious, but as expected from the Manpuku Lunch, the quantity was impressive! The household CEO couldn't finish it alone, so I helped and we managed to finish it... It was a struggle. After enjoying the meat, we had dessert. They had a limited-time white peach smoothie! Of course, we tried it. After a while, we heard the sound of a juicer spinning in the kitchen. They make it fresh right there! What arrived was simply crushed white peach! The peach flavor was irresistible! It was delicious! It seems to be white peach season, so it might be ending soon? I want to come back next summer for this!

I had an unexpected lunch meeting and arrived at the restaurant feeling quite full from the ramen and half-fried rice I had earlier. I decided to order the Sagari set meal at Makigakuen thinking it would be manageable, but to my surprise, the menu had been updated to include a set menu with simmered tripe. I opted to focus on the meat first since I couldn't handle soup at the moment. However, the appearance of the Sagari was quite different from what I was used to - it looked more like chopped pieces rather than the neat slices I was accustomed to. When I tried it, I found the texture to be a bit tough and sinewy, unlike the flavorful tenderness I was expecting. Perhaps it was due to the impact of the pandemic or a change in the cut of meat, but either way, it was a bit disappointing compared to the deliciousness I had experienced before.

【Bokkaen Shin-Kinji Store】Recently, it's easy to enjoy yakiniku for one person at lunch♪ This is a restaurant I was curious about and had bookmarked. The revolving sushi place nearby is more inviting, so I hadn't been able to bring myself to come here, but today I finally did! They have lunch sets, but I wanted to try the Genghis Khan or other meats and horumon...so I went for the regular menu set. "Stamina Set" includes thickly sliced grilled beef tongue with salt. Usually, they serve beef tongue with salted leeks on top, but I wish the leeks could be served on the side. The salt seasoning was good. The crispy surface of the pork belly is my favorite. It enhances the heat and flavor. The white collar horumon felt a bit frozen, but it's reasonably priced. The Hokkaido beef upper mino was enjoyable with a good texture and pre-cut for easy cooking. The pork horumon was thin, but nothing special. The rice was standard, I chose 200g. The miso soup was typical. The salad was made with sunny lettuce leaves. The kimchi was spicy and delicious. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

I had never been before even though it was a place I often passed by, so I decided to give it a try. It was crowded even though it was before noon, with 2 groups ahead of me, so I was the third in line. The inside of the restaurant had a lot of stained glass, creating a stylish and calming atmosphere. I sat at a table for two with a built-in stove. I ordered the "jou-sagari" set meal, which cost 980 yen before tax. The portion was a bit small. I prefer the difficulty of grilling over charcoal, but this one used a different type of heat source. A drink was included with the lunch set, and I ordered coffee after the meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, but I felt like something was missing.

When it comes to yakiniku, I used to only go to buffet-style restaurants where you can enjoy all sorts of options. But maybe because of my age, I've started to feel less satisfied after eating too much and end up feeling too full to move. So, I decided to try a restaurant with set meals where the portion size is fixed! I visited this place, where we sat at a large table for six with just two of us... it felt a bit awkward. I ordered the "Deluxe Set Meal," which is a bit pricey but includes Genghis Khan (grilled lamb) which is only available in this set meal. My partner ordered the "Three Kinds of Kalbi Set Meal." When we placed our order, we were served with a side salad and kimchi. This time, surprisingly, I got permission from my partner (who will be driving us back) to have a beer! Beer goes well with grilled meat, right? When my Deluxe Set Meal arrived, it looked a bit lacking in quantity, but when I started eating, it turned out to be surprisingly filling! Good quality for the price! I recommend it for lunchtime!

I have only been to Makigahara for lunch, but the "Jou Sagari Teishoku" I had there was the best Sagari I have ever had, with better meat quality than any other place I have tried. It is so delicious that I always use it as the standard for comparing Sagari from other places. It is the ultimate Sagari. And on top of that, it is very cost-effective (950 yen). Sometimes when I feel like I need more, I end up ordering an extra serving.

It's similar to Shin Kyodo. After eating taiyaki and sakuramochi while walking, I found Nagoyakatei and Bokkatei nearby! It's a bit early, but I'll have lunch here. I was debating between the two, but I feel like having yakiniku (grilled meat) now. It's still early, so it's not too crowded. I'm sitting at a table for four by myself. They serve corn tea as a complimentary drink. I ordered the Stamina set for 1,380 yen plus tax, which includes pork belly, grilled beef tongue with green onions, salted beef tongue, Hokkaido beef skirt meat, delicious pork intestines, rice, miso soup, salad, and kimchi. I chose this set because I mainly wanted to have beef tongue and intestines. The portion size is decent. It's sufficient for a lunch meal. The quality of the meat is just average, similar to what you would find at a typical all-you-can-eat restaurant. The beef tongue and intestines taste okay, nothing exceptional. Since it's under the same management as Nagoyakatei, I had high expectations, so I was a bit disappointed. Overall, it was a decent meal.

Located near the intersection of Shin-Kinuji-like area, 2nd Street and Nishino Tonden Street, this yakiniku restaurant is affiliated with the neighboring conveyor belt sushi restaurant "Nagoyaka-tei," making it convenient to use the shared parking space. I visited this place for the first time as I was in the mood for yakiniku during the day. Although there were a fair number of customers, it seems that the neighboring Nagoyaka-tei is more popular. I ordered the "Deluxe Set Meal (1,580 yen excluding tax)" with "extra rice (50 yen excluding tax)" and shared the "Delicious Raw Pork Hormone (420 yen excluding tax)" with my wife. The Deluxe Set Meal includes black wagyu kalbi, Makukasen Genghis Khan, top sagari, grilled vegetables, rice, miso soup, salad, and kimchi. While the portion size was decent, I didn't find the quality of the black wagyu meat to be particularly high. The set menu offers a good amount of meat for a reasonable price, making it suitable for groups of people.

Yakiniku restaurant of Sansei Restaurant System. There are 4 stores in Sapporo, except for this store, the name is "Bokuzen". It is located next to Nagoyakatei Shinkotoni store, with a very spacious parking lot. The appearance is peaceful as the name suggests. Inside the restaurant, there are spacious booth seats like a family restaurant. There are many partitions, so you can enjoy your meal without feeling uncomfortable. There is a weekday lunch menu with a wide range of prices, ranging from 650 yen to 1,580 yen. In addition, there are 4 types of Sundubu jjigae lunch menus. This time, I chose the "Aged Salted Thick-cut Beef Tongue Set Meal" (1,480 yen). The set meal includes beef tongue, rice, tail soup, grated yam, Nanban miso, and pickles. The set meal was brought to me in about 10 minutes. There are 8 thick slices of tongue. Plenty of grated yam and dashi soy sauce are included. The tongue is salted and has a little salt sprinkled on the surface. It has a firm texture and just the right amount of saltiness. Even with its thickness, the saltiness is evenly distributed. Occasionally, eating it with Nanban miso makes the rice go down even better. The tail soup has a balanced flavor, not too salty. The tail meat is tender and the soup soaks into it. However, there is a small amount of tail meat. Overall, the set meal is just the right amount, but the price is not much different from a beef tongue specialty store. The "Recommended" items like "Upper Sagari Set Meal," "Manpuku Lunch," and "Cheese Sundubu Jjigae Lunch" seem very reasonable and promising.

When we placed our order, the amount was too much and it overflowed on the table, so we had to move some to other plates and cleverly tidy up the table while eating. Depending on the type of meat, the cooking time varies, so you have to plan the order of eating well. It's like a puzzle with barbecue. I was satisfied with the taste and quantity of the meat.
