I went to have dinner at Yakiniku Takimoto in Sakai, a gourmet pork restaurant for eating out every day. It's a popular place, so I made a reservation in advance before visiting. It's about a 10-minute walk from JR Sakai Station on the Hankai Line, so I drove there because the access is not very good. There was a coin parking lot nearby, so I parked my car there. Sakai has many famous yakiniku restaurants such as "Nama Horumon Tokoro Osamuchan," "Tsunechan," and "Yakiniku Katsuragi." There are also affiliated stores nearby like "Horumon Standing Bar Takimoto" and "Motsunabe Motsushabu Takimoto." Although Horumon Standing Bar Takimoto has a standing bar in its name, I was able to sit on a chair and eat when I visited. You can easily spot it with the red tent with "Takimoto" written on it. The interior of the restaurant has about 50 seats, including table seats and tatami mats, creating a casual atmosphere. You can order using the provided tablet, so I could easily order without hesitation, which was great for someone with a big appetite like me (laughs). ■ Drinks I had (per person) ☆ Oolong tea 227 yen ■ Dishes I had (per person) ☆ Sirloin steak 1 piece, about 250g, approximately 5665 yen ~ This sirloin steak is as impressive as those from high-end steak restaurants. The texture is similar to the Chateaubriand at Sumiyaki Kinryuzan. It's tender with a moderate marbling but doesn't make you feel heavy at all. I finished over 250g in no time by myself (laughs). ☆ Tongue steak 1 piece, about 100g, approximately 2266 yen This uses a thick cut of tongue meat. It's a tasty tongue steak with a good amount of fat. ☆ Homemade roast beef 1011 yen This is a recommended dish from the restaurant. The volume of the meat is quite substantial. The chilled roast beef goes well with the sauce. ☆ Original salad 832 yen Served with homemade sesame dressing. ☆ Egg soup (small) 475 yen The total cost was a little over 10,000 yen per person. For such a price to have such high-quality meat, it's truly a wonderful yakiniku restaurant! As expected of a butcher shop. Takimoto used to have a rating of nearly 4 on Tabelog. It has now dropped to 3.68 (as of May 2023), but in my opinion, it's still a restaurant that deserves more than 4 points! Why are there so many wonderful yakiniku restaurants in Sakai? If there was one near my house, I would have visited every month (laughs). The service from the owner and staff was great, and I had a fun yakiniku time. Thank you for the meal. I look forward to visiting again next time.

Visited by reservation at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. Managed to make a reservation by calling in the evening on the same day, but the restaurant was almost full by 6:00 p.m. The entrance is a bit hard to find. It feels like entering through a butcher shop and going towards the back. Orders are mainly placed through a touch panel, and the service is relatively quick. The quality of the meat is decent for the price, but not exceptional. I think the rice is quite overpriced.

I had always wanted to visit this place, so I decided to celebrate Respect for the Aged Day with dinner here. I made a reservation over the phone a week in advance. When I arrived at 6:00 PM and parked in the parking lot behind the restaurant, it was already almost full. It's a well-known place with a sign specializing in black wagyu beef and domestic hormones. We ordered using a tablet. We got the recommended 5 kinds of assorted meats for 4,500 yen, 5 kinds of hormone assortment for 1,900 yen, a small kimchi assortment, chisha cabbage, garlic foil-grilled rice x2, cold noodles, salted tongue x3, draft beer, and bottled beer. The quality of the meat was excellent and fresh, so we made sure not to overcook the marbled meat. My elementary school-aged child seemed to find the fatty parts a bit too much and only ate the salted tongue. The total came to around 16,000 yen. It was definitely worth the price.

I visited this yakiniku restaurant because I wanted to eat delicious meat at a reasonable price. The lineup of meats is of high quality, no matter which one you choose. The meats are categorized as special selection, premium, and high grade, with the trend being that the higher you go, the more marbled and tender the meat with more fat content. Some may find the premium grade to be just right. Personally, I felt that the special selection for tongue and harami, and premium for kalbi were perfect. Other features include free barley tea served in a jug, generous portion sizes for all menu items, kimchi with a strong sour taste due to fermentation, delicious yuzu sherbet dessert for only 150 yen, and a parking lot at the back of the store with space for 6-7 cars. Although it is not close by, the staff are friendly and make you want to visit again.

Visited in July 2023, the venue for the meat-eating girls' gathering was here. It's a little far from Sakai Station on the JR Hanwa Line, but it's a highly recommended yakiniku restaurant run by the popular butcher shop Takimoto Seinikuten. This place is listed in the top 100 yakiniku restaurants on Tabelog. I made a reservation and went there. We took off our shoes and sat in the back tatami room. Now, what should we order? There are so many options that I got really excited. Ordering through the touch panel was super smooth. On this day, I enjoyed as much meat as I liked and left feeling very satisfied. The food is delicious, cost-effective, and the atmosphere is just like a yakiniku restaurant, which I really like. The only regret is that everything seemed to be a bit too salty that day. It's a lively and popular place. It's a beloved restaurant, and I will definitely visit again.

I ordered the following menu items: - Wagyu roast beef yukhoe 832 yen - Kimchi assortment 858 yen - Beef tail simmered in soy sauce 475 yen - Black wagyu triangle kalbi 1,011 yen - Agopons 595 yen - Special sirloin 1,546 yen - Upper harami 1,011 yen - Fatty tetchan 416 yen - Fatty shimacho 448 yen - Egg soup small 475 yen - Oolong tea 227 yen x2 Thank you for the delicious meal! Thank you, Yakiniku Takimoto!

This restaurant is a famous place selected as one of the top 100 restaurants in Osaka and Sakai for grilled meat. I visited before 4 pm on weekends, wrote my name as number one on the waiting board, and waited for the opening at 4:30 pm. They have a time limit of 1.5 hours, so I ordered the premium menu items that seemed to sell out, along with grilled vegetables, oxtail soup (half), and oolong tea. After a while, the meat arrived. Each piece of meat had a beautiful marbling just like a high-end store. I cooked them to my liking and then tasted them. Delicious! The thickly sliced salted tongue was delicious, and the premium triangle kalbi, as well as all the other meats, were of high quality and delicious. The oxtail soup was so voluminous even in a half portion. Good quality meat can make your stomach tired from the fat content, but being able to enjoy this taste at this cost performance is wonderful. I would like to visit again when I am in the area. Thank you for the meal.

The quality of the meat is excellent! Each dish is a bit pricey but they also offer half size options which are reasonable. You can also take home leftovers and enjoy them at home. It might be a good idea to make a reservation, especially on weekends. They now accept phone reservations on weekends as well! The Upper Salted Tongue costs ¥2379.

I went to a yakiniku restaurant located behind the butcher shop at night. They serve cheap and delicious fresh meat. They offer half sizes so you can try various kinds of meat. It was great. They have tatami seating, so it's easy to go with children. There is also a parking lot, which is convenient.

The last of three consecutive New Year's parties with customers was in Sakai City. It's a 10-15 minute walk from JR Sakai City Station. The meat dishes were really delicious, and I was surprised that everything we tried was so tasty. The beer just kept flowing. There were also many families in the neighborhood, and I envied them for having such a delicious yakiniku restaurant nearby. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Despite the difficulties of the pandemic, it was my first visit in a long time. The store was clean and had a strong local feel. It was crowded, and the waiting area was small, so some people waited outside or in their cars. (Note: Currently non-smoking) As for my impression, the food was as delicious as ever! While there are other good yakiniku restaurants, the quality at this price point is amazing. It's no wonder that people come from far away to visit. I was extremely satisfied.

I arrived at JR Sakai Station! I walked from the station and found a shop in a residential area! It's a popular yakiniku restaurant with a hundred-year history! The restaurant is divided into a yakiniku section, a butcher shop, and a motsunabe (offal hot pot) section. The place was crowded, showing its popularity! Let's dig in! First, I tried the yukke-style roast beef. The egg and rare roast beef melted in my mouth, creating a perfect combination! The firm texture of the meat and the umami that comes out with each bite were amazing! For the lean cuts, I had harami and harami steak. The harami had a strong sweetness and umami that surprised me! It paired perfectly with white rice! The harami steak was thick and beautifully red. It melted in my mouth when I ate it, spreading the best umami flavor! When eaten with salt, the richness of the meat was enhanced, making it a luxurious treat! The marbling was incredible! I tried kalbi, bara, and tsurami. The thickness and beauty of the meat were impressive! The meat melted in my mouth instantly, spreading a delicious umami and sweetness! The umami-packed meat disappeared in my mouth smoothly, it was amazing! Not only the meat, but the drinks, kimchi, white rice, etc., were generous in portion and worth the price! The bibimbap at the end was finished with vinegared rice, and the crispy namul and fluffy rice were delicious! The cold noodles had a chewy and refreshing texture. The homemade yuzu sherbet had a fluffy shaved ice-like texture with a refreshing yuzu aroma, making it a fantastic dessert! The meat was high-quality and thick! Considering the quality and quantity of the meat, the price was quite reasonable! It's a delicious and fantastic restaurant! Please give it a try!

I ordered the special harami, premium salted tongue, grilled shabu-shabu, liver, heart rice, kimchi, beer, highball, and ginger ale. The restaurant supposedly offers domestic black wagyu beef, but I didn't feel the expected sweetness and richness of the fat. The price used to be reasonable about 10 years ago, but now with the price increase, there is still room for improvement in terms of cost performance. I've been here a few times, but there's always a gap, so I probably won't be coming back for a while.

Arrived around 16:00 because reservations are not available on Saturdays. Waited until the 16:30 opening by writing my name on the whiteboard inside the restaurant. Second group to be seated! Plenty of time to spare (￣∀￣) haha. Ordered only one portion of tongue as they limit it to one per group. I like thinly sliced meat, so I ordered the salted tongue. Also ordered the special top sirloin, loin, skirt meat, white kimchi, hormone, shima chou, lean sirloin, top belly, and bibimbap. And of course, some draft beer. Hmm, the sauce wasn't to my liking... Maybe my expectations were too high for a famous restaurant (・Д・). The top sirloin was the most delicious. It was great that the meat was served quickly! I was surprised by the amount of bibimbap. Thank you for the meal (*´ω`*)

This is a popular yakiniku restaurant that is said to be a second-generation famous restaurant along with "Katsuragi" in Sakai! I was very satisfied when I went to Katsuragi before, so this time I came to this other popular restaurant. The restaurant is larger than I imagined, and it is located next to a butcher shop, so it's not like a small smoky yakiniku restaurant, but rather a spacious and popular yakiniku restaurant. I made a reservation and visited the place. I wandered around the area to kill some time, but there weren't many open restaurants on a Sunday. However, I found a chicken shop near the station by chance. When the reservation time came, I headed to the restaurant. The popularity of Takimoto is amazing, with a large crowd in front of the restaurant and reserved people being called in one after another. I sat down when it was my turn and toasted with a beer. When I looked at the menu, I noticed that there are small portions for almost every menu item. It's nice to be able to enjoy various types of meat little by little, and the prices are reasonable. Actually, is that their selling point? I'm not good at touch panels for ordering, but I ordered various items such as kimchi assortment, Wagyu yukke-style roast beef, salted tongue, special harami, special loin, special kalbi, special tsumami, grilled shabu shabu thigh, maruchan, fatty intestine, and various drinks. I love cuts like upper loin and harami. The basic style is to leave it to the other person. The upper tongue was not amazing, but it was good. The special harami has a good texture and is easy to chew. It goes well with the three types of sauces. I also tried the horumon. Hmm, I might not be very good at it after all. Lion's favorite is cuts with marbling like kalbi and loin. The depth of flavor of the meat seems to be lacking somehow. The grilled shabu shabu is light and can be eaten with raw egg. The finale was stone bibimbap. This stone bibimbap is full of ingredients. It's full of ingredients, and the meat broth that comes out from the edge of the meat is delicious. I want to eat this again. It was delicious. I was too excited and ended up a little disappointed. Lion prefers Katsuragi with its smoky atmosphere. But the most important thing is to have fun. I finally got to visit the restaurant I wanted to go to. I'm satisfied. They have small sizes and it seems like it's okay for solo diners. Overall, the cost performance is great, and it was mostly families dining there. Thank you! #Sakai #Yakiniku #SecondGenerationFamousRestaurant #KatsuragiLoveLol. #SavannahinLion♡

Osaka, Sakai City's yakiniku restaurant. It used to be really delicious when I first came, but today it was just average! They used to have raw yukhoe and liver, but not anymore! They also don't serve hormone yaki anymore, so I guess I won't be coming back.

This is a famous restaurant in Sakai! Great cost performance, quality of meat, no complaints about this place! It's located in a downtown residential area. There is a coin parking nearby, so it's okay to go by car! You need to make a reservation here, otherwise you'll have to wait in line! It's a meat shop, maybe motsunabe? It's the place with a line! I've been here several times, and the quality of the meat is consistently good, and the cost performance is great! If you come to Sakai, you should definitely visit this place!

Yakiniku Takimoto is a popular yakiniku restaurant located a 12-15 minute walk from Sakai Station. They are known for their high-quality meat sourced from a meat wholesaler. The restaurant is popular among locals in the Sakai area and was selected as one of the top 100 yakiniku restaurants in the 2020 Yakiniku West ranking. The restaurant has a surprisingly large number of seats, with both traditional tatami and table seating available, making it a popular choice for families. We ordered popular menu items such as salted tongue, premium harami, premium loin, and stone-grilled bibimbap. While they offer regular loin and premium loin options, the premium loin stood out for its perfect balance of fat and lack of greasiness, making it a great choice to pair with stone-grilled bibimbap or drinks. When it comes to loin, there are different cuts such as shoulder loin, rib loin, and sirloin, and this restaurant offers rare and high-quality cuts like "zabuton" shoulder loin, providing delicious meat at a reasonable price. If you're looking to enjoy tasty meat at an affordable price, be sure to visit Yakiniku Takimoto. Bon appétit!

The original source is here ↓https://ameblo.jp/fry2567/entry-12677255093.html This time it's Yakiniku Takimoto. Of course, I had to buy the Hormone Yaki 100g for 150 yen. In fact, the Hormone Yaki has been temporarily discontinued since last summer. When I heard that it was back, I didn't hesitate to rush over. The Hormone Yaki being grilled in front of the shop is so appetizing, it makes you crave a beer just by looking at it. And when I got home, I enjoyed it very much♪ I bought 300g, and it only cost 450 yen!!! So cheap!!! And it includes a variety of hormones. The seasoning is perfect for drinking beer. With 300g, I'm confident I can finish a 7-liter keg of Kirin beer all by myself. Of course, it's best enjoyed on a sunny day while relaxing on a bench. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. But it really does go well with beer. Since I have no beer at home, I'll enjoy it with red wine. The Hormone Yaki here is truly the best. By the way, you can also buy it at the nearby Hormone Stand-up Bar Takimoto. It's the perfect appetizer that makes alcohol go down easily♪ It's always delicious~ Thank you for the meal♪

Osaka Sakai's Yakiniku Takimoto-san - Upper Salted Tongue (2000 yen) - Special Harami (1800 yen) - Special Sirloin (2000 yen) - Special Kalbi (1600 yen) - Premium Belly (1100 yen) - Special Skirt (950 yen) - Beef Tripe (600 yen) - Tongue Sita (700 yen) It's been a long time since I had yakiniku ✨✨ A happy day where I could consume a large amount of fat at Takimoto, a famous restaurant in Sakai. I still want more marbled meat. My companion, who is still in their 20s, complains that the marbled fat is too strong. I know that tender cuts like sirloin and Chateaubriand are delicious too. I also enjoy chewy meats like foreign steaks. But I still want to indulge in marbled fat.

The restaurant is a bit far from the station, so many people come by car. There is no parking lot, so please park at a nearby parking lot. Located near a residential area and also a butcher shop, this famous restaurant is loved by locals. Families with young children can visit without any issues. However, it can be noisy and smoking is allowed, so it may be tough for those who are bothered by it. The food is undeniably delicious and reasonably priced! You can visit without a reservation, but depending on the timing, you may have to wait quite a bit.
