This is a restaurant review for a charcoal-grilled yakiniku buffet located in Nishi Ward, Sapporo City. The restaurant is owned by a company called Life Corporation based in Kitami City, Hokkaido, and is affiliated with "Kaikaku-en" (I'm not familiar with it though). When I called to make a reservation on the day of my visit, they told me, "If you arrive by 4:00 PM, we can secure a seat for you, but if you come after 5:00 PM, you will have to wait in line." Since I couldn't go early, I had no choice but to wait in line. They said they would contact me by email or phone when a seat became available, so it was okay to wait outside the restaurant. Today, I tried the luxurious plan with 180 items (2,980 yen), the greedy plan with 170 items (2,480 yen), and the lively plan with 120 items (1,980 yen) excluding tax. Among the three plans, I chose the lively plan with all-you-can-drink option (1,500 yen), which features a variety of classic dishes such as kalbi, sagari, and fresh hormone directly delivered from a butcher. As a hormone lover, all I need is pork hormone, and the hormone grilled over charcoal (even though it's actually molded charcoal) is delicious! The pork hormone here is thin and has a good texture, which I find particularly tasty. I only ate pork hormone (miso flavor) by myself, with a total of 8 plates. Despite having 120 items on the menu, I only tried 3 dishes including dessert. But my brain and stomach are both very satisfied! Bon appétit. Also, ordering is easy with touch panel screens, so you don't have to go to get food every time (excluding soft drinks and desserts), making it convenient!
