This is Chikusui Motomachi. My wife and I came here for yakiniku, to a place with special memories, Tamura-san's restaurant. When our eldest daughter was in junior high school, she had a difficult surgery and was hospitalized for three months. Of course, she is now healthy and energetic, but it was a tough time back then. Anyway, we decided to have yakiniku here, a place filled with memories. We had ginger ale since we drove here! We ordered the special beef set, two servings of pork hormone, two servings of beef tongue, yukhoe (Korean beef tartare), and jjigae (spicy stew). The meat was cooked just right, not overdone. The premium kalbi, loin, and sagari melted in our mouths! My wife loves pork hormone, so we ordered an extra two servings. The thickness and seasoning of the meat were perfect and delicious. The beef tongue was tender and the fat was irresistible. The yukhoe was my favorite. The jjigae was piping hot and I drank it all at once, being careful not to burn myself. It was amazing. We talked about our children's future while enjoying the yakiniku. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I wanted to eat delicious yakiniku, so I was prepared to spend a lot of money on my first visit. The restaurant was spacious, and I was seated in a raised seating area at the back. The smoking area was outside, which was good. - Special Sagari from Hokkaido for 2380 yen: This Sagari was different from any I had eaten before. It was incredibly tender and had a rich meaty flavor. It was the most delicious thing I ate that day. It's a bit pricey, but I definitely want to eat it again next time. - Wagyu Special Thick-cut Chateaubriand for 5380 yen: As shown in the second photo, the thick-cut meat was divided into 8 pieces. Being on a budget, I thought each bite would cost around 700 yen (laughs). I ate it with wasabi soy sauce and topped with green onions. It was delicious, tender, and worth the high price. It's a bit expensive, so once you try it, you'll be satisfied. - Special Beef Tongue for 2780 yen: It was delicious, but I felt like I could get tastier tongue for a bit cheaper at other yakiniku restaurants. - Bibai-seasoned Genghis Khan for 880 yen: Delicious! This is the real Genghis Khan! The seasoning makes it go well with rice. - Homemade Wiener Sausage for 680 yen: I wonder if it's homemade, but it was delicious. - Hokkaido Beef Upper Hormone for 680 yen: It had a lot of fat. It's the type that shrinks quite a bit when you cook it. It was delicious. - Galbi Jjim Soup Medium Spicy for 700 yen: This was also one of the best things I ate that day! The seasoning was incredibly delicious. It's at a level where I think I should have ordered one for each person! - Tamura's Staff Meal Warm Egg and Minced Meat Rice for 550 yen: This rice was also delicious. I couldn't stop eating it. - Assorted Homemade Kimchi 2 types for 750 yen: The oi kimchi had perilla leaves in it, and personally, I can't eat perilla leaves, so next time I'll choose a different kimchi. - Rice: Very satisfying. The things I want to order again next time are the Sagari and the soup!

For lunch, I had yakiniku at this popular restaurant in Sapporo. The meat and sauce were delicious, and the prices were reasonable. I had the full stomach yakiniku lunch set for 2,680 yen and a half-size salt cold noodles for 650 yen. I went there because I had some T-Point rewards that were about to expire. Even though I also used points for my family, it wasn't enough. Haha.

Meat is really delicious. Every menu I tried was delicious without a doubt. The beef tongue is so tender. The combination with vegetables is also great. The portion of rice is large, so I should have ordered less haha. For my birthday, my friend surprised me with this dessert♡ It was delicious and not too heavy.

This time, we decided to have yakiniku together at a restaurant in Kikusui Motomachi in Shiroishi-ku. The restaurant is located along Minami 7-jo Yonesato Street, between the Circular Route and Kita 13-jo Kitago Street. Please check the exact location on Tabelog map as usual. We arrived at the restaurant, parked our car in the front parking lot, and entered the restaurant. We informed them of our reservation and were guided to a sunken kotatsu room at the back to sit down. Here are the items we ordered (photos are representative only): 1. We started with drinks, ordering a small-sized draft beer in a mug, which was a bit disappointing. 2. The "Kimchi Assortment" arrived quickly, and the white kimchi turned out to be surprisingly spicy. 3. Next, we had the "Gyutan Zanmai," which consisted of various thinly sliced beef tongue and plain cut leeks that were quite spicy. 4. The main dish was the "Recommended Assorted Meat Platter," which was quite pricey but the meat was decently tasty. 5. Finally, we ordered the "Upper Mino," a white meat cut, for one person only, and personally, I found that slowly grilled Upper Mino was the most delicious. We enjoyed chatting and eating yakiniku together this time, but as I get older, I realize that I prefer enjoying yakiniku alone, being able to eat meat at my own pace.

I usually go to all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurants that focus on quantity and cost performance, but today I came here for the first time seeking quality and satisfaction. I ordered the family set, and enjoyed the high-quality and delicious Genghis Khan, kalbi, hormone, local chicken, etc.

Today is the last day of my two-day weekend. I woke up around 3 am and after reading many reviews, I got hungry! I had Maruchan's "Sansai Soba" for breakfast. It's my wife's, but she probably won't be happy later (laughs). I have no plans for today, just booked a yakiniku restaurant using T-Point from Tabelog. It was introduced on the TV show "Hakken Takatoshi Land" on February 3rd. We arrived at the restaurant, which had a large parking lot, at 11:30 am. We were the first customers. The restaurant had a large interior with a choice of table or sunken kotatsu seating. We chose a table and were surprised to see tablet devices for ordering. We managed to use them easily. For lunch, I had the Hokkaido Wagyu 100% hamburger with a fried egg, and my wife had the medium fatty beef kalbi bowl with a hot spring egg. Both came with rice, miso soup, and salad. The visual presentation was not the best, but the hamburger was juicy and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. The miso soup was a bit light, and the kalbi bowl had too little sauce. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. We used Tabelog points for a higher rating. It could be a good lunch option for anyone.

"Sapporo City, Shiroishi-ku / Kikusui Motomachi Niku no Wappo Tamura" I will use the T points accumulated through the Eat Log posting to have a lunch. I'm happy because I had enough points to eat lunch. ◆Order ✔️ 3 types of Yakiniku "C" lunch set 1730 ◆Relaxing Yakiniku in a box seat for one person. - Beef tongue with green onion salt - Beef tongue tendon with special sauce - Beef tongue offal with leek miso - Salad, kimchi, grilled vegetables - Large rice and miso soup - Drink → Coffee after the meal A satisfying set with a good variety. The green onion salt was the best. It may feel a bit expensive in terms of cost performance, but it's perfect for using points. I drank coffee and left feeling satisfied and full! Thank you very much.

I visited during the daytime on a holiday and it was quite empty. The seating was in a raised tatami area, which was very calming and nice. We ordered a lunch set menu for one person, and also added various a la carte items. The drinks were a great deal at only 100 yen! The grilled beef and hormone were incredibly delicious and melted in your mouth. The rice was also endless! Just be careful not to overcook the hormone as it can melt away. The a la carte items such as the beef (half off with a coupon), cold noodles, yukgaejang soup, were all delicious. The price was similar to an all-you-can-eat yakiniku place but the quality of the meat was great. This way of ordering is definitely recommended!

I visited a yakiniku restaurant located along Miri Street in Shiraishi Ward in November 2022. This restaurant used to be near my home, so it felt nostalgic and I went with my son. The bright and well-ventilated interior of the restaurant creates a sense of openness. The grill is effective in removing smoke. The yakiniku comes with a set of Mongolian salt, lemon, and sauce for seasoning. We started with all-you-can-drink beer, which was delicious and well chilled. The white wine from the second glass was sweet. The marinated kalbi, sagari, and tongue were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the meat itself was very delicious. The beef was not too fatty and had a good aftertaste. The beef and pork offal were easy to eat with uniform thickness, and there were no unpleasant textures or fats. It was a shame that it wasn't charcoal-grilled, but being a yakiniku restaurant run by a butcher shop, we were able to enjoy high-quality domestic meat. The atmosphere of the restaurant is pleasant, and you can leisurely enjoy yakiniku.

"I said, 'Let's eat meat!' Lunch sets are available at a great deal, with options including Hokkaido beef. You can also choose beer or wine with your set, making it quite cost-effective. They also have a kids' menu! It's a family-friendly restaurant where everyone can enjoy."

I visited around 11:30 am on a weekday. Even though it was just after opening, it was already crowded. By 12 pm, it was full. A popular local spot. I ordered the "Negi Shio Mugi Buta Karubi Yakiniku Set" for 980 yen from the weekday lunch limited menu where you can choose. They offer free extra rice, so I got that too. It arrived quickly. The set included plenty of salted karubi, green onions, onions, soup, kimchi, and salad. The daikon salad was a nice touch. The kimchi was quite spicy, just right for someone who enjoys spicy food like me. The sauces included yakiniku sauce, lemon, and salt, allowing you to enjoy three different flavors. The pork karubi was tender and not too fatty, making it a perfect side dish for rice. I even managed to finish the large onion, which I usually don't like. I finished it in no time. At the time of payment, I used a coupon from Shiroishi Ward, I think? By scanning the QR code, I got 200 yen off, so it was 780 yen. They also gave me some gum as a palate cleanser, making it a satisfying lunchtime. Thank you for the meal!

Hmm, I'm not sure what it is exactly. The quality of the meat isn't that bad, but maybe the level of service is low. The heat is weak, so there's no crispy aroma, and the sauce is like steak sauce, which doesn't really go well with it. It's disappointing, especially since I had high expectations.

- This is a local chain restaurant located in Bihoro-cho, Abashiri District, with its main store. It is one of the "Yakiniku EAST Top 100 Restaurants 2021". - The prices are relatively high, leaning towards the luxury side, but the quality of the meat does not match the price. It seems like only wagyu beef is acceptable here. - The service is average, but the paper apron that you can simply hang around your neck is excellent and deserves praise! - Menu items: - Standard beef yakiniku lunch for 3,280 yen includes beef sagari, beef nakaochi kalbi, and domestic beef loin, along with rice, miso soup, salad, kimchi, and grilled vegetables. Despite being a lunch of decent quality, all the items tasted average, if not below considering the price. The meat lacked flavor and umami. The most palatable was probably the beef nakaochi kalbi marinated in sauce. - Upper beef tongue for 1,380 yen was not of "upper" quality! It was served frozen solid and lacked flavor. - Hokkaido-produced upper beef hormone for 680 yen may have been the most delicious. Perhaps it was the shimacho (stripe) part? It was quite fatty, sweet, and tasty! However, I prefer it with a bit less fat. Thank you for the meal. - Just a side note, the bill came to exactly 10,000 yen!

On a certain day in July 2022, I revisited Kikusui Motomachi-ten, a somewhat well-known yakiniku restaurant in Hokkaido with its main store in Tamura-san Bihoro, which is just a short drive from my home. This restaurant holds special memories for my family. We first visited on Children's Day in 2013 when we returned to Hokkaido from Tokyo. I also have memories of revisiting in July 2014, September 2017, and October 2017, enjoying lunch with my father-in-law. This restaurant is filled with precious memories. I suggested this restaurant for my wife's memorial dinner for these reasons. Of course, my wife agreed! For her birthday dinner, the three of us enjoyed a special meat feast to celebrate! We ordered the Yakiniku Party Plan Hana (3,000 yen) for two people. The course included homemade kimchi, beef tongue (salt) & beef tongue offal (miso), recommended marinated grilled meat, marinated domestic beef kalbi, marinated beef sagari, wheat king pork jingisukan, Bihoro-seasoned jingisukan, pork hormone, beef upper hormone, grilled vegetables & lettuce, rice balls (1 piece), and dessert. The volume was amazing. And every meat was incredibly delicious! Truly worthy of being called a meat cuisine restaurant. Our child deliberately did not choose the course, but instead ordered his favorite menu items from the Party Plan meats. We ordered the domestic chicken seseri (580 yen) for two people, extra rice (340 yen) for two people, and fluffy egg soup (600 yen). The seseri was fresh and delicious. The total came to 8,440 yen. Finally, we used a coupon from the Tabelog app and received a birthday dessert. "Wow, it's delicious!" Although it looked simple, when my wife recommended it and I took a bite to share, I was surprised by how tasty it was! It was fluffy, with a rich egg flavor. This time, we were able to celebrate my wife's birthday with heartfelt wishes on the actual day! As someone who is living away from home for work, I was most happy that I could properly show my appreciation to my wife. Thank you as always, my dear wife. And please continue to take care of me in the future!

I visited the Chikusui Motomachi branch for lunch this month. It was around 12 o'clock and the restaurant had a decent number of customers. We were seated in a tatami room and served by a new staff member who seemed to be struggling a bit. I ordered the MIX hormone yakiniku set (980 yen) with a free extra large rice, ginger ale (100 yen), wagyu shoulder kalbi (1280 yen, discounted to 640 yen with a Hot Pepper coupon), and received a complimentary yuzu sherbet as a first-time app member. My companion ordered the lunch beef tongue set. The time between ordering and receiving our food was a bit long, but the wait was worth it. The hormone turned out to be beef hormone, which was a pleasant surprise. The pieces were different sizes and cuts, but all were tender and delicious. The wagyu shoulder kalbi was served with raw egg to dip in, and tasted great with the marinade. The quality of the meat matched the price, but I imagine the premium cuts would be even better. The beef tongue had a strong flavor and was slightly frozen in the middle, but still tasty. The yuzu sherbet was refreshing with big chunks of yuzu. Overall, I felt that the service and atmosphere at the Chikusui Motomachi branch were superior to the BISSE branch in Odori. Thank you for the meal!

I had my birthday celebration here. They reserved a private room for us, which was a nice setting for entertaining. We ordered the special selection of beef and other items. I appreciated the meal, the meat was delicious, but there were some issues. The sauce was on the light side, but when I added some gochujang, it became tastier. However, I was not satisfied with the service. The staff seemed rushed and somewhat indifferent. They responded bluntly to my questions about the food. Even though it was a lunch menu, it cost over 4000 yen per meal, which is quite expensive. The atmosphere of the private room did not match the high-end dining experience. Although we were treated to a meal, I was quite disappointed with the service. The same meat tasted better at the Odori branch.

I may have never had such good meat in sukiyaki before. It's truly a "kappo" experience. I ordered the Wagyu sukiyaki set with Hokkaido Wagyu thigh meat. The Wagyu thigh meat looked high quality from the start. Once I tried it after cooking it in the broth, the tender and gentle flavor that spread in my mouth was clearly different from the supermarket thigh meat. I felt like I couldn't go back to homemade sukiyaki anymore. This is what serious sukiyaki from a butcher shop tastes like. After enjoying the meat and vegetables, I made sure to savor every drop of the broth in the zosui. The broth had a perfect balance without too much sugar, harmonizing well with the rice. The staff were friendly, truly living up to the reputation of a renowned restaurant. I would love to visit again. This might just become my favorite butcher shop. Thank you for the meal. I would definitely like to try high-quality meat for dinner next time. So delicious.

Visited on Sunday at 12:00 with a reservation for 2 people. The restaurant is located along Minami 7-jo and Yonesato-dori. We received 1000 points from a lottery on Hot Pepper Gourmet, and somehow accumulated 1700 points, so we decided to celebrate my mother's birthday in luxury! We were seated at a sunken kotatsu table where we couldn't see other customers due to partitions, but it seemed like there were a few groups dining. I confirmed if we could order items other than the staff lunch menu, as we wanted to order individual items instead of a set. The menu we ordered included: - Premium Wagyu Kalbi (2380 yen) 5 pieces. Incredibly tender and melts in your mouth! Delicious!!! - Hokkaido Premium Sagari (2290 yen) 5 pieces. Also very tender!!! - Premium Thick-cut Beef Tongue (2320 yen) thick and large! Sliced with a cut, which unfortunately diminishes the texture of the beef tongue. - Beef Mino Sandwich (680 yen) Crispy and delicious! - Top Beef Tongue (1280 yen) 5 pieces. I prefer the texture of this one, but a thicker cut would be better. - Assorted Grilled Vegetables (650 yen) Carrots, pumpkin, onions, bell peppers, shiitake mushrooms. - Rice (medium) (300 yen) Perfectly cooked. The food was very satisfying and my mother was also pleased. The quality was top-notch, but considering the price, it was expected. I wonder if I have an unsophisticated palate since I can be equally satisfied with dishes in the 1000 yen range at other restaurants. The bill came out to a little over 5000 yen per person, but with a coupon, it was reduced to around 4000 yen. Initially, I was worried that we would be charged without the coupon... My mother said she was full, but I felt satisfied at about 80% full. Next time, I'll try ordering dishes in the 1000 yen range.

I went to my favorite yakiniku restaurant, but there was a wait of over 40 minutes, so I decided to go to the nearby Tamura-san Kikusui Motomachi branch as usual. They offer a full stomach yakiniku set for 3,000 yen with a 90-minute all-you-can-drink option for 1,380 yen. It was a lucky find to enjoy a satisfying meal at a lower price!

I visited a yakiniku restaurant for the year-end party. This place serves Chateau d'Yquem, so I ordered it and it was delicious as always. In addition, I also enjoyed premium beef tongue and premium sagari meat. It was a great way to end the year, even if I temporarily forgot about my wallet (the bill was...). Thank you for the meal!

2020/12 ★ Selected Beef Yakiniku Lunch Set for 2909 yen ★ Glass of White Wine for 91 yen Yakiniku~(๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑) A yakiniku restaurant listed in the top 100 on Tabelog! They have a meat master at this yakiniku place... I didn't know such a qualification existed (ﾟДﾟ)!! The restaurant has a large parking lot and a spacious interior. The entrance area has casual table seating, while towards the back, there are regular private rooms and slightly more upscale private rooms. It was surprisingly busy during weekday lunchtime, but all seats are well separated, so it felt safe (^^)b Lunch sets are reasonably priced, starting from around a thousand yen. It's like a "year-end reward (o´艸`)" for myself as the end of the year approaches. Time for the selected yakiniku lunch! White wine ( ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ I prefer beer, but... the lunch glass of wine for 91 yen is a steal! The meat looks stunning on the black plate. They serve wagyu kalbi, Hokkaido beef top sirloin, and domestic beef loin, each with 3-4 slices. They are all tender~(๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑) Tastes great with just a bit of salt! Adding a touch of wasabi makes it even better. It would be a waste to use sauce (-д- 三 -д-) The refreshing daikon salad and kimchi, which I like pickled lightly, complement the meal. Finally, a miso soup with trefoil to cleanse the palate. It was a blissful meal (*´∀｀*) Thank you for the delicious meal! (^ω^)
