I contacted the main store and they said they were full, so I made a reservation at this restaurant without checking the information properly. I was surprised to find out that it was an all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink place. Even though I was full, I couldn't resist ordering something I wanted to eat. I ate to my heart's content and had a great meal. Thank you very much!

The price has gone up since my last visit. The all-you-can-eat with soft drinks included went from 3000 yen to 3300 yen. That's only a 300 yen increase, impressive effort from the company! I ordered pork tongue and sagari. The first set that came out was shown in the photo. As expected from Ajikoen, they really know what they're doing! They first bring out the tongue and rice. Even though the sagari must have also gone up in price, to be able to serve this quality of meat in an all-you-can-eat setting is quite something. Ajikoen's hormone meat surprisingly has a strong smell. A bit of a hormone smell? I think the processing is better at Yamada Hormone behind the Doshin main store in Sapporo. Even if you go alone, they will assign you to a 4-person table, so you can eat calmly. Surprisingly, there are also people eating alone at the all-you-can-eat barbecue, so feel free to go and try it out.

I have used it several times, but for some reason I forgot to write about it. "Ajikan" is a buffet restaurant specializing in all-you-can-eat yakiniku operated by the Sakaguchi Group, which has several stores in the Sapporo area as well as in the city. This day was a long-awaited all-you-can-eat yakiniku~! Yeah, let's go~! So, when it comes to yakiniku, it's beer beer~! So we ordered the all-you-can-eat and drink option for 4200 yen. Orders are placed through a touch panel on the table. The meats are brought to us one after another without much wait. Beef kalbi, beef sagari, beef tongue, Genghis Khan, horumon, seafood grill, cold noodles, soft serve ice cream... etc. We seriously ate a lot. And then, we had beer, highball, lemon sour. We grilled, ate, drank, and were busy. It was delicious to have yakiniku after a long time.

▼Location▼ Located near the intersection of North 5th Street and West 2-3 Streets along Ginza Avenue. ▼About the Restaurant▼ A popular yakiniku chain brand operated by Sakaguchi Seiniku-ten, a meat shop in Kitami. They have multiple branches in Kitami and Sapporo, with other related restaurants such as Nagomi-ya, Toriwaka, and Ousama no Daidokoro. The Ginza branch specifically offers only all-you-can-eat courses. ▼Menu▼ They offer only charcoal-grilled yakiniku all-you-can-eat courses. ▼What We Had▼ ▽Charcoal-Grilled Yakiniku All-You-Can-Eat for 2800 yen▽ (March 2022) They offer around 150 menu items for all-you-can-eat, mainly focusing on cuts like kalbi and sagari. The meat, especially the nakaochi kalbi, had a good texture and flavor. The beef sagari was also simple and delicious. Overall, the dishes had a typical taste you would expect from this type of restaurant, with most items being above average. ▼Impressions▼ (March 2022) This yakiniku chain is operated by Sakaguchi Seiniku-ten, a major meat shop based in Kitami. Leveraging their expertise in meat wholesale, they have expanded to operate 10 stores mainly in Kitami and Sapporo, including Nagomi-ya, Toriwaka, and Ousama no Daidokoro under the same Sakaguchi Seiniku-ten group. I used to frequent the Sakaguchi Seiniku-ten branch in Eimachi in Kitami, but this was my first time at the Ginza branch. The Ginza branch specifically offers only charcoal-grilled yakiniku all-you-can-eat courses. The quality of the food was surprisingly good for an all-you-can-eat place. I would like to visit the Eimachi branch again if I have the chance.

I went to the Gourmet En Ginza store in Kitami for the first time in a while and had their all-you-can-eat and drink yakiniku! The new addition to the menu, the lean sagari beef, was delicious! It's recommended even for women on a diet. The price went up to 2800 yen for the all-you-can-eat course with soft drink all-you-can-drink due to supply reasons, but I guess it can't be helped... It's better than compromising on the quality of the meat. The staff are always efficient and you can feel the good training they receive. The seafood grilled dishes are also enjoyable, so as a fan of shrimp grilling, this place is one of my top favorites. However, it's disappointing that they still haven't introduced electronic money payments like in other restaurants owned by the Life Corporation group, such as Tanjiro, Tonkyu, and Kimoto. Since last year, I've been trying to avoid touching coins that may have bacteria or the coronavirus, so I prefer going to places that accept electronic money for shopping and dining. Last year, I went to Tanjiro, Tonkyu, and Kimoto for all-you-can-eat yakiniku because they accepted smartphone payments, which is why I haven't been to Gourmet En much. I wanted to go back if they introduced electronic money payments, but they still haven't even introduced Rakuten Edy or PayPay, so it's hard to become a repeat customer. I want to go back for the delicious yakiniku, but I hesitate because of the lack of electronic money payments. I hope they introduce electronic money payments soon so I can enjoy their charcoal-grilled yakiniku again.

I want to eat some decent yakiniku... so I went to Ajikoen Ginza branch. It's not in Ginza, Tokyo, though. They offer all-you-can-eat with soft drinks included for 2,800 yen. I ordered Hokkaido lean sagari, pork tongue, Genghis Khan, chuck rib, and salted hormone. The lean sagari was a bit tough, but it's good for those who like lean meat. It has a juicy, meaty flavor. The pork tongue is thinly sliced and tastes amazing when wrapped with green onions. Genghis Khan is heavily seasoned and goes well with rice. The chuck rib is okay, not too tender but easy to eat with the finely cut slices. The salted hormone is delicious! Tender, juicy, and no unpleasant smell. I'm not a big fan of hormones, but I had it twice. The selection of soft drinks is good, with options like ginger ale and Mountain Dew. They have a good sense of variety. Even if you're dining alone, they will seat you at the side if you make a reservation, and they don't make a big deal out of it. It's true that they welcome solo diners as they post on Instagram. I recommend making a reservation if you're dining alone. The quality of meat they offer at this price for all-you-can-eat is impressive. They really show their expertise as a major chain.

In Kitami, I had lunch at a restaurant that is usually not open for lunch but is now due to the state of emergency. I feel for the people in the food industry who are going through a tough time. I can only do my part by eating and supporting them. This time, I went to the Ginzaten branch of a restaurant called "Kokaku-en" that I have never been to before. They offer a lunch buffet for 2000 yen and set meals for 1000 yen, which is very reasonable. The ventilation and COVID-19 measures inside the restaurant were perfect. I liked that they use charcoal for cooking. It's also easy for a solo diner to feel comfortable dining here. I ordered the Hokkaido Sagari set meal and added a side of Kalbi and Hormone. The Sagari was already seasoned and quite filling at 200 grams. The Kalbi seemed to be frozen. At this price, I guess it's not worth worrying about the quality of the meat. But when you wrap the Kalbi in rice, it tastes really good. The Hormone had a delicious taste that lived up to expectations. I could easily eat two bowls of rice with just the Hormone. The total cost was 1550 yen. It's really affordable. I left the restaurant feeling full and satisfied.

Dinner on October 2020 was at "Ajikoen Ginza", an all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurant. The restaurant is operated by Life Corporation, whose parent company is Sakaguchi Meats, a symbol of Kitami yakiniku that is more familiar to Kitami residents. The "Ajikoen" brand has expanded to Kitami and even Sapporo. The visited restaurant specializes in all-you-can-eat yakiniku within the brand. With reasonable prices, families and younger customers like students filled the lively restaurant. It had been years since I last went to an all-you-can-eat yakiniku. Despite the meat being foreign or lower grade, the seasoning made up for it. As a result, I overate without realizing. If you are looking for quality meat, it might be better to go to the main store of "Ajikoen", but for around 2,000 yen per person, it was a great deal to enjoy yakiniku. Even though Kitami yakiniku is reasonable, you won't get full for 2,000 yen.

Today I went to an all-you-can-eat restaurant with my boss's money, it was amazing! When I travel to Kitami, it's always a must to go for yakiniku. Yakiniku is just so good, I love it all (except for liver..). All-you-can-eat is the best because there's so much variety, even ice cream! So good!

- All-you-can-eat yakiniku course for 2600 yen ★★★☆ [Product information / Retty Akiko Niwa review] * I had a great time with the all-you-can-eat and drink course! The meat was tender and very delicious. Especially the misuji was delicious♪ The nakaochi kalbi was also amazing!

The "Kitami Meet Coupon" targets those who stayed in Kitami. The participating restaurant, Ajikaku Ginza, offers all-you-can-eat and drink for 2000 yen (limited selection), with the option to add beer for an additional 500 yen. They also offer a special night plan starting earlier than 9:00 PM, where you can enjoy a serving of kalbi and sagari. It's a great deal and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I attended a gathering and used the food and drink course for 3,500 yen. The cost performance was unbelievable. The variety of grilled meat, drinks, speed of service, and the glass replacement system were all top-notch! They also have a great selection of rice dishes, noodles, and ice cream. The beef tendon curry was delicious! The only downside was that I ate too much and couldn't go to the next restaurant (laughs). I will definitely visit again.

Visit date May 29th (Wednesday) Business trip to Kitami! I visited the on-site office in Kitami and returned to the hotel after 8 pm! While talking with my companion about how we enjoyed the yakiniku we had last year, they suggested going there tonight. They made a reservation at Ajikoen. We arrived at 8:30 pm and found the place packed. We opted for the all-you-can-eat and drink option. As today is Meat (Niku) Day, they served us sirloin steak as the appetizer. It was a pleasant surprise! The night in Kitami started with a feast of yakiniku. It was delicious!

It's not at the level of all-you-can-eat! The best yakiniku in Kitami! I have visited several times and every time I go, I realize that it's not your average all-you-can-eat quality, but rather high-quality yakiniku. The sagari, kalbi, gyutan, and horumon are all top-notch, and I visit every time I go to Kitami.

A famous yakiniku restaurant in Kitami, known for its local meat but considered quite ordinary. It's okay to eat there occasionally, but for those who eat out frequently, it might be tough even once a month. In a yakiniku town like Kitami, it feels like some change is needed. They offer all-you-can-eat options, so if you prioritize cost over taste, it might be a good choice.

The menu has changed a bit since I last visited in January. The lean sagari is no longer available, and there are now several varieties of seasoned domestic sagari, such as soy sauce and miso flavors. They were tender and delicious, but seasoned meat tends to burn easily on the charcoal grill, so I prefer ordering unseasoned meats like sagari, pork belly, and pork tongue. For cheap all-you-can-eat yakiniku, I don't mind if they use imported meat instead of domestic. I like misuji, but I don't order it much here because thinly sliced meat tends to stick to the grill and is difficult to cook. If they cut the misuji a bit thicker, I would consider ordering it. I prefer the misuji at Tonkatsu because it is thick enough to cook easily. I collect points for eating out, so I wish they would introduce electronic money or PayPay! If I could earn points through smartphone payments, I would visit more often, but this restaurant only accepts cash or credit card payments, so I tend to go to other places that accept smartphone payments.

It had been a while since I had yakiniku, but the side dishes were also great, so I was satisfied! The restaurant was clean and I was able to eat calmly!

I think it was limited to after 21:00? Being able to enjoy all-you-can-eat and drink even when dining alone makes me happy!

When it comes to Kitami City, it is famous for yakiniku. Here, we had all-you-can-eat yakiniku until we were full.
