Salt Genghis Khan! The best! I visited the restaurant in Susukino, not the Maruyama branch as seen in "The Lonely Gourmet." The friendly staff provided excellent service, and I couldn't help but enjoy some drinks. The vegetables and meat, from the appetizers to the main course, were truly delicious. However, please note that smoking is allowed in the restaurant.

I was invited to go to a yakiniku restaurant and visited. We took off our shoes and entered the restaurant. We started with a toast of oolong highball. We had grilled shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, and bell peppers as a starter. The thick bell peppers were delicious. We had salted lamb, premium hormone, and wagyu skirt steak, all of which were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the premium hormone and ended up ordering more. The spicy pickled vegetables were also tasty. (March 2023)

I went to a restaurant that was featured in "The Lonely Gourmet" because the main branch was too far, but there was a branch near my hotel so I decided to give it a try. The owner is shy, so it's necessary to make a reservation in advance. There were complaints about numb feet or uncomfortable posture, so they changed from traditional seating to table seating. Ordered: - Appetizer (shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers) - Salted lamb BBQ 960 yen - Premium beef intestine 590 yen - Maruchou (beef belly) 850 yen - Salted skirt steak 1,350 yen - Premium Japanese beef skirt steak 1,350 yen - Beef tenderloin 2,700 yen - Beef and fatty tuna rice with egg yolk 680 yen Items of interest: - Beef stew 1,150 yen - Super loin 4,378 yen (Apparently, the portion is quite large so it's better to order it first). I was surprised that the appetizer included bell peppers, shrimp, and shiitake mushrooms. All the meats were well-prepared without any smell or blood, allowing you to savor the flavor. The salted lamb BBQ was light and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

This is not Susukino, but Asazuna in Maruyama. I couldn't transfer the attachment. I don't have the energy to rewrite it, so I made a reservation and visited. It's quite a hidden gem of a restaurant and not easy to find. Enjoy the process of searching for the restaurant. Take off your shoes at the entrance and put them in the shoebox on the second floor. The appetizer was delicious shiitake mushrooms and prawns, both very tasty. The prawns were so good that I even ate the heads. The Genghis Khan dish was exceptional, it had been a while since I had it. The salt sauce wasn't really to my taste, it felt like something was missing. I think a stronger seasoning would have been better, with a hint of the Genghis Khan aroma. I enjoyed the crispy and tender texture of the meat. The thick beef tongue had a satisfying chewiness, a must-try for beef tongue lovers. I wish I had added more salt though. The lemon juice from Pokka was delicious, but I preferred the salt with mountain wasabi. Both the sauce and the green onions were delicious, my companion praised them highly. I forgot to take a picture of the beef tongue rice, it's rare to find it outside of Tokachi. I was so happy. I would be even happier if they added more flakes.

During my trip to Hokkaido, I watched the New Year's Eve special of "Kodoku no Gurume" on TVer. The show featured Hokkaido, and they mentioned a restaurant that seemed interesting, so I decided to visit it.

A hidden gem. The salted Genghis Khan dish is so refreshing, I could eat it endlessly. Definitely a restaurant I want to visit again.

This is a quite small shop that only those in the know are aware of. It is a place where you choose based on taste rather than waiting in line at a famous spot. It may not be the kind of place where you take photos or that kind of atmosphere.
