In Arakawa Ward, there is a famous yakiniku restaurant called "Syoutaien" with its main branch. Although I had been to their Ginza and Shibadaimon branches, I had never visited the main branch despite it being relatively close by. The exterior of the restaurant had a traditional look, but upon entering, I was surprised by how clean and modern it was inside. There were table seats and tatami seats, and when I mentioned my reservation, I was guided to a table seat. The staff, mostly young, were efficient and very nice. I made a reservation over the phone for Friday at 7 pm, and they said it was okay to come at 8:10 pm. The restaurant is located about 8-9 minutes walk from Machiya Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line and Keisei Main Line, in a residential area. I ordered a draft beer while looking at the menu and decided to go for the luxurious course (5,500 yen per person) and the second generation rare steak (spicy yangnyeom flavor) as a single item. The course order was fine as long as it was not sold out on the spot. The second generation rare steak was served first, which was like roast beef with excellent meat quality. The lineup of the luxurious course included a kimchi assortment, salad, and three appetizers. They were all delicious and served at a good pace. I also ordered the famous "lemon ball," which was a lemon sherbet chu-hi. When I finished the appetizers, a charcoal grill was set up. The salted kalbi and top tongue with salt were delicious, especially when dipped in wasabi and soy sauce. I usually prefer sauce for yakiniku, but for really delicious meat, salt alone is enough. The top tongue with salt was refreshing when eaten with lemon sauce, myoga, and pickled ginger. Next, the top loin was lightly seared and eaten wrapped in lettuce. Grilled vegetables were seasoned with spray seasoning after being taken off the skewer. The three-point offal assortment was made with elegant offal that wasn't greasy. The final grilled items were harami, nakaochi kalbi, and a bite-sized steak, allowing me to fully enjoy the delicious meat from Syoutaien. For dessert, I ordered the tegutan soup "ao," which had a base of green chili pepper and a solid seasoning but wasn't too spicy. It was filling with a lot of glass noodles. The bill came out to around 9,000 yen per person after having a bottle of makgeolli and a few chu-his. The quality was easily worth over 10,000 yen per person if it were a yakiniku restaurant in Akasaka or Roppongi, and I was extremely satisfied. I regret not coming sooner... I want to visit more frequently in the future! (゜д゜) Delicious!

I visited this amazing restaurant after 5 years and it still remains a fantastic place. They fulfill all my desires for yakiniku at a reasonable price. The items I tried this time were: - 600-day aged tongue for 3,000 yen - Limited quantity salt harami for 1,650 yen - Special tender thigh (100g) for 1,950 yen - Special top sirloin (100g) for 1,950 yen - Salt galbi for 880 yen - Wagyu tail steamed for 1,000 yen - Assorted kimchi for 890 yen - Rare steak (3rd generation drool beef) for 1,000 yen Compared to 5 years ago, the price increase for the tender thigh and top sirloin is only 170 yen, which is amazing!

A popular long-established yakiniku restaurant located about a 10-minute walk from Machiya Station! Reservations are essential. They have branches in Ginza, Toyosu, Shinbashi, Daimon, Sangenjaya, and the main store is here. I used to live in Machiya a few years ago, so I visited this place often, and the nostalgic atmosphere is irresistible! I had a beer (medium bottle), lemon sour x3, raw tongue with green onions, medium rib kalbi with sauce, seared liver, grilled skirt steak, grilled shrimp x4, and assorted kimchi. Everything I ate was incredibly delicious, the quality is high, and the prices are reasonable, which is why I love this place so much. The lemon sour made with homemade lemon sherbet was particularly enjoyable. The meat here is all excellent, so whatever you order, it will be delicious. Especially the raw tongue with green onions and grilled skirt steak are so delicious!

We made a reservation for 2 at a yakiniku restaurant at 5 pm to beat the summer heat. It was a hot day and we were sweating a lot, but surprisingly our appetite was not affected. We enjoyed a feast of various meats and side dishes along with beer and oolong tea. The meat was delicious, including top-quality kalbi, tripe, mixed offal, top sirloin, aged tongue, salted beef ribs, liver, sirloin, and thick-cut harami. We also ordered bibimbap and king's hot pot rice. Although the total bill came to around 24,000 yen for the two of us, we were completely satisfied and will definitely come back again.

Our family's go-to yakiniku restaurant for special occasions. We've only been to the main store in the townhouse, but it was amazing as always today. The quality of the meat is outstanding, and the way they prepare and season it is so diverse and skillful. From grilling to seasoning, there are plenty of delicious ideas. Even the shaved ice dessert was top-notch, making it perfect for families with children. The waitresses are friendly and attentive. We were completely satisfied today as well.

The yakiniku was so delicious and had great value for money! The meat was so tender and tasty! The drink with lemon sherbet on top, along with the lemon candy, was also delicious! Eating so much and buying souvenirs, all for just around 6000 yen per person, was such a great deal! The only downside was that it wasn't a hori-gotatsu style seating.

I have visited the Ginza branch several times, but finally made a reservation to visit this main branch, which I had never been to before. This place requires a reservation in advance. I ordered a variety of dishes and drinks, and indulged in eating and drinking. Here are some of the key points: medium rare, kalbi, yakiniku, medium rare kalbi, mixed horumon (salt), harami (salt) (sauce), seared liver, wagyu tail steamed, comtan soup, and meat rice. The seasoning of the marinade for each dish is excellent, especially the seasoning of the medium rare kalbi is amazing. You can order any part you are curious about without any problem. However, as you continue eating, you may get tired of the marinade, so I recommend trying the salt-based horumon, which is topped with green chili peppers as an accent, for a nice flavor change. The wagyu tail steamed dish is also irresistible as a snack when eaten with salt and pepper or gochujang. A must-have with the excellent marinade here is the makgeolli, which is a slightly refreshing, lightly carbonated drink that is very easy to drink. If you have room in your stomach, be sure to try the "famous meat rice." The delicious seasoning will only increase your appetite, leading to a satisfying meal. I was so satisfied that I definitely want to visit again.

Not everything is delicious, but the upper ribs and loin are very tasty. Marinated meat loses half of its deliciousness, so avoid it. The rice is not very tasty. The Ginza branch is close, but the main branch is recommended because of the cost performance. The staff is busy, so please refrain from making difficult orders. Approach with humility. Please order from the images below.

I visited the main store of Masayoshien in Machiya. You can tell it's a delicious yakiniku restaurant just by looking at the exterior. There's a delicious vibe coming from it. Reservations are a must, but if you call a couple of days in advance around 8:30 pm on weekdays, you can usually get a booking. Today, I had the following: ■What I Ate - 2nd Generation Spicy Rare Steak ¥1000 - Black Wagyu 600-hour Aged Tongue ¥3910 - Tender Chicken Thigh ¥1950 - Thick-cut Salt Harami ¥1980 - Top Sirloin ¥1850 - Salted Garlic ¥850 - Degtan Soup - Blue ¥880 - Shaved Ice (Mango Milk) ¥680 Everything was amazing. There was no disappointment. It's incredibly delicious. The quality of the meat is great, but the way they cook it is top-notch. The sauce and condiments all complement the yakiniku perfectly. I highly recommend trying the tongue and thick-cut harami. And even the shaved ice is delicious, no wonder it's so popular. This yakiniku restaurant is truly recommended. On my Instagram account with 70,000 followers, "Nonaru Danshi's Tokyo Lunch Meals," I introduce delicious food from Tokyo and various places across Japan!

I called on Thursday night as a long shot and they said Saturday at 3pm would be okay. It was early for dinner, but I decided to go. They were fully booked with reservations. The meat was definitely delicious, but the rice dish had a refreshing, Japanese-style broth flavor. The Lemon Tamago, a lemon sour drink, had a whole lemon sherbet in it and was very refreshing and tasty. The rare meat steak was also refreshing. The Kuppa had glass noodles and green chili peppers for a refreshing spiciness.

One of the top downtown areas in Tokyo, with Showa-era buildings in Machiya, narrow alleyways. This is where a long-established yakiniku restaurant, established in 1978, with branches in Ginza, Shinbashi, and Shibaura, is located. Despite being quite far from Machiya Station, it is always fully booked. On a holiday, I called before 7 pm and surprisingly got a reservation for 8:10 pm on the same day. Lucky me! The second-generation president, Mr. Kim Il-Su, learned cooking at a cooking school and trained at sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, and steak houses before taking over the family business. With such experience, he approaches sourcing, preparation, and menu creation with unique ideas not found in typical yakiniku restaurants. At one point, they even offered sashimi on the menu. They aim to be the most enjoyable and delicious yakiniku restaurant in Japan, according to word of mouth. The exterior retains the look of the establishment's founding, while the interior surprises with a mix of the atmosphere of a yakiniku restaurant in a shopping district and a touch of luxury. The staff is mostly young and energetic. The menu has a traditional focus on cuts of meat, although there are some eye-catching items that I have never seen before. I ordered the yakiniku set (featuring suki, top sirloin, thick-cut harami, premium tongue with salt, and seared liver) and cold noodles. In recent years, there have been more restaurants selling meat by specific cuts, but this place sticks to traditional cuts. The flavors of the meat were so delicious that I found myself shaking with joy. It was so good that my nose even started bleeding for some reason. Whether it's due to differences in sourcing, preparation, or simply a difference in quality, the premium meat and beer were worth every penny. I may have had a bit too much to drink, as I ended up switching to a lemon ball, a unique drink with lemon sherbet floating in a chu-hi. It's an old yet new kind of drink. The meat was top-notch, so I wouldn't call it budget-friendly, but it was definitely worth the price. I will definitely be back to try the aged tongue and tender thigh, which were unfortunately sold out this time.

I feel like the spread of Masatakaen to Toyosu and Sangenjaya is a bit too much. However, when I come to the main store, I still think Masatakaen is the best. The atmosphere with years of history. There are many famous horumon (offal) restaurants in the Arakawa area, but Masatakaen excels in high-quality meat. The kalbi, loin, and other premium cuts of meat are just delicious. The horumon dishes are a bit underwhelming. In the course menu, there are too many vegetables. It's healthy, but when I go to a yakiniku restaurant, that's not really my goal. This time, we ordered a course for three people, but next time, I will definitely go for a la carte and indulge in premium cuts of meat. Thank you for the meal.

The tongue, rare steak, harami, and kalbi were amazing. The meat wasn't too fatty and I could eat as much as I wanted. I usually get tired of yakiniku halfway through, but that didn't happen at all. I had to finish the meat on my plate before they brought the next one! (Maybe because it was full?) I know you're supposed to eat the tongue without sauce on the grill, but I wish I could have alternated between harami and kalbi! The cold noodles were quite light! They come with water kimchi and vinegar, but I found the water kimchi lacking, so I added a lot of kimchi and vinegar that I had ordered separately. It refreshed me after the greasiness of the meat. I want to eat tongue, harami, and rare steak again.

No matter how many times I go, this restaurant is always the best! The food is so delicious that I want to eat it every day! You must order the sukiyaki! The harami with grated yam is still amazing as always! I also love the tongue! The finale of the meal with the beef soup is unbeatable! This is a highly recommended restaurant that you must visit!

I was able to get a reservation the day before, so I visited this restaurant. I had been there a few times before, but this time it was amazing. The joy of wrapping meat quickly with green onions, dipping it in egg, and eating it... The satisfaction of the sirloin nigiri, the high quality of the harami, everything was excellent. And the cost performance is great. It's not easy to find meat of this quality at this price! Reservations are surprisingly easy to make, so if you feel like eating there, don't give up and call right away!

It was so delicious. I went with someone who had worked here for a long time, so we didn't make any mistakes in ordering. I want to go again. Lately, all the yakiniku restaurants are delicious, but it's nice to go to a place like this that stands out.

Visited with 6 friends at night. Ate kimchi, shrimp and quail eggs, beef tripe, premium tongue, premium loin, sukiyaki-style with yam sauce, 2 types of soup, stone bibimbap, and more. Everything we ate was delicious. We drank beer, lemon sour, shochu highball with lemon, white wine, red wine, and oolong tea. It was a fantastic night of eating and drinking. Thank you for the wonderful meal. We will definitely come back again.

I made a reservation for Saturday at 7:10 PM. I heard that the cost performance was excellent, but it exceeded my expectations by far. The taste of the tongue may vary from person to person, but the tongue here was satisfying for everyone who tried it. Eating it sukiyaki style with rice is a must. I felt so happy eating the meat with grated yam rice. It was a restaurant that made me want to go again. Thank you for the meal!!!

The main store of Machiya is truly unique, with a nostalgic atmosphere dating back to its founding in 1978. Despite its old-fashioned appearance, the quality of the meat served here is exceptional. As part of a renowned group with several locations in Tokyo, it is a top-notch restaurant. Having visited many times, I may have lost the initial sense of awe and surprise, but one thing remains certain - everything is delicious! Just order anything and it will be delicious. I always forget to take photos, but the mango pudding is a dessert in a league of its own. I have visited about 20 times.

I had heard rumors about it being delicious. So, I decided to make a reservation on the day I happened to be nearby. Since I booked an early time, I was able to secure a reservation. The restaurant was packed with customers. Overall, the food was good, not exceptional. What left an impression on me was the contrast between the exterior and interior. It had a sophisticated feel to it.

I made a reservation around 5 o'clock, and at that time the restaurant was almost full and bustling. The meat was very delicious! Since there is a lot of fat in the meat, it's better to consider the menu when ordering. The restaurant is also a little far from the station, so it's good to go with some extra time!
