Before the coronavirus, I had been invited to this restaurant several times but couldn't make it due to timing. Finally, I was able to visit this time. Regular customers recommend the Ueno branch more than the Okachimachi branch. The restaurant is located in a mixed-use building with clubs and snacks, and the interior is clean, possibly a former club or something. In the middle of the table seating, there is a charcoal grill with a powerful exhaust fan (adjustable up and down). The exhaust fan is strong, so there is little smell in the restaurant despite it being a charcoal grill! Looking at the menu, the meat is served in chunks for 2-3 people, so we ordered an even bigger size due to the large number of people. The appetizers while waiting for the meat to cook are a must-order. The lamb meat was brought out first and it was a surprising chunk! It looks like it's over 3kg for sure. When they started grilling it, a staff member came to cut it because the chunk was too big and far from the fire, it would take forever to cook without cutting it. - Ordered Items: Lamb back grill (large for 3-4 people) 5590 yen, Whole rabbit grill (3-4 people) 5590 yen, Dried tofu salad 890 yen, Warabi flour noodle spicy dressing 1090 yen, Homemade lamb pie (1 piece) 550 yen - Taste: The lamb back grill, when cut, turned into large lamb chops, the meat was fresh with no odor, juicy, and delicious. Sprinkling the provided spices on it made it even more delicious. The whole rabbit grill had fresh meat with almost no odor, and it was delicious. The meat had a chewy texture, somewhat like chicken, with a bony feel, which can be a matter of preference. I preferred the lamb. The dried tofu salad had a delicious umami flavor and was refreshing. The Warabi flour noodle spicy dressing had chewy noodles and a delicious sweet and sour sauce, perfect for refreshing the palate. The homemade lamb pie had plenty of meat juice and spices, making it delicious. - Evaluation: The meat was fresh with no odor, juicy, and delicious, grilled in chunks. All the dishes other than the meat were also delicious. The prices were a bit high, and the wine selection was not great, which led to a deduction in the drink category. Clean interior for a charcoal grill restaurant, atmosphere +0.1. Charcoal grill specialty restaurant, overall rating +0.1.
