It is indeed a hidden gem of a restaurant with no sign, so you wouldn't know it's there unless you stumble upon it. I had the daily special for lunch, which turned out to be omurice. The portion size was satisfying with spaghetti on the side, but the taste of the omurice was homely.

JR Enmachi Station is just a short walk away from this restaurant. Although there seems to be a parking lot, I couldn't find it. The restaurant is located in a quiet spot off the main street, with a cozy interior resembling a cafe. Each table has an embedded iron plate grill, making it clear that this is a yakiniku restaurant. I ordered the steak set for 1300 yen including tax. There was also a large size set for 1800 yen including tax, but I thought 1800 yen for lunch might be a bit high, so I chose the former. Along with the steak, the set includes rice, miso soup, and salad. After placing my order, I could hear the sound of meat being grilled in the kitchen. Soon, my dish arrived. The medium-cooked steak was lean, flavorful, and not too tough. The portion size was decent as well. I was impressed with the quality of the meal at this price point. When I asked the owner during payment, she mentioned that they use Japanese beef and are trying their best despite rising costs. Considering the use of domestic beef at this price, it's quite a bargain. I left the restaurant satisfied and would definitely like to visit again.

The sign is on the main street, but the restaurant is quite hard to find in a narrow alley or behind residential houses. I ordered the steak set for 1300 yen. The menu says it's reasonable and generous in portion, but I didn't get that impression. The amount of rice is large. The meat served on a hot iron plate is okay. Be careful as oil splatters.

We ordered a steak lunch! I got 150g and my girlfriend got 100g. The meat was tender and the portion was generous. They also gave us extra rice. It felt luxurious to have delicious, tender meat for lunch. The restaurant is a bit hidden from Enmachi, so it's quiet and perfect!

I had been curious about this restaurant for a while. My girlfriend and I both wanted to eat meat for lunch, so we decided to go together. I remembered there was a steak bowl restaurant near Enmachi Station, so we went there. We ordered a steak bowl and a steak set meal, and asked for extra rice. The salad and miso soup were delicious too! The meat was tender and had a great flavor, it was amazing!

I walked 10 minutes from home and visited for the first time. I ordered steak for lunch. The meat was tender and very delicious. Considering the price, I thought it was quite a good deal. It's close to my house, so I will definitely go again.

Steak set - 150g at a great price for lunch menu. The meat was tender and the rice was delicious. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was quiet and had a hidden gem feel.

"Wait a minute, please!" It was just past 1 pm, and the restaurant was about 80% full. The owner seemed a bit flustered, running around trying to take orders. But strangely, there was a sense of humor in the busyness. When a young woman in a group was too engrossed in her phone and neglected to pay, the owner jokingly said, "Hey miss, this isn't the time to be on the phone! Hurry up, hurry up (laughs)." When refilling tea at a table, if some spilled, he would say, "Oops, sorry about that. Can someone get a tissue?" The customers chuckled. He may talk tough, but he is not really mean at heart. A lovable character. The steak set (150g) is ¥1,500, with lean red meat that is tender and not too fatty. The demiglace sauce is mild, allowing the flavor of the meat to shine. The salad with French dressing is generous, and the sunny-side-up egg is perfectly runny. I ordered a regular portion of rice, which was quite filling. Other sides include miso soup and pickles. Overall, a satisfying meal. One thing to note is that the restaurant is quite cold even in winter, so it's advisable to bring a thick coat. I can only imagine how hot it must get in the summer.

On the final day of the long weekend, I searched for a yakiniku lunch on Tabelog and decided to visit a place called Kinryu that seemed conveniently close. Reviews mentioned that it was a bit hard to find, but the fresh meat looked good in the pictures. I managed to locate the restaurant easily, just south of the Kasugamaru-taicho intersection, up a few steps. The interior had a nostalgic coffee shop vibe, with a sunny terrace area as well. The menu offered steak sets, bulgogi sets, kalbi kukpa sets, bibimbap sets, and daily specials. I ordered the steak set, and when it arrived, I got grilled steak, rice, miso soup, fried egg, and salad. The steak was a bit thin, but tasted delicious. For 900 yen, I was very satisfied. At the register, I noticed stickers with individual identification numbers for the cows, indicating they were from Tanba and Ichibo. I plan to try their yakiniku at night next time.

Yesterday, I happened to see a sign that said "Lunch is available." I wondered which restaurant it was, so I looked around and found out that it was located at the back of a flower shop (Green Shop AOKI) at the southeast corner of the Kasugamaru-taicho intersection. It was a place that could easily be missed if you didn't actively search for it. Even though I had passed by this road many times before, I had never noticed its existence! Since I had already finished lunch that day, I decided to come back the next day (which is today). So today, I arrived before 1 pm and ordered the "Steak Set Large (\1,000)" from the lunch menu. The interior of the restaurant had a cozy mountain lodge-like atmosphere with a part of the roof made of glass, allowing sunlight to shine through, creating a bright and open space. I was impressed by the fact that such a restaurant existed in such a place. When the steak set arrived, it looked delicious with beefsteak, fried egg, and salad on the plate. As for the taste of the meat, at first, I thought the steak sauce was delicious, but the meat itself was also tasty. The portion was generous, and I wondered if I could finish it all, but I managed to eat everything and felt full! The combination of the fullness, taste, and price was definitely worth it! There are many delicious restaurants around Enmachi, I realized once again. Finally, regarding the service rating of 2.5 stars, the service was fine, but the main issue was that the inside of the restaurant was too cold! It was as cold as outside, and I couldn't take off my coat to eat comfortably. None of the other customers took off their outerwear either, so I believe everyone felt the same way. I wish they had noticed the temperature and raised it inside the restaurant. That was disappointing. But overall, I was satisfied with the food!

This restaurant has been around for a long time and has been renovated several times. It is located next to a flower shop on Marutamachi Street, a little way back. The exterior looks stylish like a restaurant. Inside, it is spacious with a large table that can seat about 10 people and private rooms as well. The food is top-notch, with generous portions of high-quality meat that would usually be considered "premium" at other restaurants being served as regular "roast" or "kalbi". The portion sizes are quite large, so the prices are reasonable. Additionally, the salads, soups, and other side dishes were incredibly delicious.

I entered the restaurant after 1 pm, but there were no customers and no welcoming atmosphere. No one greeted me with "irasshaimase." I ordered a steak set meal for 1000 yen. The meat was thin and the sauce was very strong in flavor. Exactly at 2 pm, the lights in the customer seating area were turned off, so I left feeling the negative vibes.
