I visited "Akasaka Yakiniku KINTAN" with a friend for a business meeting. Although I had been to the branches in Harajuku and Roppongi before, it was my first time in Akasaka and I was looking forward to it. My friend made a reservation for us, so I'm not sure how difficult it is to get a reservation, but we were seated at the counter for two people at an early hour, so it must be quite popular even on a Tuesday. We ordered a lot of food, but among them: - Yuke KINTAN: This is a must-try! This time we ordered the one with truffle and caviar on top, and it was amazing. You can really taste the natural sweetness of the meat! And the combination with caviar and truffle is perfect. - Tongue Grade: The high-grade one we ordered had a huge impact in terms of appearance! It's long... The texture when it's cooked and rolled up for eating is excellent and addictive! The taste and tenderness are also exquisite. - Meat Sushi: This dish also comes with luxurious caviar and sea urchin. The taste is outstanding. Personally, I prefer it slightly seared, but even without being seared, the sweetness stood out. The other dishes were also very delicious. It was fun to talk to the staff and watch the cooking process right in front of us at the counter! The interior was stylish (KINTAN is always stylish!) and I saw someone celebrating their birthday with a cake made of meat, so I might try that next time! I will definitely come back! Thank you for the meal!

Before visiting Akasaka Rikyu, we decided to have lunch. A few months ago, my sister and I went to KINTAN in Azabu-Juban and we really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and hospitality there, so I suggested to my husband that we try the Akasaka branch. The restaurant looked new and stylish, with a clean and trendy vibe. We both ordered the Casual Yakiniku Set for ¥1,980 from the extensive menu. It's worth noting that on weekends they operate on a one drink order per person system. We were served a delicious and hearty egg soup and a vegetable salad to start, which we quickly devoured. Then, the meat and rice arrived. The staff kindly explained the different cuts of meat and recommended ways to enjoy them. They also offered us seconds of the salad and soup (for free), which we gladly accepted. The meat included: - Aged KINTAN Tongue: thick and tender - Tongue Base: chewy and satisfying - Sendai Beef Kalbi: melts in your mouth - KINTAN Sirloin: lean and tasty - KINTAN Salt Harami: recommended with the green onion salt sauce The meat portions were generous and we felt it was great value for money. The free-flow rice can be chosen between white rice and 16-grain rice, with the latter being particularly delicious and recommended. My husband opted for seconds of the white rice. For dessert, we had the Vanilla Panna Cotta with berry sauce and whipped cream, which was delightful. Just like the Azabu-Juban branch, the staff were attentive, offering us water without us having to ask and checking if we wanted more. The service was efficient and well-coordinated, with no unnecessary chatter, which we appreciated. They even showed us to the restroom after we finished our meal. Overall, it was a pleasant and satisfying lunch experience.

The main raw meat that came out first was very delicious. The amount of rice in the set was generous. The meat was tasty, but towards the end, heavier items like kalbi came out, which made it a bit overwhelming. Also, it was a bit disappointing that there was no initial greeting or offer of anything other than water until we initiated contact. The restaurant wasn't even that busy...

Despite the continuing heat, I visited this restaurant for the first time since before the pandemic! Normally, I don't like yukhoe or meat sushi, but I'm okay with them here. The red and pink visuals are stunning and get me excited. The restaurant has a concept different from Korean restaurants, focusing more on yakiniku, so they don't serve makgeolli (Korean rice wine). I opted for red wine instead. The staff's explanations about the meat and how to cook it were enjoyable. Hida beef is definitely the best. Unfortunately, the naengmyeon (cold noodles) I ordered took a long time to come out, and the kitchen was busy, so I had to cancel it in the end.

I used to visit the Ebisu branch and had a great experience, so I decided to come here for my boyfriend's birthday celebration. We reserved the 6500 yen course, and since my partner wanted to eat rice while having meat, we added an extra order of rice. For the finale of the course, we upgraded the one-bite curry to a foie gras bibimbap for an additional fee! The course also came with all-you-can-drink, and we left feeling very satisfied and full. The dessert plate, which was offered for an additional 1000 yen, had several types of cakes and was very luxurious. My boyfriend was delighted, and I was also happy. Thank you for a wonderful time.

I couldn't forget the yukke I had at Kanetsu in Akasaka, so this time I visited Akasaka KINTAN. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice and the staff were lovely with smiles. However, the yukke was a bit bland and I had to dip it in the sauce on the table to make it tastier. I hope they can improve it a bit more. I look forward to trying out other KINTAN restaurants in the future.

I went to the Akasaka branch for lunch on the weekend for the first time. It's a one-drink order system, and I recommend the Sendai beef set and half portion of yukhoe. Even though this place is known for its tongue, I'm not a big fan of it, so it was a bit of a dilemma. The food was delicious though. You can get seconds of rice, salad, and soup, and the staff are very attentive, asking if you'd like more. I've only had yukhoe at night before, so the half portion was just right! Both the green onion salt and sweet sauce are delicious. In fact, the combination of both flavors is great. Yukhoe goes well with rice too. The Akasaka branch is spacious and I really like it.

I visited the restaurant "赤坂焼肉 KINTAN" with a rating of 3.48 on Tabelog. The location is in Akasaka Mitsuke, along Akasaka Misuji Street, with a ground floor entrance that leads to the basement where the restaurant is located. The interior is surprisingly spacious with a large number of seats. The restaurant is part of a group with multiple locations. I visited for lunch and ordered the Japanese beef hormone yakiniku set, which included salt-grilled hormone, miso sauce hormone, rice, salad, soup, kimchi, Korean seaweed, and garlic chives. The lunch course was well-balanced and delicious, with a variety of options to choose from. It would be great to have this restaurant nearby for future visits. They also offer popular items like Wagyu sushi and sirloin yukhoe for lunch. Overall, it's a great restaurant that makes you want to revisit for dinner.

When you want to eat delicious meat, this restaurant is convenient with private rooms (seating about 8 people). The meat is delicious, and the appetizers in the course menu are also tasty. There are surprisingly many rice dishes served, so I ended up extremely full. The Yukhoe was very good, so I would like to repeat it again. The convenient location that can also be used for entertaining is attractive.

The quality of the meat is decent, but there is nothing particularly outstanding compared to other yakiniku restaurants. It cost a little over 10,000 yen per person, but if you're going to spend that much, there are plenty of other places where you would be more satisfied. Overall, it's a forgettable restaurant experience.

I can't forget the delicious roast beef cooked at KINTAN, topped with truffle, fluffy eggs, and yakiniku sauce! The bibimbap was surprisingly good value, so I ended up trying two types. The cholegi had a strong leafy taste.

I visited for lunch. We reserved a private room for a large group, and even though we were short on time, the staff efficiently provided service and were very pleasant. The dinner prices are not something I would usually spend, so I opted for a luxurious lunch instead. The meal comes with salad, soup, and ice cream. The consistent deliciousness made me feel truly happy.

A 5-minute walk from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, I visited a yakiniku restaurant for lunch on a weekday. I didn't have a reservation, but I was able to get a table easily, which was great. Going down to the basement and entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a chic and stylish atmosphere. There were plenty of table seats arranged with spaciousness, creating an open feel. The lunch menu was quite extensive, all priced at over 1300 yen, but definitely worth it for the generous portion sizes and deliciousness. The set includes salad, soup, rice, and dessert. It was nice that salad, soup, and rice were free for refills. For the main course, I chose the Beef Tongue and KINTAN set. Priced at 1980 yen, it came with a large beef tongue, as well as kalbi, pork, chicken, and other varieties. The taste was also delicious. With excellent cost performance and a stylish atmosphere, I think it's perfect for a lunch in Akasaka. Thank you for the meal.

The lunch course was a great deal, and as always, the atmosphere of the restaurant was wonderful. However, I was disappointed that my reservation for a plate was not recorded. Nevertheless, the food was delicious, so I will definitely use this restaurant again. You can choose between apple sauce or soy sauce for the salad, and between white rice or multigrain rice for a healthy option. Plus, you can have seconds, which is great for hungry men. It's not only good for dates, but also convenient for family outings.

During lunchtime on the 29th, I realized it had to be meat! So I decided to go to a yakiniku restaurant in Akasaka Mitsuke. When you go down the stairs to the basement where there used to be an Akasaka bar, you'll find a very calm and relaxing atmosphere where you can enjoy yakiniku leisurely. There were some affordable lunch menu options, but I opted for a slightly luxurious set in celebration of their anniversary. You can choose between white rice and sixteen-grain rice, and you can also get refills of soup. The meat was delicious, especially the grilled shabu-shabu which was incredibly tender. The tongue was also very tasty. I would like to visit again on a day when I feel like having a luxurious lunch. Thank you for the meal.

This is my second visit to Akasaka KINTAN. There were a few issues with the number of dishes served, but the staff were friendly and it's a great place to enjoy delicious and reasonably priced meat. I forgot to take photos, but the pork loin I had today was really tasty!

KINTAN, a yakiniku chain expanding in the heart of the city. I originally planned to visit "Yasaimura Daichi" in Akasaka, but it seemed like their lunch service had ended, so I ended up here instead. Upon entering, I was seated at the counter facing the open kitchen. There, I saw large chunks of meat being prepared, which I found impressive, but if you're not a fan, it's best to let the staff know early on to change seats. Each KINTAN branch seems to have its own unique lunch menu, and this week at the Akasaka branch, I chose the "All-You-Can-Eat Curry Lunch Set" (1,480 yen). I confirmed with the staff that the amount of meat for this set was 150g compared to the 160g in the regular KINTAN Yakiniku Set (1,380 yen), meaning you pay 100 yen for 10g of meat and unlimited curry. I also upgraded my salad to a Caesar salad using a coupon from the restaurant's app. After ordering, the yakiniku, curry, rice, soup, kimchi, and namul were served within 5 minutes. At this point, for a 1,500 yen lunch, it was already exceeding expectations, and with the Caesar salad and dessert included, it was a great deal. Now onto the yakiniku. The meat was already marinated, so it was flavorful. The grill was set to low heat, but the surface quickly charred, so it's best to cook it quickly. The beef tongue was thin but had a nice chewiness, giving a great beef tongue experience (for those not used to eating beef tongue at yakiniku restaurants). The kalbi was also thin but had a good amount of fat, resulting in a juicy and delicious flavor when grilled to perfection. The Platinum Pork and Seiryu Chicken were also tasty. Next was the all-you-can-eat curry. It was Green Thai Curry and was spicier than expected, making it enjoyable with the rice. I ended up getting seconds of both the rice and curry. The soup was a Korean jjigae, also with a spicy kick. It was full of ingredients and paired well with the curry. Just then, the upgraded Caesar salad arrived. It was fresh and well-dressed with Caesar dressing. It was a generous portion for 2-3 people, and although the staff kindly offered a regular salad refill, I had to decline due to being full. For dessert, there was strawberry panna cotta, with a simple and enjoyable strawberry milk-like flavor that helped cleanse the palate after the spiciness. I paid with a card, stamped the app, received a candy after the meal, and left the restaurant. The ambiance and service were great, and most importantly, the value for money was exceptional. This is what true charity work looks like.

We made a reservation for 2 people and visited for the first time. We opted for the 2-hour all-you-can-drink course for 6,500 yen, available only on certain days. We visited during Sunday lunch hours. We were seated in a spacious private room and were able to enjoy delicious meat and drinks in a calm atmosphere.

I visited with two of my subordinates and we ended up ordering a la carte after debating whether to get a course meal. We shared dishes such as aged tongue, salted harami, hormone set, sirloin yukhoe, spicy tantanmen, and bibimbap, and enjoyed them slowly and pleasantly. The recommended tongue was delicious, with a matured meat flavor. The yukhoe was fresh and had no unpleasant aspects. The tantanmen was spicy but not overly so. It had a taste that makes you want to come back for more, which made it easy to see why it's popular.

I used it for a dinner meeting at night. Everything from the first kimchi to the meat was delicious. The cold noodles that came in the middle were very delicious as a palate cleanser. The famous Yukhoe that appeared in the middle was delicious. The additional order of Chateaubriand was exquisite. The drinks were also plentiful, and they recommended wines that were not on the menu. They all had a refreshing taste that went well with the meat. The Truffle Bibimbap at the end was just the right amount.
