I visited for the first time on a Friday night. It was crowded and many meats were sold out, but I was able to enjoy various cuts of meat a little at a time with the a la carte menu. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. They also changed the charcoal grill at the right time, providing attentive service. Even though it was a 2-hour limit, we ended up staying until the end because we kept ordering more.

This is my second visit. I made a reservation for Saturday night and visited the restaurant. [Today's Order] Venus Salad, Spicy Bean Sprouts with Green Onions, Bakatan Female Beef Three Kinds Assortment, Upper Harami Yukkejan Noodles, Beer (SORACHI 1984), and Makgeolli. Everything was delicious!

Second visit to this restaurant. The meat is delicious, but there are quite a few cuts that are sometimes not available due to being sold out. It might be a good idea to reserve a course or the specific cut you want in advance, so if you have something in mind, it's worth mentioning when making a reservation. We ordered a la carte. We had a platter of three types of tongue, harami with green onions, spicy bean sprouts, yukke, and jjangkuppa. The drink was also included. Unfortunately, the loin we wanted to try was not available that day, but the top kalbi in the three types platter was delicious! The platter also included kalbi and sirloin, both of which were elegant in their fat content, tender, and tasty.

I made a reservation on the same day, but the food was really delicious. The cost performance was also good for this taste. The restaurant is small, so the staff is easy to call. It quickly became full, so I guess it's a popular place? If I feel like eating yakiniku in Akasaka-Mitsuke again, I would definitely want to come back!

The nearest station is between Akasaka Station and Akasaka-Mitsuke Station. Among the many high-end yakiniku restaurants in the area, this place stands out! Even middle-aged important people are satisfied with the quality here! - All the meats are delicious! The assorted platter is a must-try! - The standard hormone dish (techan) is excellent even for those who are not fans of hormones! - The soup is also tasty! The yukgaejang soup is great! I want to try the jjigae next time! - The gelato was also delicious. They offer seasonal gelato (fruit/milk) from Asagaya Shincherita, which varies daily but is always tasty! - Personally, the radish kimchi is the best. It was my first time trying it, but it's the number one appetizer! - The restroom is average. They have taken care to reduce smoke, so there is almost no smell of clothing!

We had a yakiniku dinner in Akasaka. The restaurant had a nostalgic atmosphere with busy table seats. They offer items like beef intestines and raw beef, which are rare to find nowadays. The meat had a good amount of marbling and is a bit heavy for those who prefer lean meat. It would be a hit for those who like meat that melts in your mouth. The portions were generous, so it was good value for money and we left feeling satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

【Memo】Akasaka Mitsuke. After finishing a week-long business trip to Hokuriku and with an upcoming trip to America next week, I should have been a good boy and behaved myself, but... (laughs). I was invited by a friend for a meat feast around Akasaka. The day before, I had a luxurious meat course called "Gourmet☆Deluxe Small Portions" at Yumemisaki in Minami Boso. And on the night of the actual day, after indulging in another gourmet course at the teppanyaki restaurant Bakunos in Akasaka, I couldn't resist and ordered a la carte dishes like spicy bean sprouts, assorted kimchi, seared liver, Korean-style cold tofu, yukhoe, soup, and more. The beef tripe sashimi was a nice touch. The conversation with my friend was lively, but my stomach was stuffed! I need to take care of my health a bit before the trip to America next week. Thank you for the feast. I will visit again if I have the chance.

I went to Akasaka for work and was introduced to this place called "Kinboshi." I made a reservation and went there right away. The restaurant was filled with autographs of celebrities. The interior is not very spacious. There was a lady who seemed like the owner, she confidently recommended dishes and gave off a professional vibe. The Kakuteki was sour and refreshing. The Tan Shio (salted beef tongue) was recommended, and the Harami and Misuji were very high-quality cuts of meat. Thank you for the delicious meal. There were families dining as well, including a young boy who looked like he was just starting elementary school. It was surprising to see someone so young enjoying such high-quality meat!

I met with my senior at a delicious yakiniku restaurant after 5 pm. It was easy to find, right in front of Don Quijote on Misuji Street. I thought it was just a regular yakiniku restaurant, but it turned out to be a place where the owner takes pride in the quality of the meat. The young and capable owner grilled the premium harami and fillet carefully, and they were incredibly delicious! We enjoyed some raw liver slices as an appetizer, and finished with a perfect kimchi soup. We ended up drinking two bottles of domestic wine together. I was too engrossed in listening to my senior's stories, so I didn't take any photos.

This is a yakiniku restaurant located slightly off the main street of Akasaka Misuji. It has a traditional Korean-style atmosphere with decent cost performance and good quality meat. The sauce is on the sweeter side with a Korean twist, making it delicious. I particularly enjoyed the harami, loin, and horumon. Check out my detailed food review on my blog and social media accounts.

I visited this restaurant based on a recommendation from an acquaintance. I made a last-minute phone reservation and luckily there was a seat available. I brought my child along, but we could only find seating at a table, which was a bit inconvenient. However, this restaurant doesn't seem to be very child-friendly in the first place. The recommended dishes were the Tanilla Chijimi, which were indeed delicious. We also ordered the Tamago Kuppa at the end, which was also great. Although the prices are a bit high, it's worth it for a treat once in a while. The only downside for me was that they didn't have bottled beer available.

This time, I went to Akasaka Charcoal Grill Yakiniku Kinsei, where you can enjoy A5 grade domestic black wagyu beef in Akasaka! It's a popular restaurant with a casual atmosphere but offers high-quality meat and rare cuts. I'm excited to try it out! Heading to the restaurant now! It's about a 3-minute walk from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi and Ginza lines, located on a bustling street with many other shops. The entrance is easy to spot with its curtain hanging outside. Inside, the atmosphere is casual and lively with many people. The menu offers a variety of rare cuts of meat, some of which I've never heard of before. I forgot to take photos, but there were many autographed boards displayed, indicating that many celebrities have visited. The seating is comfortable and cozy, with a charcoal grill brought right in front of you. Using this grill to sear the meat over charcoal enhances the flavor of the high-quality meat even more. Surrounded by the juicy aroma of the meat, I'm already hungry, so let's dig in! The kimchi is delicious and I can't stop eating! The Kinsei salad is fresh and tasty, with a nice seasoning. The Negi Shio (salted green onion) tongue is incredibly delicious, with a rich umami flavor. The harami (skirt steak) is tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of marbling. It melts in your mouth, and when paired with green onions, it's even more delicious! The Komutan soup is a comforting break between bites of grilled meat, cleansing the palate and preparing you for more meat. The harami is my favorite here, it's truly exceptional! The balance of lean and marbled meat is perfect, and when paired with rice, it's a festival of flavors in your mouth. I ate a lot today and it was so enjoyable and delicious! Each cut of meat was delicious and high-quality, but my top recommendation is the harami. It's a must-try here! The atmosphere of the restaurant is lively and fun, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Plus, they're open late, which is great. I'll definitely be coming back here again! I highly recommend you to visit too!

"I want to eat yakiniku!" Have you ever felt this sudden urge? Yes, today is the day for satisfying that craving for yakiniku. So, I quickly search for a yakiniku restaurant in Akasaka. Akasaka has a lot of yakiniku restaurants, including Korean ones. There are so many options that it's hard to choose, even when looking at websites like Tabelog. Hmm, can't decide... Alright, let's just explore the area and see what we find! Recently, it's still hot even at night. Walking for a long time is tough. But then, I spot a restaurant. "Charcoal Grilled Yakiniku Kinsei." "Charcoal" and "Japanese Black Beef." With these keywords, it must be delicious! So, I head inside! - Kimchi Assortment (900 yen) Of course, we can't start without kimchi. It's important, so I'll say it twice. Kimchi. A mix of oi kimchi and kakuteki. Perfect! - Upper Tongue with Salt (1,780 yen) Next, this! Upper tongue with salt! The more you chew, the more umami spreads in your mouth. It's incredibly delicious! It goes perfectly with lemon juice. - Kalbi (980 yen) Yakiniku isn't complete without kalbi, right? No objections accepted. Wow, this is amazing! I want to eat it even if it's rare! - Domestic Japanese Black Beef Assortment (4,300 yen) An assortment of Japanese black beef. Shinshin, ichibo, lamp, kainomi... These are all parts I don't usually see. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it. Such a satisfying meal. - Hormone Assortment (1,580 yen) Can't forget about this. Hormone! The rich flavor of this hormone is irresistible. It goes well with rice. - Rib Maki (1,580 yen) And finally, I order the Rib Maki, a part I've never tried before. It's said to be from the top of the rib loin. I have high expectations! This is... so delicious! As expected from a top-notch rib loin substitute. After thoroughly enjoying the delicious yakiniku, my stomach is full. Every meat was delicious. There are still many parts I haven't tried, so mastering the art of yakiniku seems like a long journey. In search of the next yakiniku adventure, we set off once again.

The yakiniku restaurant in Akasaka has a casual atmosphere, but they focus on high-quality wagyu beef. It's a convenient place to enjoy high-quality yakiniku without feeling intimidated by a high-end atmosphere. Starting with draft beer, I ordered a selection of 5 types of wagyu beef and the premium tongue salt. Don't forget the napa cabbage kimchi! The premium tongue salt was thick and juicy with a generous portion. The selection of 5 types of wagyu beef included chuck flap, middle rib, skirt, top sirloin, and brisket, with about 2-3 slices each. The meat was not too fatty and of good quality. Personally, I'm not a fan of heavily marbled meat, so I appreciated the balance. Unfortunately, they were out of bottled red wine and even the by-the-glass option. Since red wine is a popular choice with yakiniku, I hope they make sure to keep it in stock in the future. It was disappointing to miss out on wine, especially considering the quality of the meat.

When you come to this area, you must have yakiniku, so I visited Akasaka Charcoal Grill Yakiniku Kinsei. I enjoyed the Megakadohai and kimchi platter, as well as the raw senmai (which was delicious) while choosing the meat. I ordered the Wagyu three-point platter with kalbi, macchi roasts, and tomomi triangles. They were all quite fatty and heavy for someone like me over 40, but I managed to finish them by ordering a cholegisalad in between. Since the hormone dishes seemed popular, I also ordered those without hesitation. The copchan was very fatty and juicy, but I resisted the temptation of white rice and ordered another Megakadohai instead. Overall, the meat quality was quite good. The prices were also reasonable (not cheap). Thank you for the meal!

I used it for a buffet. There are many types of meat, and you can enjoy high-quality meat. The portion size is a little small, but it might be good when you want to try a variety of meats. The number of seats is small, so ordering is smooth and the service was very quick.

When three of us ordered a mixed grill and a hormone platter, they cut each portion into three pieces for us, so we didn't end up fighting over it, lol. Even if we had gone with four or five people, they would probably do the same. We were able to enjoy our meal without rushing and savoring each bite.

Charcoal-grilled yakiniku Kinsei is a must-visit for meat lovers! Their harami and ichibo cuts from 3-year-old female cows are incredibly delicious. Don't miss out on their tongue and lean cuts as well. Located in Akasaka, this place is perfect for those who appreciate good food and gourmet experiences. #yakiniku #harami #ichibo #3yearoldcow #leanmeat #delicious #tongue #AkasakaGourmet #foodie #gourmetlovers

It was delicious overall. The skirt steak was the best today. The beef tongue, lamb, despite being lean cuts, had a good amount of marbling and were tasty. The spicy bean sprouts and stone pot bibimbap were also good. The staff and atmosphere were nice. Will definitely come back.

The course was okay, nothing special, but dishes kept coming one after another. The service at the Korean restaurant felt like being taken care of. It's non-smoking now.
