■Access 2 minutes walk from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station on each Tokyo Metro line. ■Visit Frequency First time visiting. ■Purpose Dinner with friends. ■Overview Located on Ichigokaidori Street in Akasaka, this yakiniku restaurant is popular for its luxurious black-themed interior and unique yakiniku menu. ■Menu Both course meals and a la carte options are available. The courses are prepared in a wide range of prices. On this day, we ordered various items a la carte, including: - Yuki-doke Kalbi - Top Liver - Top Harami - Vegetable Tan Salt - Misuji - Shimacho - Top Mino - CHINTAN Special Curry - Rice - Premium Malt - Mega Square Highball ■Impression I found this yakiniku restaurant in Akasaka on Instagram and decided to visit for the first time. As it was my first time, I asked the staff for recommendations while selecting dishes. The first dish that arrived was the restaurant's specialty, Vegetable Tan. It's a menu item where the tongue is seasoned with a salt sauce made with plenty of vegetables. The sweetness from the vegetables combined with the umami of the tongue, creating a milder and richer flavor than the typical Negi Tan Salt, was an excellent dish. Another must-order item was the Snow Melt Kalbi, another specialty menu. The rich kalbi with fat, topped with a vegetable-based sauce and chopped green onions, had a strong visual impact. By grilling it in a way that wraps the green onions, it was cooked to a steamed texture, providing a soft, melting sensation in the mouth. The staff's grilling technique was excellent, and the restaurant offers high satisfaction in taste and hospitality at a reasonable price. I would like to visit again when eating yakiniku in Akasaka. Thank you for the meal. ■Score at the time of visit 3.07

You can walk from Akasaka and Mimatsu. This yakiniku restaurant is located on a lively street in Akasaka. The lighting is dim. The stylish interior is predominantly black. The restaurant is small with a limited number of seats, so it is recommended for those who want to enjoy a meal while having a leisurely conversation. Since it wasn't too crowded early on, I was lucky enough to have the master cook for us. The surprising thing when we sat down was the unique type of grill that I had never seen before. The grill at this restaurant has a special feature to prevent the fire from getting too big due to the fat. We ordered a la carte items. - Homemade Vegetable Salted Tongue: A recommended dish from this restaurant with a salted vegetable-based sauce. It was delicious with a perfect harmony of tongue's texture and tenderness, and a gentle seasoning. - Fresh Top Liver: A dish that boasts freshness to the point where it can be eaten raw. It was beautifully colored and cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. - Snow Melt Kalbi: Kalbi covered with a layer of green onions like snow, creating a beautiful presentation. The green onions were cooked inside the meat, and the combination of meat and onions was delightful. - Shinshin Rare Thigh: Red meat from the inner thigh served rare. It was so fresh that it could be eaten as sashimi, and it was delicious with the sauce. - Shimacho Hormone: Hormone cooked slowly and served with kabosu vinegar. It was tender, sweet, and I couldn't resist ordering some white rice to go with it. - Top Sirloin: A classic dish with a beautiful marbling of fat in the lean meat. It was delicious with the sauce, perfectly cooked by the master. - CHINTAN Special Curry: Grilled curry served in a hot pot. It was hot and flavorful, with finely chopped meat, potatoes, and carrots, almost like a curry porridge. It had a strong spice flavor and was delicious. As I ate, I discovered a raw egg hidden inside, adding a sinful yet satisfying touch to the dish. The master said that anyone can serve high-quality meat at a high price, but he wants to enhance customer satisfaction with originality and cost-effectiveness. I once again realized the importance of cooking to the right degree. It's a waste to overcook and make it tough when you have fresh meat. Good cost performance, delicious meat. I would like to visit this restaurant again. I write on Instagram @erizo0012, come and check it out!

I ordered a 1000 yen set for lunch. While I was somewhat disappointed with the quality and quantity of the meat, considering the price, I can't really complain. It's a valuable option in the area around Akasaka-Mitsuke Station where you can enjoy yakiniku for a relatively reasonable price. If I were to be picky, I would like them to improve the quality and quantity of the meat even if they raise the price a bit.

I visited "Yakiniku Horumon CHINTAN" located a 2-minute walk from Akasaka Mitsuke Station exit 10, along Ichigokidori. This restaurant is known for serving high-quality meat with unique twists at surprisingly good prices in a competitive area. The hidden gem vibe of the place, not being on the street level, gives a sense of exclusivity. I started with a "Premium Malt's draft beer (715 yen)" and the "CHINTAN Special Salad (880 yen)" which was a vegetable-packed chorogi salad, simple yet delicious. We began with the "Homemade Vegetable Salted Beef Tongue (1738 yen)" which was marinated in a vegetable-based salt sauce, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish that defies the usual image of tongue meat. A must-try is the visually stunning "Melting Snow Galbi (3608 yen)" which is a new sensation of galbi cooked with leeks in meat juices, absolutely delicious! The "Raw Lemon Sour (693 yen)" without sweetness paired well. We had the "Harami (1518 yen)" and the leaner "Shinshin (968 yen)" cooked rare. The staff takes care of cooking to ensure the best taste. We ended the meal with the refreshing "Cold Noodles (1045 yen)" and shared the "Yukkejang Soup (880 yen)" for a satisfying night. Unfortunately, the special thick liver was not available this time, but I will definitely come back for it.

The stylish atmosphere with black as the base color is a distinctive feature, and warm hospitality is provided inside the restaurant. It falls into the category of good cost performance in the Akasaka area, so when considering yakiniku in this area, please consider this restaurant as an option! 【Review】 ☆Melting New Sensation! Snow Melting Kalbi 3,280 yen The winning menu is here! This menu has a large amount of green onions, described as snow, sprinkled on top of the kalbi. I have tried this pattern with tongue and loin before, but this was my first time with kalbi. Personally, I'm not a fan of fatty meat, so I thought the collaboration between kalbi and green onions was made for me. Without flattery, it was so delicious that I kept saying, "Huh? This might be the best ever." ☆Vegetan Salt 1,580 yen The runner-up menu is here! This menu, which is said to have caused addiction among many, features a "special vegetable salt sauce" made from a blend of garlic, carrots, onions, and other vegetables. The collaboration between the special sauce and the tender tongue is truly artistic, so it's a must-try! ☆Fresh Top Liver 980 yen It is said that it is of such freshness that you would want to eat it raw if allowed, and it is true! The excellent freshness was evident from the moment it was placed on the table, and after gently cooking it with sesame oil, the liver had a firm texture with no peculiar smell, making it a perfect dish! Thank you for the delicious meal!

Located near Akasaka-Mitsuke Station on the Tokyo Metro, this restaurant is situated along Ichiki Street. Look for "Hanamaru Udon" as a landmark since the restaurant is on the second floor of a building. The interior has a chic design with a black color scheme, lacking the smoke and slippery floors typical of yakiniku restaurants, making it suitable for business dinners or even dates. Arriving around 7:30 pm on a weekday, the restaurant was bustling and full, so reservations are recommended. While there are value sets available, on this day, we opted for a la carte. We ordered the following dishes: Vegitan Shio, Top Liver, Yukidoke Kalbi, Harami, and a Special Assortment (Top Kalbi, Top Sirloin, Lamp, Misuji). We started with the Vegitan Shio and Yukidoke Kalbi, both recommended on the menu. The Vegitan Shio, made with the restaurant's special garlic and carrot marinade on beef tongue, was delicious. The dish had a generous portion size, perfect for sharing between two people. The Yukidoke Kalbi, thinly sliced and topped with plenty of negi (Japanese leek) without its spicy taste, was also very tasty. The negi added a unique flavor to the kalbi, which was light and easy to eat. The Top Liver was fresh and had a firm texture, lightly seared on the surface to enhance its sweetness. It melted in the mouth, especially when paired with salted sesame oil. The Harami had a substantial thickness, offering a satisfying texture. Although we originally wanted the Top Harami, which was sold out, the Regular Harami was of such high quality that we couldn't help but wonder how amazing the Top Harami must be. The Special Assortment included Top Kalbi, Top Sirloin, Lamp, and Misuji, all cut thick and generously portioned. Each person could enjoy two slices of each type of meat, making it a great value. The staff mentioned that they are particular about using A5-grade black cattle, sourcing the best meat available at the time. Despite being open for over three years, the restaurant still feels like a hidden gem, especially due to opening during the COVID-19 pandemic. It's worth visiting now before it becomes more well-known!

Located just a 3-minute walk from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, CHINTAN is situated in the Orange Box Building on the 2nd floor. The interior of the restaurant is chic and modern, with a predominance of black colors and pop art posters by Banksy. The atmosphere is calm and perfect for those looking to enjoy a relaxing meal. The owner, who is also the master chef, personally cooks the dishes if the restaurant is not too busy. I ordered a la carte and tried several dishes: - CHINTAN Special Salad: A voluminous salad with Korean seaweed and delicious dressing. - Homemade Vegetable Salted Tongue: A must-try dish with a salted vegetable base that enhances the flavor of the tongue. - Fresh Raw Liver: Incredibly fresh and tasty liver, served raw. - Snow Melt Kalbi: A visually appealing dish with finely chopped leeks on top of the kalbi meat. - Raw Meat Assortment: A unique dish with assorted raw meats including cheek meat, heart, tongue, and intestines. - Cold Noodles: A refreshing dish to end the meal, with chewy noodles and a light soup. The owner and master chef enjoy surprising their customers with innovative dishes. They constantly experiment with new recipes to offer a unique dining experience. The restaurant also features creatively named courses, with dishes ranging from mild to extremely spicy. One of the dishes, called "Tongue Killer Udon," is so spicy that even spicy food lovers are advised against ordering it. Overall, CHINTAN is a must-visit for those looking for a memorable and surprising dining experience.

I found a great yakiniku restaurant in Akasaka that was open after 10pm! It was my first time there, so I was debating whether to order a set meal, but I decided to go with a la carte to try their specialty, the "Yukidoke Kalbi." I ordered the tongue sampler which included 3 types of tongue for 968 yen per person, and it was definitely the right choice! They were all delicious! I also tried the fresh beef liver (thick cut) which was lightly seared and very tasty. The upper harami was sold out, so I settled for regular harami, but I really wanted to try the upper harami. The upper mino was average. I grilled all the meat myself, except for the Yukidoke Kalbi which was 3,608 yen and the staff grilled it for me. They wrapped the meat with leeks and steamed it. Overall, the flavors were a bit strong, with a slightly salty taste. Maybe they intended it to go well with alcohol.

Visited alone around 1 pm on a regular day. It was rare to see no other customers during lunchtime in the Akasaka area. I ordered the stone-grilled Yukke Bibimbap set. I didn't order any grilled meat, so I thought they would remove the stove, but they left it as it was. It arrived in about 10 minutes. The set was supposed to come with soup and oi kimchi, but surprisingly, they served it on top of the stone-grilled bibimbap! I mixed everything together, including the oi kimchi. I prefer oi kimchi and kakuteki to be served cold. If I have a chance to have a lunch barbecue, I might consider revisiting. I paid with PayPay.

[Scene] Located in the competitive area of Akasaka, this yakiniku restaurant offers reasonable prices, making it perfect for regular visits! Despite having many regular customers, it seems that many people still don't know about it, so it's easy to make a reservation! This time, we mainly ordered recommended dishes, and the "Homemade Vegetable Salted Vegetan Salt" was especially delicious! The "Yuki Melt Kalbi" is cooked together with plenty of leeks by the staff, so make sure to order this! It was so delicious, we couldn't stop eating! Thank you for the meal! Note: It can get crowded on certain days. Online reservations are also possible.

The Yukida Keabi, with plenty of green onions and a salt flavor, is best enjoyed medium rare. The grilled green onions add a sweet flavor to the meat, creating a fantastic dish.

Reservation: Yes Number of visitors: 2 people Duration of stay: 1.5 hours Price: 6000 yen per person This restaurant in Akasaka is perfect for casual dining. I usually don't order kalbi, but the "Yukidoke Kalbi" was delicious as we grilled it with leeks. It wasn't too greasy and very tasty. We also tried the veggie-tan salt, liver, yukidoke kalbi, extreme tongue, shinshin harami, motsu, and soup.

☆Recommended Points☆ ① Vegitan salt marinated in vegetable-based sauce ② Fresh and odorless premium liver [Recommended Usage Scenes] Having a meal with friends, acquaintances, or colleagues, welcome/farewell parties [1st-2nd Image] "Yuki-doke Kalbi (3,608 yen)" This is a popular menu recommended by the staff. The kalbi is topped with plenty of green onions, so much so that the meat is almost hidden. When grilling, wrap the green onions around the meat and cook it like steaming. The kalbi has a good amount of marbling, making it refreshing even for those who usually find kalbi heavy, especially when eaten this way. The saltiness of the green onions adds to the flavor, making it a dish that goes well with rice. [3rd-4th Image] "Extreme Tan (2,398 yen)" This is a rare menu item that can only be taken from one cow for five servings. It is a thick cut with a firm texture and a rich marbled feel. Since it has a lot of marbling, squeezing a little lemon on it enhances the flavor even more. [5th Image] "Vegitan Salt (1,738 yen)" This tan salt is marinated in a homemade vegetable salt sauce, and the tan is served with a light coating of the vegetable salt sauce still on the surface. The tan has a very tender texture, perhaps due to the enzymes from the vegetables. It has a gentle flavor even without any additional seasoning, making it just right for the first dish. The tan salt marinated in vegetable salt sauce is a must-try experience that cannot be found elsewhere. [6th Image] "Fresh Premium Beef Liver (1,078 yen)" The staff highly recommended this beef liver. They have absolute confidence in its freshness, and this time we ordered the thinly sliced version. The fresh liver can be eaten as it is, and when lightly seared and served with sesame oil and salt sauce, it has a chewy texture and a rich sweetness, with no odor at all. This is truly a high-quality dish that showcases the freshness of the ingredients. [7th Image] "Seared Yukke (1,408 yen)" The seared yukke comes with a large-sized egg yolk on top. It is made with a cut of meat with a lot of lean parts, giving it a rich umami flavor. The large egg yolk has a strong presence, almost as much as the lean meat, and it looks like it would taste delicious even when mixed with rice. [8th Image] "Ichibo Tare (2,178 yen)" Ichibo is a part of the beef rump that is connected to the outer thigh. This Ichibo also has a beautiful marbling, a rich flavor, and a soft texture, making it easy to eat. [9th Image] "CHINTAN Special Curry (990 yen)" A curry served in a stone pot similar to bibimbap. It comes with a large-sized soft-boiled egg on top, and when mixed, it becomes a curry dish with a texture similar to okayu. The meat, potatoes, carrots, and other ingredients are finely chopped inside, making it easy to eat even as a finishing dish. The seasoning is Japanese-style, with a noticeable dashi flavor. It is a curry with an addictive quality that you can't help but keep eating. [Summary] Located on Ichigokaido Street near Akasaka Mitsuke Station in Akasaka, the yakiniku restaurant "Yakiniku Horumon CHINTAN" has been in business for over three years since its opening in September 2019. Despite facing the challenges in the competitive dining area of Akasaka Mitsuke, they have overcome them, showcasing their true capabilities. I visited on a weekday at 7:30 PM with a reservation. The restaurant offers table seating, counter seating, and private rooms, suitable for various occasions and group sizes. The dim lighting and calm atmosphere inside the restaurant are appealing. One thing to note is that smoking is allowed inside, so non-smokers should be aware.

Today, I went to a yakiniku restaurant in Akasaka. The interior was dark and had a stylish atmosphere. First, I tried the "Gokutan" which had a thick cut and a crunchy texture. It was already seasoned with salt, giving it a savory flavor that made me crave for white rice. The recommended "Jikasei Yasai Shiodare Vegitan Shio" had a well-seasoned taste. The meat felt tender, possibly due to the sauce it was marinated in. Next, the seared yukhoe arrived, with a shiny egg yolk on top. The meat was well-seasoned and made me want white rice again. The "Yuki Tokemi Kalbi" had plenty of green onions sprinkled on top. I wrapped the meat with the crunchy green onions and grilled it, creating a steamed texture. The Kalbi was tender and paired well with the crispy green onions. The thinly sliced fresh liver was recommended. The fresh liver was lightly seared and eaten with a sesame oil and salt sauce. It was firm and delicious! Lastly, I had the "CHINTAN Special Curry" as a finale. It contained finely chopped meat, carrots, potatoes, and was seasoned with spices. When mixed with the topping of a warm boiled egg, the curry had a gentle and flavorful taste. It was a perfect ending. Depending on the crowdedness of the restaurant, today all the meat was grilled for me. The perfect grilling was amazing. The meat was well-seasoned, satisfying to eat as it is. If there is room in your stomach, I would recommend having it with white rice next time. The restaurant is located at 3-19-9 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Orange Box Building 2F. It is a 2-minute walk from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station Exit 10 on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line/Marunouchi Line, and a 5-minute walk from Exit 1 of Akasaka Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line.

It goes well with the Yukkejang soup! Depending on the congestion of the restaurant, the meat is usually served cooked! Also, the Yukidoke Kalbi is always cooked as it is difficult to eat raw! On this day, the Upper Harami and raw Senmai were not available! (It seems that they are difficult to obtain recently!) Among the meats, the Harami, Gokutan, Vegetan Salt, and Yukidoke Kalbi were especially delicious!!! The seasoning of the Yukidoke Kalbi was very addictive and delicious!!! Regardless of the location in Akasaka, all the meats are reasonably priced, showing the effort of the restaurant!! Everyone, please visit!
