■ Access: 7 minutes walk from Tokyu Toyoko Line, Daikanyama Station
■ Number of visits: First time
■ Purpose: Dinner with friends
■ Overview: A yakiniku restaurant located in a quiet residential area in Daikanyama. The owner, Mr. Kaneko, who trained at the renowned yakiniku restaurant "Yakiniku Kunimoto" in Hamamatsucho, has opened this restaurant where you can enjoy high-quality meat in a calm semi-private space. The restaurant has received high praise from various sources and has been selected as one of the top 100 yakiniku restaurants on Tabelog.
■ Menu: Orders start with a set of 6 assorted meats (8,200 yen per person) and then you can freely add individual orders. The menu includes discounted cuts, the famous roast beef, rice dishes, and soups. The menu we had on this day was as follows:
- Assorted meat set
- Kimchi assortment
- Cut-off pieces (2 servings)
- Large rice
■ Impressions: We had heard about Kaneko-san's restaurant for a long time but never had the chance to visit until now. My friend who loves yakiniku was in the same situation, so we decided to make a reservation and finally went. The assorted meat set that appeared suddenly included six types: rolled loin, ichibo (top blade), sirloin, fillet, skirt, and lamb chops. Each piece was cut thick and had a satisfying texture. The most delicious was the thick fillet. Known as a high-priced cut, the fillet was generously thick and incredibly tender, melting in the mouth without much effort. Combined with the secret sauce, it offered a sophisticated umami flavor that filled the mouth. The cut-off pieces that you can order after finishing the assorted set are a must-try item at this restaurant. It contains various cuts, some with more marbling, but all are top quality in taste. You can choose from the normal sauce, gochujang sauce, or spring onion salt sauce, and we chose the spring onion salt sauce, which added a nice touch of umami and enhanced the appetite even more. The owner and staff provided attentive service, making it a place we would like to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
