One day, I received an invitation and visited "Toranomon Niku to Nihonshu" located at 2-4-12 Nishishinbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo for the first time. The restaurant is located on the 1st floor and basement of the 2 Nishishinbashi PR-EX building, and on this day, we sat at the counter on the 1st floor. Each person had a grill in front of them at the counter. The course was a 2-hour all-you-can-eat and drink with a last order of 90 minutes, priced at 5,500 yen per person. The course dishes were served first, and once finished, you could order additional items from the menu using your smartphone. Rice, curry rice, kimchi, and drinks could be ordered directly from the staff. There were also limited additional menu items available for an extra charge, such as wagyu tongue and harami. For drinks, there were beers like Premium Malt's Ale and bottled beers like Premium Malt's, Black Label, and Heartland. Other options included shochu and sours. The sake menu had over 20 varieties available for all-you-can-drink. When ordering sake, a cup labeled with "Niku" or "29" was provided, and the staff poured the desired sake into it. The dishes we had included appetizers like sunny lettuce, kimchi, and cabbage namul, as well as various meats like special liver, aged tongue, salt-grilled chicken, black wagyu tare-yaki, and more. We also enjoyed beers and sake, including AKABU, Oze no Yukidoke, Ryusei Hiyaroshi, Hakuro Taru Tama, and Yukiotoko. Overall, the food was delicious, and we had a great time trying different sake varieties. I would like to visit this restaurant again in the future.

The first set is delicious, but there is no standout meat dish afterwards, just a variety of pork, liver, and Japanese beef to eat endlessly. It gets a bit boring. There are also options for Japanese sake like Kagemaru and Dodoburoku, which were delicious.

I visited this restaurant for lunch for the first time, and it had a cozy atmosphere with both counter and table seating, making it easy for solo diners. I ordered the yakiniku set and was very satisfied with the generous portion of 100g. Also, the fact that you can enjoy curry for free at the end was so appreciated. The taste was also excellent.

I indulged in getting a medium serving, but I'm starting to think that I don't need that much oily meat. Since you can get a rice refill and even add curry on top, I think a small serving would be enough to feel satisfied. It's not bad, but there are many lunch options in this area, so I might prioritize other restaurants.

A convenient restaurant for when a woman wants to enjoy a quick and casual lunch of yakiniku in a clean and comfortable setting. While the table seats are often filled with businessmen having a lively lunch, the spacious counter seats are perfect for dining alone. The lunch sets offer a choice of loin, harami, hormone, or a combination, with the option to add a mini curry on the side for extra satisfaction. The side dishes include namul, salad, and soup, providing a good amount of vegetables.

I used it for lunch, the storefront is simple and easy to understand! There are first and basement floors, with a counter on the first floor making it easy to use even for one person. The table seats can fit four people, but feel a bit cramped. It was a bit disappointing that there was limited space for grilling. I ordered a set meal, the color of the meat was beautiful and delicious. Thank you for the meal. There are many types of Japanese sake, including rare ones, so I will come back at night.

I made a reservation for all-you-can-eat and drink on the first floor, where it's not self-service. You can add more meat other than tongue after finishing the first serving. The thick-cut tongue that cannot be refilled and the drinkable tongue were both really delicious. But the harami and wagyu tareyaki were also very tasty, so I went for seconds multiple times haha. I'm not good at sake and don't usually drink it much, but all of them were easy to drink and delicious. I think the cost performance is very good.

Order: All-you-can-eat and drink course (1st floor use) for 6890 yen Food and drink evaluation: The set comes first, and after eating that, you can order additional items. The set includes liver, beef tongue, Oyama Jidori chicken, marinated wagyu beef, harami, hormone, pork shoulder loin, sunny lettuce with meat miso, kimchi, and namul. It's quite a volume just with these, and although I didn't add any meat this time, I ordered eggplant, zucchini, and onion for vegetable grilling. The meat is all delicious, with thick-cut beef tongue and thinly sliced drinkable beef tongue being particularly tasty. The marinated wagyu beef is quite fatty, allowing you to enjoy the sweetness of the fat. The harami is served in chunks and it's fun to grill it yourself, and it was also delicious with a good elasticity. The local chicken and pork shoulder loin also had a solid umami flavor. The vegetable grilling is refreshing and very satisfying. The seasoning of the meat is generally on the strong side, but personally, I think it's good as it goes well with alcohol. Some people may enjoy wrapping the meat in sunny lettuce. You can also order curry as a finishing touch, but I refrained from ordering it this time because I was already full. The all-you-can-drink selection includes draft beer, highballs, and about 20 types of sake. I remember that it wasn't listed last time, but this time, the list also included the type of rice used, making it easier to find my favorite sake. Interior, service, etc. evaluation: Similar to the previous review, the interior is more like a cafe or bar than a yakiniku restaurant. However, it is well cleaned and has a considerable sense of cleanliness. The service is also very good, and I was very impressed once again this time. They recommended vegetable grilling because I didn't order additional meat, and such attentiveness is appreciated. They also seemed to be concerned about what kind of dishes or sake the customers are looking for based on the conversation. I think such an attitude is really important to increase customer satisfaction. I used the counter seats on the 1st floor again this time, and I had a good time with the owner having such conversations. Revisit: The meat is delicious, and you can enjoy various types of sake. Most importantly, the service is good, and I had a pleasant meal, so I would like to revisit again.

(Weekday) 11:42 Visit - 4 groups inside the store (6 groups when leaving, with both ground and basement floors) - Wagyu beef yakiniku set meal 100g (with rice, free mini curry refill, salad) for 1400 yen <Introduction> Today is a completely off day, so I can eat things with a smell! That's why I decided to visit this restaurant, "Toranomon Meat and Sake." This place offers a counter-style yakiniku dining experience. I assume it's probably expensive at night, but the lunch menu is said to be very cost-effective. Due to a train delay, I arrived at Shiodome Station instead of my usual stop at Shinbashi Station. It's my first time getting off at Shiodome Station, and it's quite urban with places like Nippon Television nearby. The sunlight is so strong that the heat is intense, especially with the reflection from the buildings. I need to remember to stay hydrated. It took about 15 minutes from Shiodome Station to reach the restaurant. I arrived slightly past the opening time, but luckily it was still not crowded. I was seated at the counter. It's my first time having yakiniku alone, but the wooden table and clean roaster create a cozy atmosphere. I was a bit indecisive about what to order, but I ended up choosing the 100g of Wagyu beef yakiniku. Now, time to wait. <Eating> I drank the water on the table while waiting, and in about 3 minutes, my order arrived. Wow! The beef is neatly arranged on the plate. The staff asked me, "When would you like the curry served? It's complimentary." I decided to have it served together. Apparently, you can have unlimited rice and curry refills... amazing! I put a couple of slices of meat on the grill. While flipping them over and eating the salad with spicy dressing, I noticed that the meat cooks quite quickly. I like my meat well-done, so I cooked it thoroughly and dipped it in the sauce... delicious! It's probably kalbi, with tender meat and sweet, melting fat in my mouth. It pairs well with the sauce. Even though it's 100g, it's a decent amount, but not overwhelming, so I can eat it eagerly. I can't stop mixing it with the rice. Next, the curry. It has a nostalgic, sweet taste. Ultimately, this flavor is the most comforting. I tried the egg soup, and it's quite garlicky! It has a nice punch to it and tastes great. <Conclusion> After that, I had more rice, wrapped namul in the meat, and before I knew it, I had finished everything. It was my first time having yakiniku alone, but the staff lit the fire for me, and the unlimited rice and curry were impressive in terms of service. The restaurant is clean, so it seems like a place where women can feel comfortable dining. If you're trying yakiniku alone for the first time, this is a must-visit place.

I had been wanting to visit this restaurant once. When the first plate of meat came out, it was quite a large portion. The aged tongue was delicious! The quality of the other meats was also quite good. It's a shame that the tongue is not all-you-can-eat, but just eating the meat that comes out is quite filling. More importantly, the fact that there is all-you-can-drink sake with a good selection of delicious sake is a delightful surprise. I ended up drinking quite a bit. It's nice that the kimchi and namul are also all-you-can-eat. In the end, it was just that and the sake. Laughing. It's good for when you want to enjoy plenty of sake with your grilled meat. Thank you for the meal.

On a regular day off, I had a solo BBQ lunch! It's been a while since I've had BBQ alone, even though I used to eat it occasionally when the BBQ restaurant was near my workplace. I had some business in Uchisaiwaicho, so I decided to eat around this area. There are a ton of restaurants in this area since it's a super office district. It's envy-inducing as a fellow company employee to have so many options. I chose this restaurant based on good reviews on Tabelog and Google, and it seemed to have a good balance. I arrived at 12:25, and it wasn't too crowded. Maybe it was because it was a bit late for the typical office worker's lunchtime. The exterior had a stylish feel, and the interior was clean. There were booth seats on the right and solo counter seats on the left. It was easy to enter and eat alone without feeling awkward. Even though I was on a day off, I didn't want the smell of BBQ to stick to my clothes, so the cleanliness was a plus. I got a little greedy and upgraded to 150g for 1900 yen. It was a surprisingly large amount (I should have just stuck with 100g). A Korean woman (manager/owner?) served the food. She may not speak fluent Japanese, but her service was good and made me feel at ease. As mentioned in another review, the service was good. It's not anything special, but there's something that comes across. I was worried that the meat in the Yakiniku Teishoku with a lot of fat would be heavy (well, I was greedy), but when I tried it, it wasn't as heavy as it looked, and I was able to finish it. The meat was of good quality, but more importantly, the rice, soup, salad, and namul were delicious. As far as set meals go, it's really tasty. I'm really bad at grilling meat, so next time I want to come with someone who is good at grilling.

I invited my Chinese friend who was visiting Japan to this restaurant for dinner after asking what they wanted to eat, and they said they wanted to eat delicious meat. The course we ordered was the "Meat and Sake All-You-Can-Eat Course" for 6890 yen, which includes 30 types of sake and a selection of grilled meat. The course included various dishes such as premium Japanese beef liver, thick-sliced aged tongue, special tripe for the Meat Day, drinkable tongue, salt-grilled Oyama chicken, teriyaki black wagyu beef, domestic pork loin, thick-sliced beef harami, mixed Japanese beef hormone, kimchi, namul set, lettuce, rice, and curry rice. The drinkable tongue was surprisingly delicious and my Japanese sake-loving Chinese friend was very happy. The meat was delicious and the cost performance was good, so I often visit this restaurant. Thank you for reading until the end! If you could like, follow, save the restaurant, or leave a comment, it would be greatly appreciated as it would be encouraging for the future!

There was a drama called "Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World." I have never actually seen the drama, but I wonder where the "center of the world" is. In Japan, there are about 30 centers even just within the country, but the geographical center of the Japanese population is said to be in Gifu Prefecture. Gifu is known for the Nagara River, and the sightseeing train "Nagara" allows you to enjoy the scenery and flavors of the area. Speaking of Nagara, there is the concept of "nagara-mi" where people used to get scolded for eating while watching something, but nowadays, about 80% of Generation Z multitask while watching something. After grilling meat and eating together, the meal is called a barbecue, where you eat while grilling. So today's lunch is at a meat and sake restaurant for some barbecue. A colleague requested a hearty meal, so we went to a place called Toranomon Meat and Sake for some wagyu beef barbecue set. The marbled wagyu beef looks beautiful. It melts in your mouth with its rich flavor. The tender meat is also delicious, especially with the sauce. I thought 100g wouldn't be enough, but you can get a rice refill, so it was satisfying. Finally, we got a mini curry to finish off the meal. Eating alone is nice, but it's also enjoyable to talk with someone while eating. The price has gone up by about 200 yen since the last visit, but it's still reasonably priced.

The 5500 yen course is located on the basement floor. With all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat options, the quality of the meat makes it worth the cost. The tongue was especially delicious, although I didn't realize it was an additional charge after the first serving. However, the black wagyu kalbi was also tasty so it's not a big deal. Just note that if you sit in the basement, you have to get your own drinks. It's not a big issue, but it did make the meal feel a bit rushed as I had to keep getting up for drinks while grilling the meat. I originally wanted to enjoy some sake, but in the end, beer just goes so well with grilled meat. Thank you for the meal.

It's very easy to have a good time with friends here. The all-you-can-drink deal at this price is excellent. The underground area may not seem spacious, but the booth seating allows for a relaxed experience. It's self-serve for drinks, but you can make highballs and sours at your table, which is convenient. The quality of the sake may vary. The meat was delicious considering the price.

I attended a company social gathering after a long time, and the restaurant was as good as ever. However, I felt that the selection of Japanese sake, which I consider to be the restaurant's specialty, was lacking. It may be a matter of personal preference, but I found the discrepancy between the restaurant's decor and the sake selection to be a bit unsettling. Perhaps the restaurant is more suited for first-time visitors.

First visit to a restaurant in Toranomon that I had been curious about. My junior made a reservation for four of us alumni, and we reserved seats on the first floor. In the end, we ended up getting the all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat set (which was quite extensive). We started with the set menu and then indulged in the all-you-can-eat menu (which wasn't as extensive). We ate various types of beef, pork, chicken, and offal, but we ended up focusing on the Japanese beef. The curry rice was surprisingly delicious, and I couldn't resist getting seconds. After one glass of draft beer, I had five glasses of sake. It cost around 6,500 yen per person. The BBQ was amazing, and I will definitely visit again.

A group of members who love meat and alcohol used this place for a girls' night out! We chose the self-service drink course for 5,890 yen. All-you-can-eat and drink for both meat and alcohol! To order food, we scanned the QR code and ordered from our smartphones. For drinks, we could choose from a variety of options in the showcase. There were about 4 types of bottled beer available for all-you-can-drink - so exciting! They had around 10 types of sake too, so we had a great time trying different types. We had plenty of meat and curry, all-you-can-eat style, and it was delicious with lots of meat! Time flew by so quickly. We wanted to keep eating and drinking more (laughs). We would love to try out other branches as well!

I ordered the special sirloin steak 150g. It took quite a long time for it to be served, but waiting made me excited. The meat looked like cut-off pieces of kalbi without any explanation on the part. The salad dressing was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I went on a regular night, but it was crowded even after COVID. It seems like they might be short-staffed because it's mostly self-service. The portions are huge. It's all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink, but they don't have a lot of premium meats like tongue. Instead, they have liver, chicken, and hormone meats. The tongue is tender, thick, and delicious. The table burner uses gas, which adds flavor to the meat through the smoke. They serve proper Black Label beer, square-shaped whiskey, and a variety of drinks from lemon sour to high-quality sake. The cost performance is excellent. I recommend going with a group of around four people for a nice drinking party. Thank you for the meal.

Order content: All-you-can-eat and drink course for 6,390 yen Reason for visit: Originally started as a private rental store in Yanaka, Bunkyo-ku. Later, a store called "Little Meat and Sake" was opened in Koto-ku Kameido where it could be used by non-private customers as well, and I used to frequent that place. However, it closed down due to redevelopment in the area, so I hadn't visited for a long time. This time, I found out that the same store is in Toranomon, so I decided to visit. Food and drink evaluation: The set came first, and after eating that, you can order additional items. The set included beef tongue, liver, black wagyu harami, black wagyu tareyaki, horumon, Oyama jidori chicken, pork shoulder loin, tail soup, etc. This was quite a substantial amount, so I didn't order much more. The meat was all delicious, especially the thick-cut beef tongue and black wagyu harami were very tasty. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, including draft beer, highball, and about 20 types of sake. It was nice to search for my favorite sake. You can also order curry as a finishing touch, which was also delicious. Interior, service, etc. evaluation: The interior is more like a cafe or bar than a yakiniku restaurant. It is a yakiniku restaurant, but it is clean and has a sense of cleanliness. Also, when I mentioned my preference for sake, I was recommended a sake that suited my taste, and the service was very good and very likable. This time, I used the counter seats on the first floor, which were relatively calm, and I was able to have a good time chatting with the owner. In the basement, the content of the dishes is the same, but the price is lower (5,890 yen), and the drinks are self-service, and there is no communication with the staff. Revisit: The meat was delicious, the sake was delicious, and most importantly, the service was good and I had a pleasant dining experience, so I definitely want to revisit this restaurant.
