After a long time, I visited Azabu-Juban. This time, I visited 【Charcoal Grill ARATA】, which opened last November on the 1st floor of Oakwood Hotel & Apartments. I didn't know there was such a wonderful place that had a grand opening~! The design concept of the restaurant is "a Japanese-style charcoal grill restaurant created by Nordic people in London," and the interior is a stylish space that exudes the warmth of wood. I was the first to enter the restaurant, but it quickly filled up☆ It seems to be a popular restaurant already, so making a reservation might be a must. Orders are placed using a tablet placed on the table. The categories were easy to understand and user-friendly. The restaurant's water is electrolyzed hydrogen water. Not only for drinking water, but also for washing ingredients and rice, tea, making broth, and in every aspect of the restaurant, electrolyzed hydrogen water is used. It is said to help relieve indigestion and hangovers as well☆ In addition to the restaurant's concept, there is attention to detail in such places. First, a toast with sparkling wine♪ The cute rabbit made me want another glass☆☆ Crispy pickled kimchi, fresh and crunchy, with a good balance of spiciness.☆ Delicious salted salad with a hint of sesame oil.☆ Hara-mi yukke made with fresh Hara-mi delivered every morning from a butcher shop in Shibaura. It is delicious when mixed with a sweet homemade sauce and rich yolk. The flavor of the Hara-mi is also clearly felt and delicious~♡ The Korean seaweed is a nice accent. Paired with red wine for grilling☆ Superior tongue with a thickness that is just right. It is topped with a special sauce of chopped green onions♡ (Forgot to take a photo) It is soft and juicy with a crispy texture! It is juicy, and the umami spreads in the mouth and is delicious~♡ The harmony of the green onion sauce and lemon juice is irresistible! Despite being charcoal-grilled, the strong duct system ensures that smoke and odors are not a concern. This is great♪☆ Special Japanese beef kalbi The recommended special Japanese beef kalbi is from Saga Prefecture. It is juicy but not heavy, and the umami and sweetness spread in the mouth, making you happy♡ Delicious~♪ The meat itself is not greasy, but there is another secret to enjoying the kalbi, which has been avoided recently. A homemade savory vinegar sauce. The meat is generally seasoned, so you eat it as is, but when you dip it in the savory vinegar sauce, it becomes refreshing and delicious! It seems to go well with juicy meats such as kalbi.☆ Special Japanese beef loin Also from Saga Prefecture. It is thinly sliced, so it is quickly seared. Dive into the Otsuji raw egg♪ It melts~♡ Honestly, it's drinkable! Delicious~♡☆ Organic Lemon Sour A natural lemon sour made with wax-free lemons that you can eat the peel of.☆ Special Japanese beef harami Because I like harami, I also tried it grilled. Along with the harami, I had garlic oil grilled with a moist garlic. Delicious~!! It's full of power.☆ Spicy curry As the name suggests, it is spicy and authentic♪ I can't stop eating with a spoon because it's so delicious. It's a deliciousness that becomes addictive♡☆ Amaou Strawberry Ice Cream Dessert until the end was delicious♡ Everything was delicious, and I was very satisfied!! From the meat to the concept, the interior, the hydrogen water... there was attention to detail. The staff were also very friendly and created a pleasant atmosphere. It's a restaurant where you can have a delicious and enjoyable time. I would like to visit again☆

A modern yakiniku restaurant, part of the ARATA series, located on the main street of Azabu in the Oakwood Hotel & Apartments 1F, alongside a Japanese izakaya. This establishment is run by the Live Create Group, known for bringing passion and style to the Azabu/Roppongi area. The stylish space features Tomdixon lighting, natural interior, and touch panel ordering system. Despite its casual and light atmosphere, the menu offers carefully selected items, with a focus on lean cuts of meat that are flavorful and tender. They also provide a house-made salt and vinegar sauce for a unique and refreshing taste. The rice is cooked with hydrogen water using Yumepirika rice from Yamagata, which is delicious on its own. The extensive drink selection includes organic wines, adding to the impressive dining experience.

This yakiniku restaurant is located right near Azabu-Juban Station, on the first floor of the Oakwood Hotel. When you enter, you'll find table seating and a counter in a casual and clean atmosphere. I visited with 6 friends and we were happy to be able to order a variety of menu items. One great thing for women is that despite being charcoal-grilled, there is no smoke or smell on clothes thanks to the roaster. We ordered various dishes including kimchi platter, salt salad, harami yukke, tongue salt, kalbi, loin, My Umami Negi platter, hormone assortment, and white cold noodles. The kalbi and loin were particularly delicious. The My Umami Negi platter came with a generous amount of green onions, which paired well with the meat. I found this restaurant to be a great choice for a casual gathering with friends, and the cost performance in Azabu-Juban is quite good!

The atmosphere of the restaurant: △, Customer service: ○, Taste: ○, Cost performance: △, Likelihood to revisit: ○. I appreciate that they keep the restaurant open late. The interior of the restaurant felt smaller than I expected. The seasoning of the meat is well done and the yakiniku sauce is delicious. I think it's a good place to have a lively time with friends.

Thank you for viewing. I would appreciate your follow, likes, saves, and Instagram follow. It was neither good nor bad. The dashi-based cocktail was delicious.

A short walk from Azabu-Juban Station towards Higashi-Azabu, you will see the newly opened Oakwood Residence Hotel with its trendy design. On the first floor is a yakiniku restaurant. Across the street, almost right in front, is an Italian restaurant called "chick," which seems to be part of the same group as the popular Italian bar in Roppongi, "ARIA." Despite being a yakiniku restaurant, the atmosphere inside is clean and comfortable, just like the other restaurants in the group. The meat is cooked on a shichirin grill, allowing excess fat to drip away and bringing out a unique deliciousness. There is a wide variety of high-quality meat available. In the competitive yakiniku scene of Azabu-Juban, there are many other nearby restaurants offering better-tasting meat at a similar price point. Overall, the staff were friendly and energetic. It is also possible to order dishes from the neighboring izakaya "RUKA," which is connected by a shared wall.

The liver was so tender and fresh that it could be eaten raw. It was really delicious! I want to come back again! The sesame oil was also good. All the alcohol used was organic, which was nice. The cold noodles had a rich flavor in the soup, which I also liked. I thought it would be good to come back again.

I visited the restaurant "ARATA", which opened on the first floor of the Oakwood Hotel, right near Maabu-Juban Station. The concept of the restaurant is "Japanese-style charcoal-grilled meat restaurant created by Nordic people in London". The interior of the restaurant combines elements of Nordic, British, and Japanese styles, creating a stylish and harmonious space. You can easily place your order using the tablet on the table. The attention to detail is evident in each menu item, making everything so appealing. The water served initially was electrolyzed hydrogen water, showing the attention to detail. One must-try dish is the hormone, which is so fresh that it can also be served as sashimi. The high-quality wagyu beef is also recommended, especially the "tare yakiniku". The sauce is delicious and enhances the flavor of the meat. The side dishes are also plentiful, with dishes like Miyazaki spicy noodles and Morioka cold noodles being satisfyingly large. The staff were attentive and accommodating, even adjusting the level of spiciness in the noodles upon request. The drink menu includes additive-free sours and natural wines. The variety of soft drinks was appreciated, catering to both alcohol drinkers and non-drinkers. The service was excellent, and the restaurant was bustling with customers, so it's recommended to make a reservation in advance. I look forward to visiting again to enjoy the delicious meat.

Every time I went to Azabu-Juban, I was intrigued by the stylish and fashionable building called "Oakwood Hotel" where you can enjoy yakiniku on the first floor. I invited my meat-loving friends and went to check it out. Located about a 2-3 minute walk from Azabu-Juban Station, the place was designed by a Nordic person who created a Japanese-style charcoal-grilled meat restaurant in London. The atmosphere is chic yet cozy, with counter seats, table seats, and two private rooms. They offer a variety of meat, including lean cuts and various types of horumon. The horumon is so fresh that it can even be eaten as sashimi! The cost performance of enjoying such fresh meat is impressive. They also have a great selection of natural wines, carefully selected sake, and shochu. I was particularly happy to see a wide variety of sparkling wines and wines by the bottle. The attention to detail extends to their soft drinks, with concentrated orange juice and tomato juice that impressed me. The fact that everyone, whether they drink alcohol or not, can enjoy the drinks is great. The restaurant uses hydrogen water for drinking and cooking, showing their dedication to quality. With warm and welcoming service from the manager and staff, I confidently recommend this restaurant. It's quite popular, so I suggest making a reservation before going.

The Azabu-Juban area has a mix of traditional charm in the shopping street and modern buildings in the vicinity, making it a diverse neighborhood. A futuristic building, Oakwood Hotel & Apartments, has recently opened in the area, adding to the appeal of the neighborhood. I recently visited the restaurant "ARATA" located on the ground floor of this new building with a friend. The restaurant is stylish and modern, with attention to detail in the interior design. The ventilation system effectively removes the smoke from the charcoal grilling, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. We had a great time enjoying delicious food and drinks at the restaurant. The menu can be easily ordered using a tablet provided at each table, with options for quick or delayed serving. The restaurant offers a selection of wines and cocktails, including organic lemon sour and German Riesling. Despite indulging in food and drinks, the high-quality meat and electrolyte hydrogen water served at the restaurant helped us feel energetic the next day. We enjoyed various dishes including pickled kimchi, harami yukke, and premium wagyu beef. The wagyu beef was tender and flavorful, especially the special wagyu kalbi and roast beef from Saga prefecture. The ox tongue and garlic oil grilled meat were also delicious. We ended the meal with a comforting ox tail soup and a refreshing dessert of Amaou strawberry ice cream. The attentive service from the manager and staff added to the overall enjoyable dining experience. It's a delight to have such a great restaurant in the Azabu-Juban area.

Last November, a yakiniku restaurant opened in Azabu-Juban, "ARATA," which is open until 3 a.m. and specializes in Obanzai and fresh fish. The concept of the restaurant is "a Japanese-style yakiniku restaurant created by Nordic people in London." Reservations are essential as the restaurant was already full by 7 p.m. on a Sunday. We ordered appetizers, harami yukke, pickled kimchi, Saga Prefecture special wagyu beef loin, special wagyu harami, premium tongue, and a mix of lean cuts. The meat was incredibly fresh, tender, and delicious. The restaurant's specialty "Osaka sauce" paired perfectly with the meat. The homemade sweet and sour sauce was also a great addition for a refreshing change. We ended the meal with spicy red noodles, which were satisfyingly spicy. The restaurant offers a wide selection of wines, sake, shochu, and sours, with a focus on natural wines. The chilled dashi mixed with shochu was a standout drink. The restaurant also pays attention to the water they use, utilizing electrolyzed hydrogen water. Although we didn't try it this time, the fresh hormone sourced daily from Shibaura is also popular. The staff is very friendly and helpful, providing guidance on the menu and how to enjoy the food. With a counter seating option available, this restaurant is also great for solo yakiniku dining.

Last November, a great yakiniku restaurant opened in Azabu-Juban! Just a 3-minute walk from Juuban Station, when you enter the restaurant, you'll find the group restaurant "RUKA" serving small dishes, and further inside, you'll find the charcoal-grilled yakiniku restaurant "ARATA." The design concept is quite interesting - it's like a Japanese-style charcoal-grilled meat restaurant created by Nordic people in London. Even the restroom plays British radio. I visited on a holiday at 6 pm, so I was the first group, but gradually more people arrived, and it quickly became full. Despite being newly opened, it's already a very popular spot. I tried some recommended meats from the menu, such as the Saga Prefecture special top-grade Wagyu sirloin, the premium Wagyu skirt meat, and my favorite, the top tongue for yakiniku. The meats were fresh, tender, and of excellent quality. We also had appetizers like skirt meat yukhoe and pickled kimchi. You can choose between salt or sauce, and this restaurant uses the "Osaka sauce" for its yakiniku, which is quite delicious. I recommend trying their homemade sweet and sour sauce. We also ordered a variety of lean meats and finished with spicy red noodles with plenty of eggs. The noodles had a perfect level of spiciness and were delicious. The drink menu is extensive, with natural wines, craft ginger sour, and a selection of Japanese sake. They also serve electrolyzed hydrogen water, which is said to aid digestion and relieve indigestion. It's a great place to enjoy yakiniku, and it's open until 3 am, making it a convenient spot for late-night cravings.

Originally, it was supposed to be a fasting day and a chance to stay home, but unexpectedly ended up indulging in meat instead of taking a break from alcohol?! LOL. To celebrate (or not?) my graduation from work, I decided to go out for drinks after work and looked for a place that was open until late. I found this newly opened Oakwood Hotel with a yakiniku restaurant on the 1st floor that was open until late, and it was even affiliated with Bistro Chick, so I trusted the quality. So, I decided to visit this place for the first time. The place was unexpectedly crowded, with a high percentage of foreigners. We were seated at the counter in the back, and we started with champagne. We then ordered sashimi and namul first before they brought the charcoal grill. It turned out to be a long night with a 3.5-hour yakiniku course. We left the restaurant after 11:30 pm. The ordering system was interesting as we used an electronic tablet, which made things quick and convenient. The water they used was electrolyzed hydrogen water (alkaline ion water), and even the chaser was replaced with a whole bottle on the counter. Self-service was efficient and convenient. The grilled meat was delicious, especially the harami and lamb shoulder loin. We also ordered horumon and harami yukhoe. The green tea highball was surprisingly sweet, and when I complained, the staff offered to replace it, but I finished it myself. Overall, the food was good, and the staff, mostly young men, were lively and attentive. The atmosphere was vibrant, with a diverse clientele. Next time, I want to try the fresh horumon they source from Shibaura. Thank you for the meal!

Yakiniku restaurant that is stylish, serves hydrogen water and additive-free dishes. Located on the first floor of Oakwood in Azabu-Juban, with high ceilings and Tom Dixon lighting, it gives off a chic vibe. Mambo Nakam also stays open until 3 am, which is convenient. Not only is it stylish, but they also pay attention to using additive-free ingredients and hydrogen water, which is great for health. The water they serve for free is hydrogen water, which is unheard of overseas! Amazing. Some memorable dishes include the incredibly tender and flavorful Harami Yuke with a rich homemade sauce. The Umashio Salad lives up to its name and is a delicious sesame-flavored green salad that pairs well with the meat. A must-try is the Natto Kimchi Yuke, a healthy combination of minced natto, kimchi, green onions, and egg that is surprisingly light and delicious. The meats come pre-seasoned, but dipping them in their homemade vinegar-based sauce adds a refreshing touch. I opted for the top-grade Saga beef loin, which was incredibly tender, sweet, and melted in my mouth. The special sauce helped cut through the richness of the meat. Despite being full, I couldn't resist ordering the cold noodles as a finishing touch. Even though I was dining alone, the counter seating made me feel comfortable. I look forward to returning with friends to try a variety of dishes.

We visited a stylish yakiniku restaurant inside the newly opened "Oakwood Hotel & Apartments Azabu" with a friend. The interior had a gentle, rounded feel and a calming atmosphere. The charcoal grill style was used, but the smoke exhaust system was perfect, so the smell was not a concern at all! The meat was seasoned with a special sauce before being brought to the table, so there was no sauce on the table, only "umami salt vinegar sauce." This sauce worked wonders towards the end of the meal! We started with Chanja, which had a refined spiciness with a hint of sweetness and a crunchy texture. The premium tongue was beautiful and perfectly cooked as recommended by the restaurant, with a nice sear on the outside. It was incredibly delicious! The assorted lean meat platter included premium kalbi, loin, and geta kalbi. The premium kalbi had a beautiful marbling, and it was obvious that it would be delicious even before cooking! It was a blissful moment enjoying the meal. The loin was tender and melted in the mouth as soon as you took a bite. The special sauce was well infused, adding a nice touch. The geta kalbi was made from Saga beef, which was surprising! It had layers of lean meat and fat, making it visually appealing. It had a rich umami flavor and was very delicious. The offal platter included honeycomb tripe, throat cartilage, and small intestine. It was a perfect balance and quantity for those who like to try a little bit of everything. The small intestine had a sweet fat with a rich and delicious taste. It was perfect both as it is and dipped in the restaurant's special umami salt vinegar sauce, which helped cut through the richness while still enjoying the best parts of the offal. For drinks, we tried various sours after having beer. The organic lemon sour was crisp and went perfectly with the beef tongue. The craft ginger sour had freshly squeezed ginger juice, giving it a punchy flavor. It had a hint of sweetness from the ginger syrup and a spicy kick, leaving a lingering deliciousness. The umeboshi sour showcased the natural flavor of the ingredients. It was nice to know that it was additive-free and pesticide-free. We were impressed by the electrolyzed hydrogen water placed on each table as drinking water. It was incredibly smooth and easy to drink, and we were told that the restaurant also used it in their dishes. It was said to help with digestion, so we drank a lot of it between alcoholic drinks. Despite drinking a lot, we didn't feel too intoxicated, and we felt refreshed the next morning, thanks to the hydrogen water. For dessert, we had amaou strawberry ice cream. It was delicious, and the choice of using amaou strawberries instead of regular strawberries was excellent. Overall, we could feel the restaurant's wonderful attention to detail, and we had a fun and delicious time. We wanted to order more, but our stomachs couldn't keep up this time. We definitely want to come back for a rematch!

I was invited by a friend to visit a relatively new yakiniku restaurant. It is a branch of the famous Bistro Chick in Azabu-Juban and the popular CUCINA ITALIANA ARIA. The location, interior, and atmosphere were all fantastic! It's just a 3-4 minute walk from Azabu-Juban Station, Exit 6. It's located across the street from Bistro Chick, on the first floor of the Oakwood Hotel. The entrance is shared with a small izakaya that is part of the same group. Despite not being very spacious, there is depth to the restaurant and private booth-style seating is available. The simple yet elegant atmosphere is very nice. Each table is equipped with a blanket and a basket for personal belongings, showing attention to detail. They use tablets for ordering to ensure minimal contact, which is very modern. The tablet menu is easy to understand and user-friendly. - Premium Malt Aroma Ale: We started with beer, which always gets me excited! The creamy foam and golden color of the beer poured into a thin glass is irresistible. - Fresh Kimchi: This kimchi is different from the usual. It is incredibly fresh, almost not pickled at all. I heard that they mix it right after you order. The crispness of the cabbage is amazing. I personally prefer it over regular kimchi; it's like a fresh salad. - Harami Yukke: The meat is firm and full of flavor with each bite. Mixing the sweet and savory sauce with egg yolk creates a rich and creamy taste. It's so delicious that you can't help but keep eating! - Rubicone Rosso Sangiovese: A robust red wine that pairs perfectly with the meat. - Upper Tongue: Recommended to cook it in the middle of the charcoal grill until it gets a sear, then flip it and warm it up. It's incredibly tender and juicy, with a satisfying thickness that maintains its tenderness. - Assorted Lean Cuts: Includes upper short rib, loin, and geta kalbi, which is made from Saga beef. The specialty of this restaurant is the sauce-grilled meat. You coat the meat generously with the sauce before grilling, and then enjoy it as is or with the vinegar dipping sauce provided on the table. The meat's richness, umami, and sweetness are perfectly balanced. - Sunny Lettuce: You can wrap it with miso and green onions. - Hormone Assortment: Includes pork small intestine, pork throat cartilage, and honeycomb tripe. I tried this on the server's recommendation, and it was great. You can choose miso or salt seasoning. The freshness of the ingredients stood out in the preparation. There was no unpleasant smell, and you could enjoy the unique texture and umami of the offal. If you find it a bit fatty, dipping it in the vinegar sauce helps cut through the richness. - Cold Noodles: We shared cold noodles as a refreshing way to end the meal. It was light and easy to finish, even after eating a lot of meat. - Amaou Strawberry Ice Cream: The gentle sweetness of the strawberries was soothing. Overall, every dish was satisfying, with high-quality meat and fresh offal being the highlights. The cost performance is also excellent. While we ordered mainly assorted platters this time, individual cuts of meat are also available. However, the platters include the chef's recommendations for the day, making them a must-try! When we arrived, there were only a few customers, but by the time we left, it was almost full. Despite opening just last November, it's clear that the restaurant has already established itself in the area. The ventilation system was excellent, as there was no lingering smell of grilled meat on our clothes when we returned home. We had a very satisfying and elegant yakiniku experience!

The other day, on a whim, I tried glamping and it was still cold, haha. The tent had air conditioning, but the grilling area was outside, so it was chilly. While talking about this, a friend invited me to a yakiniku restaurant in Azabu, under the Oakwood Hotel, where you can enjoy a glamping atmosphere. Of course, I said yes! I had been curious about the Oakwood Hotel as well. I haven't been able to go far for a while, so I'm interested in nice spots nearby. I was excited to experience the glamping atmosphere - what could it be like? The restaurant's interior had a lovely atmosphere, with wood-themed tables, stylish chairs, and fluffy blankets draped over the chairs. It was exactly as I had heard - a beautiful setting. The lighting was also very nice. The interior design concept of the restaurant is "a Japanese-style yakiniku restaurant created by Nordic people in London," as written in the restroom. Even though it was indoors, we felt like we were outdoors, probably just us, haha. By the way, the restroom was also very tastefully decorated, which was nice. Wrapped in a fluffy blanket, we enjoyed a glass of wine while waiting for our friend to arrive. Orders were placed through a touch panel. Our friend arrived about 5 minutes later, and during those 5 minutes, more and more customers came in. It's amazing how popular stylish restaurants are. Now, let's cheers. We started with my favorite harami and grilled it to perfection. The tabletop charcoal grill was excellent, with a smoke exhaust duct that worked really well, so it wasn't smoky at all. Great! The meat was marinated, but the "umami salt and vinegar sauce" on the table is also recommended for a refreshing taste. The staff recommended it to us, and I was excited to try it, but the marinated meat was delicious enough on its own, so I almost forgot about it halfway through (my forgetfulness acting up again). Every part of the harami was delicious! Among them, the spicy marinated piece on the front plate was particularly good. It had a nice chewy texture. We also ordered "Kobukuro" and "Mino" as sashimi, as it was recommended. Both had a good texture typical of sashimi. We enjoyed red and white wine, changing colors, while savoring the wine. "Senmai" was served as sashimi, but we decided to grill it instead! And lastly, I had the "naengmyeon" as a finishing touch! I've been loving naengmyeon recently. It was a larger portion than I expected, so we shared it with my friend. It was delicious until the end. The chairs were very comfortable, which is rare in yakiniku restaurants, so I felt luxurious throughout. Grateful for the invitation.

As winter comes to an end and the weekends become rainy, I decided to go out for some delicious yakiniku since there was nowhere else to go. I visited Yakiniku ARATA located on the first floor of the newly opened Oakwood Hotel, just a short walk from Azabu-Juban Station. The restaurant seemed small from the entrance, but it was actually quite spacious inside. Despite arriving shortly after opening, the place was already bustling with customers. I ordered the Harami assortment marinated in sauce, a ginger ale highball, and grilled beef intestine, among other items. The restaurant prides itself on its marinated meats, delicious sauce, and hydrogen water. I enjoyed the homemade ginger ale, crispy grilled beef intestine, and flavorful Harami assortment. The beef liver was thick and flavorful, the grilled beef intestine had a satisfying crunch, and the lamb was tender and mild. I also tried the heart, tripe, and harami sashimi, all of which were delicious. The restaurant also offered a selection of quality drinks, including shochu and warm sake. I finished my meal with cold noodles and ice cream, feeling completely satisfied. Overall, the food was delicious, and I look forward to trying more grilled beef on my next visit.

The restaurant is so stylish and lovely that you wouldn't think it's a yakiniku place. The smell doesn't bother you at all, and the ventilation is good. The meat is very fresh and reasonably priced for this area. The sashimi melts in your mouth, and the grilled meat like kalbi is exceptionally delicious. The salad is also very tasty with the dressing. The cold noodles at the end were a satisfying way to finish the meal. The staff are friendly and create a cozy atmosphere.

A rare shop in Asakusa where you can order using a tablet. The ordering system is simple and easy, like those cheap izakayas along the countryside roads. The atmosphere is casual but cozy, with a bright and comfortable interior. Here are some of the delicious dishes we ordered: - Kalbi: reliably good - Harami: goes really well with the vinegar provided - Natto Kimchi: they gave us two pieces of Korean seaweed as a bonus - Mino sashimi: the sauce was delicious and matched perfectly - Yukkejang soup: the best, rich and flavorful I would love to visit again with a larger group. They seem to be open until late at night, making it convenient for families, couples, or larger parties.

I visited a new yakiniku restaurant in Asakusa and was disappointed. The meat had a strong smell and the sauce wasn't very tasty. I wondered if any of the meat was actually domestic. The grilling was also subpar. Additionally, the service was lacking, with our orders forgotten multiple times. Overall, it was a letdown.
