Located a 4-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station East Exit, we had a year-end party at a meat bar. Although I wasn't the organizer this time, I was intrigued by the variety of world beers, so we opted for the premium domestic black wagyu beef course priced at 4700 yen. We started with a toast with Belgium's Frimse beer. The first dish was a delightful assorted vegetable salad. The soy-based Japanese dressing with fried onions topping was a nice touch, and the vegetables were fresh and crunchy. The Caprese with fruit tomatoes was delicious, especially the basil sauce. The garlic edamame was soy sauce-based and packed with garlic flavor. It was fun to find hints of Japanese flavors within the Western dishes. The daily special dish assortment was surprisingly lavish. The melt-in-your-mouth salmon confit and roast pork with yuzu pepper were highlights. The anchovy liver pate with baguette, confit chicken gizzards, and beef wasabi were my favorites. We paired it with a full-bodied French red wine, Junk Road Mass. The carpaccio of vinegared salmon with Hokkaido octopus and avocado was beautifully arranged. The spicy chicken with Sichuan pepper made us crave for beer. The gnocchi all'arrabbiata was so delicious that we fought over it (laughs). Lastly, a performance where they freshly sliced roast beef in front of us! The thick slices of roast beef were tender and satisfying. Despite being a meat bar, they offer a good balance of fish and vegetables, making it a charming spot to enjoy a variety of dishes.

I found this restaurant in Ikebukuro through Google for lunch. I didn't want to wait in line, so I arrived a little before the opening at 11:30. There was no one there yet, so I was able to enter the restaurant after a short wait. I ordered the roast beef bowl set. The roast beef was thinly sliced but tender, and there was a generous amount of meat in the center of the bowl. It was a delicious roast beef bowl. Later, four more groups arrived, so it seems like a popular restaurant, even though it may be a bit hard to find.

It was my first visit to this restaurant. We were the first customers on September 15th. We chose this place because we wanted to eat meat. Since it was my first time, I didn't know what to order, so I started with some classic menu items. The appetizers were delicious and raised my expectations! We enjoyed various meat dishes such as sausages, roast beef, and steak. Personally, I really liked the roast chicken.

I ordered the premium wagyu roast beef bowl for lunch. It was priced at 1300 yen (excluding tax), but the meat was tender and well worth the price. If you pay in cash, you can get a small discount, so it's better to bring cash when you go!

A convenient location near Ikebukuro Station. The price of bringing your own wine is only 770 yen per person, which is incredibly cheap, making it a place worth revisiting. It's a great spot for a casual gathering with friends where you can relax and have a good time. The roast beef made with Australian beef was delicious and hearty, even better than Japanese beef in my opinion. The only downside was that the beef tataki and wasabi were served together as an appetizer, which was a bit overwhelming. Overall, it was tasty and I will definitely visit again.

I went to "Niku Bar Bar & Grill Motto Ikebukuro" in Ikebukuro! - Special selected black wagyu roast beef bowl 1,300 - Lunch set (free on weekdays) 150 - Two-color bowl (AUS roast beef & roast pork) 1,000 - Extra rice 100 First, I ordered the black wagyu roast beef bowl. The meat melts in your mouth and is incredibly delicious! It's irresistible and definitely the best roast beef bowl I've ever had. The rice was cooked just right and complemented the roast beef perfectly, elevating the dish's deliciousness. Even the side namul was tasty and refreshing, making the lunch set fantastic. It was so delicious that I couldn't resist trying the two-color bowl as well.

I visited the Meat Bar Bar & Grill motto Ikebukuro, a 4-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station, for a slightly luxurious lunch. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and stylish, like a cafe, and the menu offers a variety of options ranging from dishes under 1000 yen to steak. I tried the Special Black Wagyu Roast Beef Bowl (comes with salad, miso soup, and a small side dish) for 1300 yen, with a drink set for an additional 200 yen. The thinly sliced black Wagyu roast beef, moist and tender, was generously topped on the bowl, accompanied by a soy sauce-based sauce with a hint of onion and garlic, served with wasabi on the side. It was perfect with rice and I finished it in no time. The coffee in the drink set was also delicious, making it a great place to leisurely enjoy lunch.

It's not just a regular roast beef bowl, but the fact that it's made with "Japanese Black Wagyu" beef is the highlight! And at this price, it's a great deal! Once you taste it, you'll understand! The quality of the meat is different - it's tender, moist, and full of rich beef flavor. It has a smooth texture and is easy to chew. The amount and flavor of the sauce is just right - not too salty or overpowering, allowing the delicious flavor of the meat to shine through. It comes with salad, side dishes, and miso soup on weekdays, which is a great value. The miso soup is also just the right balance of flavors. Enjoy a latte after your meal for a cozy finish!

I entered the restaurant during lunchtime. I hesitated between ordering the lunch menu or the dinner menu, but ended up choosing the dinner menu because I wanted to try it. Many of the customers around me seemed to be having roast beef bowls or something similar. If I go there again, I will order the lunch menu and provide a proper review. I had trouble paying with my card for lunch.

Today's lunch, I felt like eating meat so I came here. I found a nice meat lunch spot in Ikebukuro recently. The main dish seems to be roast beef bowl. It was 12:30 on a weekday, with 2 groups of customers already seated and no waiting. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor of Torinoko, known for their chicken broth ramen. The interior is stylish and spacious. I was seated at a table by the window. [Ordered items] Various diced steak - 1,000 yen A beautiful lady brought the food to me. Wow, the meat portion is quite generous. I'm happy. It also came with salad, side dishes, and miso soup, all for 1,000 yen, which I thought was a good deal. The steak had sauce on it and was cooked well but still tender, the kind that goes well with rice. A group of students who arrived before me were enjoying the roast beef bowl. I'll try that next time. Thank you for the meal.

I finally went to a new restaurant now that the state of emergency has been lifted! It was a place known for its bottled beers from around the world and roast beef & meat dishes. I ordered a platter of salami and prosciutto, a roast beef dish, a beef tasting platter, popcorn shrimp, and shrimp and mushroom ajillo! The beef tasting platter included both Japanese and foreign beef, separated by cuts. If I had to choose just one, I would say the Japanese beef was the most delicious. It would have been even better if they had offered not only sauces but also salt and wasabi. Being able to enjoy a variety of beers was also a plus.

I came here looking for roast beef and was able to be seated right away as it wasn't too crowded. I ordered the black wagyu roast beef bowl I was looking for. The meat was sweet, juicy, and very tender. Thanks to the refreshing sauce, I was able to enjoy it until the very end without getting tired of it. I thought it would come out quickly since it wasn't busy, but it took a little longer.

Yesterday's lunch was roast beef bowl with a friend! Originally, we were planning to go to a curry restaurant called "Kasei," but it was temporarily closed due to the state of emergency, so we changed our plans and went to this restaurant instead. Roast beef is quite common, but you don't see roast pork as often, so after a lot of thought, I chose the beef and pork two-color bowl. I decided to add a soft-boiled egg for an extra 100 yen because roast beef bowls are a classic. The sauce was delicious, and it paired well with both the beef and pork, as well as the rice. The beef was packed with the deliciousness of lean meat, while the pork had a savory taste with a bit of fat. It was interesting to compare the two types of meat in terms of flavor and texture. The wasabi added a refreshing kick, which was a nice touch. The fact that it came with soup and salad was also appreciated. I felt like I could have used a bit more food even with the large portion, but overall, I was satisfied! Thank you for the meal.

Today, I was in the mood for meat so I searched and decided on this restaurant. The meat looks delicious! I ordered roast beef, shrimp, pizza, and more. I was looking forward to seeing how the roast beef, priced at 78 yen for 10 grams of Australian beef and 168 yen for Japanese beef, would be served. They placed a large plate on the table for weighing the meat. Despite the restaurant being relatively empty, I felt the service was a bit slow. The food was tasty though.

My cousin found this meat cafe for us. The bright and spacious interior gives off a vibe that would appeal to meat-loving girls. For lunch, I ordered the roast beef bowl and my cousin got the steak lunch. The roast beef bowl was covered with slices of roast beef. The meat was sweet, tender, juicy, and surprisingly soft for lean meat. I was worried about finishing it all because there was so much, but it was delicious and I managed to eat it all. I tried a piece of my cousin's steak, which was tender and cooked just right. It seems like a place where you can enjoy yourself even in the evening. I will definitely visit again.

I went to a meat bar in Ikebukuro with my friends for a quick meal. The place had a cute cafe-like atmosphere that drew me in because they sold roast beef by weight, making it easy to enjoy. They also had a wide selection of drinks, with beers from 18 different countries. I'm not a beer fan, so I opted for a cocktail made with fresh fruits to cheers. The appetizer was roast beef with sesame sauce, anchovy tomato, grilled vegetables, and beef tongue carpaccio. The roast beef was tender and paired well with scallions and wasabi. The anchovy tomato was simple but delicious, and the grilled vegetables were full of flavor. The highlight was the roast beef sold by weight, which you could customize with different sauces. I also tried the gorgonzola gnocchi, roast pork, and was pleasantly surprised by how moist and flavorful the meat was.

Ikebukuro Station is less than 5 minutes away, and this area is bustling with redevelopment, with old buildings being renovated into new ones, showing a different face each time you visit. After visiting Sunshine, I stopped by a shop near a cafe I used to frequent. The shop is on the second floor of a building, with a slightly old staircase leading up to it. Upon opening the door, there is a bar counter in the front, and tables and sofa seats at the back. There are few unnecessary pillars, making it more open than I had imagined. A TV is installed near the ceiling in the center, and on this day, soccer was being broadcasted. It can also be used as a sports bar. - Appetizer: Thinly sliced roast beef with sprouts and sesame dressing. - Caprese with fruit tomatoes: Juicy and sweet fruit tomatoes with classic Genovese sauce. - Beef wasabi: Thinly sliced beef paired with wasabi. It's like the meat version of octopus wasabi from izakaya, and the wasabi flavor is very strong. - Garlic edamame: A dish with a garlic-flavored sauce that is irresistibly delicious and goes well with alcohol. - Grilled vegetables: Broccoli, asparagus, baby corn, bell peppers, grilled simply with oil and salt. Be careful as the cherry tomatoes are hot. - Gorgonzola cheese gnocchi: Gnocchi, a favorite dish, is on the menu, and it's great that there are plenty of non-meat options. The gooey cheese goes well with the gnocchi. - Warm roast pork: Roast pork cooked at the perfect temperature, not too tough, juicy, and tender. Served warm, with a Japanese-style sauce and yuzu pepper for seasoning. - Acqua pazza: A dish with sea bream as the main ingredient, along with mussels, clams, and plenty of vegetables.

If you head slightly towards Sunshine from Ikebukuro East Exit, you'll see that there is a lot of development going on with new buildings being constructed in various places. In one corner of this area, there is a bright and open space meat bar called Bar & Grill motto on the 2nd floor of a building. The seating arrangement is relaxed and natural, with monitors that make you want to linger. The appetizer was thinly sliced roast beef with sprouts and dressing. The meat was delicious. We started with a variety of small dishes, including a Caprese salad with giant tomatoes! The combination of cheese, basil sauce, and tomatoes was excellent. We then tried the beef tongue, which had a strong wasabi kick. It may make your nose tingle, but it's addictive! The garlic edamame was also irresistible. Grilled vegetables with a simple salt seasoning were fresh and colorful. We also tried the Gorgonzola cheese gnocchi, which was rich and tasty. The warm roast pork was tender and juicy, with a light and easy-to-eat fat content. We balanced it out with a seafood dish, the Aqua Pazza, which was full of fresh seafood and flavors. We couldn't resist trying the Affogato for dessert, which was a perfect combination of vanilla ice cream and strong espresso. It was a pleasant surprise to find a relaxing bar in the bustling station area. We look forward to visiting again!

I went to a meat bar located about 5 minutes from Ikebukuro Station. The restaurant is small but bright and clean. I opted for a course menu where you can enjoy plenty of meat. It feels more cost-effective to choose a course rather than ordering individual items. I was pleased with the wide variety of drinks available. I started with a toast with a Coke Highball. Then, I started with a bowl of salad with a mountain of crispy toppings that were deliciously fragrant. Who doesn't love a Caprese salad with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella? It's always a crowd-pleaser. The garlic edamame had a more Japanese touch than Italian, and the texture was just right and delicious. The assorted appetizer plate was amazing! The contents change daily. The texture of the salmon confit, anchovy liver pate, roast pork, and beef wasabi gizzard confit was incredible! I also had a Kahlua milk cocktail. The octopus and salmon carpaccio had plenty of avocado, which was a great combination. The chicken grill had a spicy seasoning that was addictive, but if you eat too much, your lips might tingle. I cooled down with an orange highball. Wrapping the meat in the leaves provided was the right way to eat it! The gnocchi was also delicious. Lastly, the roasted meat was cut at the table. They kindly accommodated my request for thicker slices. It was a fun experience as I don't often see this kind of service. I might come back for lunch next time.

Today, I had a year-end party related to work in Ikebukuro. We went to a meat bar called "motto" which is conveniently located near the station. The interior of the restaurant has a stylish and calm atmosphere. We decided to go with the chef's special course menu. I started with a toast with a Tiger beer from Singapore, which had a refreshing taste. The meal began with a salad, topped with fried onions, followed by a Caprese salad with sweet tomatoes and delicious basil sauce. The garlic edamame with soy sauce seasoning was also a hit. For my second drink, I chose a freshly squeezed lemon sour. The daily recommended dish was a platter of salmon confit, anchovy liver pate, and snail confit. The salmon confit was particularly delicious, with thick and tender meat. The carpaccio of Hokkaido octopus, fatty salmon, avocado, and daikon was beautifully presented. The spicy chicken with Sichuan pepper and garlic chips was a unique and flavorful dish. The gnocchi all'arrabbiata was spicy and paired well with the chewy gnocchi. The highlight of the meal was the roast beef made with Japanese beef, which was tender, sweet, and served with grated ponzu sauce. The manager's lively conversation added to the enjoyable experience. Overall, the top dish of the day was definitely the Japanese beef roast beef. The staff's excellent service and the quality of the food at such a reasonable price make this restaurant a great value.
