Yakiniku Kuto Ikebukuro is a restaurant located a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station West Exit, and what's amazing about it is that it is a store that buys a whole A5 Wagyu cow. You can enjoy A5 Wagyu beef in course meals with all-you-can-drink options starting from 4,500 yen, which is surprising. We ordered the "Hana Course" for 6,500 yen (tax included), which includes a yakiniku course with rare cuts of A5 Wagyu beef, along with all-you-can-drink. The highest grade A5 Wagyu beef is used, allowing you to enjoy the rich flavor of the meat. The course includes 3 types of kimchi, upper tongue with salt, A5 Wagyu kalbi, A5 Wagyu loin, harami, and a special selection of rare cuts of A5 Wagyu beef. The meat is flavorful and the sauces complement the taste well. They also serve A5 Wagyu beef tendon stew, refreshing cold noodles, and offer the option to switch to specially raised Tsukuba chicken for those who are not fond of Wagyu beef. The all-you-can-drink menu is priced at 2,000 yen, making the full course only 4,500 yen! The reason why the Wagyu beef course is so reasonably priced is due to their unique procurement route. The restaurant has a veteran chef with 30 years of experience who carefully selects the ingredients, ensuring confidence in the taste and quality. The service is polite and the restaurant is perfect for gatherings with friends, colleagues, girls' night out, family, or even dates.

I want to eat yakiniku in Ikebukuro with an old friend, so I searched for a delicious restaurant from various sources. I found a hidden gem not far from the station, where the air immediately felt better. The place was like a cozy hideaway, and we started with a refreshing draft beer. The Premium Malt's beer was outstanding, and the Namul was fresh and delicious. The beef tendon stew was made with A5 rank meat, and you could taste the richness. The sweetness of the vegetables blended in perfectly, creating a harmonious flavor. The marinated carrots added a delicate sweetness to the tender meat. The middle rib kalbi was incredibly tender and melted in your mouth. The sirloin slices were beyond comparison in terms of marbling, and dipping them in egg was a unique experience. The pork wiener had a satisfying crunch, and the fat brought back memories of childhood feasts. The tongue salt was also excellent, with a crispy texture and a hint of lemon. Every bite of meat was incredibly delicious, with a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. The highball was too good, making it hard to stop. The meat sashimi topped with sea urchin was a combination of rich uni flavor and perfectly sliced meat. The contrast was a testament to the high-quality yakiniku experience. Overall, I was completely satisfied and would highly recommend this restaurant to others. As a resident of Ekoda, I consider myself super lucky to have found this place.

I made a reservation and visited the restaurant. Since my schedule ended earlier than expected, I asked if it was possible to arrive earlier than the reserved time, and they kindly agreed. This time, I ordered the cheapest Shin-Kuto course. The course included kimchi assortment, tongue, harami, kalbi, loin, beef tendon stew, chicken thigh, chicken breast, stone-grilled bibimbap, and all-you-can-drink ice cream for 6480 yen, which was a great deal! There were three types of kimchi, all of which were quite spicy but perfect for pairing with alcohol. The tongue was moderately thick and had a good texture. The assortment of lean cuts was all delicious, especially the loin. The beef tendon stew had plenty of tender tendon and a tasty light soup. You can choose between chicken hormones or meat for the chicken dish, and this time I chose chicken meat. The portion was quite generous, and I was about 80% full at this point. For the finale, you can choose from cold noodles, stone-grilled bibimbap, etc. You can also choose the amount of rice as small, regular, or large depending on your appetite, which was nice! This time, I ordered the large portion. Lastly, I enjoyed vanilla ice cream. The staff were mostly foreigners, so sometimes it was difficult to understand their conversations, but they were polite and helpful. I had a bit of trouble paying with my card at the checkout, so I was a little worried... The restaurant has semi-private booths separated by curtains, making it a great choice for dates. The location of the elevator to the restaurant was a bit hard to find, but I eventually found it by going next to the Seven-Eleven.

I was looking for a yakiniku restaurant in Ikebukuro and found a place with a wide variety of menu items from Japanese beef to pork, offal, and seafood. My friend who loves pork belly kept ordering more, but I personally preferred the thick-cut beef tongue. The slow charcoal grilling really enhanced the flavor! We also had beef tartare, Korean seaweed, lettuce, pickles, kimchi, thick-cut beef tongue, Japanese beef ribs, sea urchin beef sushi, bean sprout soup, ice cream, and rice. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The atmosphere of the restaurant was very pleasant, with a calm semi-private room and very friendly staff. We ordered a weekday limited course, and for that price, it felt like a great deal to have all-you-can-drink and delicious meat. The meat displayed on the stairs was so impressive that I couldn't help but take a picture. Although the quality of the meat looked good, I felt that there was less sweetness coming from the fat, maybe due to individual differences. I thought there might not be enough meat, so I looked at the menu to order more, but I couldn't find the usual cuts like kalbi, and I wished there were more options for additional meat aside from the course. Overall, it was a great restaurant, and I will definitely visit again!

This yakiniku restaurant is great for gatherings, dates, and drinking parties as you can enjoy good quality meat at a reasonable price. The staircase platter is particularly impressive, allowing you to taste 8 different types of meat at once. It is recommended for days when you want to enjoy various cuts. The meat is grilled over charcoal, giving it a wonderful aroma. The "Yukke ikura don" with a generous amount of ikura on top is a must-try, with the combination of flavorful meat and ikura creating a luxurious feeling. It may be a bit tricky to find the entrance if you are visiting for the first time, but it is located near a Seven Eleven. Once you go past it and take the elevator to the 4th floor, you will arrive. Despite being close to the station, it has a hidden gem atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit! #Kiwami Yakiniku #Ikebukuro Yakiniku #Ikebukuro Gourmet #Ikebukuro West Exit Gourmet #Ikebukuro West Exit Yakiniku #Ikebukuro Drinking #Ikebukuro Dinner #Ikebukuro Date #Ikebukuro Dining #Tokyo Yakiniku #Tokyo Yakiniku Gourmet

The food was delicious! However, the service was quite slow. Even though there were enough staff, I felt like I was being forgotten a few times and had to double-check. The dessert plate took too long to arrive, which was disappointing. I had made a reservation in advance, but it seemed like they weren't prepared for it.

Ikebukuro Station 1a exit, 1 minute walk. A yakiniku restaurant with great value for money where you can also enjoy rare cuts of meat! If you visit around 8:30 pm on weekdays, the restaurant is quite crowded. The interior is divided into private-like spaces with curtains separating each table, allowing for a semi-private dining experience. HANA Course with all-you-can-drink: 6980 yen - Kimchi assortment - Meat assortment including tongue, salt, A5 kalbi, A5 loin, tongue kalbi, harami, 2 types of rare cuts, 2 types of select brand chicken - Specialty Japanese beef tendon stew - Choice of finishing dish: stone-grilled bibimbap, cold noodles, or kuppap - Mini dessert As I enjoyed some kakuteki with beer, the sparkling meats were beautifully arranged and served. From high-quality lean meat to sweet and tender cuts like rib roast, there were a total of 9 different types of meat. The beef tendon stew was comforting with plenty of tender meat in a sweetly seasoned soup. Delicious! For the finishing dish, I recommend the cold noodles. They were delicious and refreshing, and I finished them in no time. The all-you-can-drink menu includes popular options like Premium Malt, highball, shochu, sour, wine, and sake, as well as a variety of cocktails, ensuring everyone is satisfied. The staff were all very kind and the service was prompt. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

"IKEBUKURO's best cost performance in Yakiniku" A hidden gem Yakiniku restaurant within a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station West Exit, "KIWAMI Yakiniku Kudo" buys a whole A5 rank Japanese beef, ensuring stable meat quality. Rare cuts grilled over charcoal have a melt-in-your-mouth texture. This time, we ordered the Staircase Platter and a la carte, allowing us to enjoy nearly 300g of meat per person for under 8,000 yen, including rare cuts. The cozy atmosphere with semi-private booths lets you enjoy your meal without worrying about your surroundings."

Today, I went to this restaurant! Everything was so delicious! The menu had a lot of options, so we ended up ordering a lot, haha. The cold noodles were really tasty and I finished them quickly. I'd love to go back again if I have the chance! (*^ω^*)

I used the all-you-can-eat course. Even though it was a weekday during Golden Week, it was lively and had a good atmosphere like a yakiniku restaurant. For the all-you-can-eat, you order from your smartphone by scanning a QR code. The ordering site is confusing because it mixes up all-you-can-eat and regular menu items. It might be better to have table tablets for the type of enjoyment where everyone decides together what to order, like in a yakiniku restaurant.

Located in the Ikebukuro Station West Exit area, KIWAMI Yakiniku Kuto specializes in Hitachi beef A5 rank. It is a 1-minute walk from Exit 1a and Exit 1b of the station. The restaurant is known for its high-quality courses, with most customers opting for them. The all-you-can-drink option is only 2000 yen for 3 drinks, making it a great deal. The HANA course, which includes a meat staircase platter and all-you-can-drink, is a popular choice. The kimchi platter includes kimchi made with Chinese cabbage, cucumber, and daikon, with a refreshing taste. The meat platter features a variety of cuts, including popular choices like harami, loin, and kalbi, as well as rare cuts like rib cap and thick-cut tongue. The specialty beef tendon stew is hearty and flavorful, while the stone bibimbap is a satisfying choice. Other options include cold noodles, vegetable soup, and spicy beef stew.

It had been a while since I had dinner with my friends, so we decided to go for yakiniku in Ikebukuro at a restaurant that caught our attention. The spacious box-type sofa seats were very comfortable. We opted for the slightly extravagant HANA course priced at 6,500 yen, which included A5 wagyu beef and all-you-can-drink. We started with a toast of plum wine and enjoyed the variety of kimchi dishes. The A5 wagyu beef sushi was incredibly tender and flavorful. The highlight of the meal was the meat staircase featuring various cuts of beef, including rare cuts like rib cap and tatem. The beef tendon stew was a must-try dish, and we ended the meal with refreshing cold noodles. The all-you-can-drink course starting at 4,500 yen was a great value. Overall, it was a fun and delicious dinner experience filled with laughter and good food.

The yakiniku restaurant located in a mixed-use building in Ikebukuro seems to cater to a younger crowd. The HANA course, which includes all-you-can-drink with Premium Malt beer, is priced at 6500 yen including tax, which is quite reasonable. The drinks are all served in the same glass, and the meat platter is served all at once in a staircase arrangement. The built-in grill on the table uses gas canister heating, which I saw for the first time, but it provides stable heat. It's easy to enjoy grilling the meat to your liking without having to worry about anyone else. The premium cuts like upper tongue salt, kalbi, harami, loin cream, and shinsin are all A5 grade and are calculated per person. Since the meat is served raw, I felt a bit concerned about leaving it out for too long, so I quickly grilled and ate it. Personally, I found the chicken tenderloin and chicken belly with their firm texture and refreshing umami flavor to be delicious. The meat sushi is also included, and it's recommended to eat the fatty cuts with wasabi. Side dishes like kimchi assortment and beef tendon stew are also delicious. If you want to fully enjoy the all-you-can-drink, this amount of food volume is just right. I chose the stone bibimbap for the finale and enjoyed the yuzu sherbet to refresh my palate. If you're a woman who enjoys alcohol, you'll definitely be satisfied. The empty plates and glasses are promptly cleared without having to ask, and the service, though athletic, was not bad. It would be even better if the variety of drinks in the all-you-can-drink menu could be increased a bit more.

It's been a while since I had dinner in Ikebukuro. I visited a yakiniku restaurant that my friend had made a reservation for. It's located near Rikkyo Street in Ikebukuro West Exit, an area I'm not familiar with as I usually use the East or West exit towards the Rosa Kaikan. I walked from the underground and it was just a short walk from the C3 exit. The restaurant is on the 4th floor of a building, with a discreet sign that gives off a vibe of being known to those in the know. I had the HANA course with all-you-can-drink for 6,500 yen (tax included). - Premium Malt beer. It's nice to have a choice of beer brand, but I wish they had poured it into a beer-specific glass instead of the regular highball glass. - Kimchi assortment: included oi kimchi, napa cabbage kimchi, and kakuteki. The kimchi had a crunchy and large cut, not too spicy and refreshing. It was easy to eat with a flavor that suits the Japanese palate. - Assorted meats: included upper tongue salt, kalbi, harami, loin, two rare cuts (crimi and shinsin), chicken neck, chicken thigh, and meat sushi. The meats were brought out all at once, beautifully arranged and presented. Each piece was grilled individually and enjoyed with the accompanying sweet sauce, lemon juice, and wasabi. The rare cuts were especially delicious, with a light and sweet fat that paired well with the wasabi. The cuts were large and visually appealing. I prefer to enjoy a little bit of good meat at a time, so this style really appealed to me. The chicken meat sushi and chicken cuts were also excellent, providing a nice break from the richness of the other meats. - Beef tendon stew: the vegetables were cooked tender with the beef tendon, creating a flavorful and comforting dish. - Stone bibimbap: I chose the stone bibimbap as the finale, which was a satisfying and filling end to the meal. The sizzling hot stone created a delicious crispy rice crust. - Yuzu sherbet: a refreshing dessert that can be enjoyed even after a hearty meat meal. It was delicious. With the all-you-can-drink option including beer at this price point, it was a very satisfying experience to enjoy high-quality meat. It may feel slightly lacking for those who prefer a more substantial and volume-focused meal, but it's more than enough for those who want to enjoy good meat casually with drinks, especially for women. The drink selection for the all-you-can-drink was not fully available as listed on the menu, but it was satisfactory for me. Despite not being in a prominent location, the restaurant was clearly popular with customers continuously arriving. If you want to enjoy good meat casually without worrying too much about the price, this place is highly recommended. I hope you have the chance to enjoy the well-balanced course they offer! It's now one of my favorite spots for dining in Ikebukuro. I will definitely remember it for future visits.

☆Recommended Points☆①Impressive staircase platter with 6 types of Wagyu②Good cost performance with A5 Wagyu and all-you-can-drink for 6,500 yen【Menu】"HANA Course (6,500 yen)"・Assorted Kimchi・Top Tongue with Salt・A5 Kalbi・Harami・A5 Ribeye・A5 premium rare cuts platter・Specialty! Wagyu and Beef Tendon Stew・A5 Wagyu Sushi・Brand Chicken Seseri, Chicken Harami・Dessert: Vanilla Ice Cream【Photos 1-7】"Staircase Platter"The HANA course we ordered this time includes all the meats served in this staircase platter. The impressive platter includes Sasami, Tomosankaku, Top Ribeye, Top Kalbi, Top Harami, Top Tongue, Chicken Seseri, and at the bottom level, Chicken Harami and Wagyu Beef Sushi. Sasami is the most tender and fatty part with a rich sweetness that pairs well with wasabi. Tomosankaku is also fatty, but with a bit of red meat flavor, best enjoyed with ponzu sauce. Top Ribeye has a good balance of lean and fatty meat, allowing you to taste the best of both worlds. Top Kalbi is incredibly juicy, with meat juices overflowing when you bite into it. Top Harami is a tender cut with a rich umami flavor from the lean meat. Top Tongue is a slightly thick cut with a chewy texture and strong sweetness. Chicken Seseri is a large piece with cartilage, offering a crunchy texture and a satisfying volume of meat. On the other hand, Chicken Harami is fatty and juicy. And the meat sushi has a rich umami flavor from the lean meat, pairing excellently with wasabi. The fact that this impressive staircase platter is included in a course in the 6,000 yen range is honestly a great deal.【Photo 8】"Specialty! Wagyu and Beef Tendon Stew"During the course, we were served this beef tendon stew. The tender beef tendons were simmered to perfection, generously mixed with vegetables, and slightly sweet in flavor, making it a great match with rice. It was a hearty dish with plenty of ingredients.【Summary】Located next to Marui Ikebukuro New Building, a short walk towards Rikkyo University from Ikebukuro Station, is the yakiniku restaurant "KIWAMI Yakiniku Kyuto." In Ikebukuro, known for its hustle and bustle, it can be a bit challenging to find a calm restaurant, but this hidden gem of a yakiniku restaurant manages to provide a tranquil atmosphere. I visited on a weekday at 8:00 PM, and the restaurant was quite full, especially the semi-private rooms were almost fully occupied, so it is recommended to make a reservation if you want to use them. Being able to enjoy the highest grade A5 Wagyu and all-you-can-drink from the 5,000 yen range is truly cost-effective. Although the building is a bit old, when looking for a place to dine in a slightly calmer atmosphere in Ikebukuro, this restaurant should definitely be considered.

KIWAMI Yakiniku Kuto - About 5 minutes walk from Ikebukuro Station - Budget: 6500 yen per person Ordered Menu: - HANA Course: 6500 yen including tax Course Contents: - Kimchi assortment - Premium tongue salt - Premium kalbi - Premium harami - Premium loin - Tomo triangle - Sasami - Simmered wagyu tendon - Wagyu beef sushi - Chicken seseri - Chicken harami - Choice of ending dish (Bibimbap, cold noodles, kookpa, yukkejangkookpa - this time cold noodles) - Ice cream The meat presented in a staircase-like arrangement looks visually appealing and gives a special feeling! Satisfying to be able to try various types of meat! Although there is plenty of marbling like in the kalbi, it was refreshing and easy to eat overall. Especially the premium tongue salt was delicious. The simmered wagyu tendon had tender meat and a generous portion, leaving you feeling full. Visited on a weekday evening and the restaurant was crowded. It might be safer to make a reservation. The staff's service was good, and we were able to enjoy our meal comfortably. Ordering was easy with the mobile order system, which is especially appreciated during this pandemic. Thank you for the meal.

Recently, it has been getting warmer, and today I went to dinner in Ikebukuro with my younger brother. We heard about a super great deal course near the station and decided to check it out. The New Kudou course with all-you-can-drink for 5500 yen is such a steal! All-you-can-drink with yakiniku at this price... I was worried that the quality of the meat might not be good, but the meat was actually very delicious! I was surprised. We started with a toast with the all-you-can-drink beer! - Kimchi Assortment: The kimchi was spicy with a strong flavor, which paired well with the beer. - Tan Shio (tongue with salt): The first dish was the classic Tan Shio. It was like top-grade tongue with lemon sauce. Beautiful. It was tender and delicious. - Wagyu Kalbi, Wagyu Sirloin & Harami Assortment: They carefully selected good cuts for this assortment. The rich Kalbi was enjoyed with ponzu sauce. It was nice to have different ways to enjoy the meat. The sirloin was also refreshing and tasty. - Wagyu Beef Tendon Stew: A rare stew dish at a yakiniku restaurant. It had a rich flavor, which was just right. It had a taste that makes you crave for white rice. - Mino (beef stomach) & Chicken: Normally, it comes with two types of horumon (offal), but the staff offered to change it to chicken as well. We asked for Mino and chicken. The chicken thigh meat was grilled well and refreshing. The Mino was a good taste to finish the grilling. - Stone Bibimbap: The classic finish to a yakiniku meal, stone bibimbap. The rice and namul were full of ingredients and very filling! It had a traditional level of seasoning and we finished it all. Finally, we had vanilla ice cream and that concluded today's yakiniku dinner. The portion was not too much, and eating a variety of good cuts little by little is the way to go at this age. Laugh. This course was really cost-effective. I'm satisfied because I could try various types of meat!

Yakiniku Kuto 03-6914-2228 4F, Sambon Building, 3-29-2 Nishi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo Located just a 3-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station, this yakiniku restaurant offers A5 wagyu beef. We ordered the New Kuto course with all-you-can-drink for 5,500 yen. Since they buy the whole cow, you can enjoy rare cuts of meat at a good price. The well-balanced course allows you to savor delicious cuts of meat in small portions, making you feel happy. I like that about the course. The kalbi, harami, and loin are lightly seasoned. The thick kalbi has a good chewiness and is A5 grade. The harami was tender and delicious, probably my favorite today. Next, I really liked the liver! It was delicious when cooked to a soft texture. The honeycomb tripe has a white miso flavor, tender and easy to chew. The beef tendon stew was tender and the vegetables were not too soft, which I liked. For dessert, I chose yuzu sherbet. It was refreshing and delicious with lots of fruit pieces. Even though the 90-minute all-you-can-drink had ended, they still offered tea, which was nice. [Course contents] - Assorted 3 types of kimchi - Beef tongue with salt - A5 wagyu kalbi - Harami - A5 wagyu loin - Kuto's specialty! A5 wagyu beef tendon stew - Wagyu offal (liver, honeycomb tripe) - Finisher (stone bibimbap, kookpa, cold noodles, choice of rice dish) - Mini dessert [Atmosphere] The interior is surrounded by wood, with private and semi-private rooms available for a more intimate dining experience. [Directions] Take the Ikebukuro Station 1b exit and it's on the 4th floor of the building with a Seven Eleven, about 30 seconds away. It's about a 5-minute walk from the west exit of Ikebukuro Station.
