First visit! I checked the reviews on Tabelog and Google before going. It seems to be a popular restaurant with long lines, so I decided to go around 4:20 pm to avoid waiting in the cold. When I arrived, there were already quite a few people inside the restaurant, surprising me. There were even some people dining alone. By around 5 pm, the restaurant was full. Excited for my first dining out and first yakiniku in a while, being pregnant and avoiding alcohol and caffeine, I was happy to see a variety of soft drinks available. I chose a non-alcoholic Chardonnay-like drink. I ordered Oi Kimchi, Tan Shio, Upper Kalbi, Upper Harami, and Upper Loins, I think. The Oi Kimchi was refreshing and delicious. The Tan Shio came with more slices than usual, and the saltiness was mild. The upper cuts of meat were incredibly tender and tasty, with no greasiness and a delicious sauce. I was surprised by how much I could enjoy the meat, as I couldn't eat any during my morning sickness. The meat quality was excellent, and the mild seasoning was nice. I then ordered more delicious meat and ended with pork belly and bean sprout namul. The namul was fresh and went well with the meat. The pork belly was also mildly seasoned. Being pregnant, I cooked the meat well, but it remained delicious and tender. I was truly impressed. The best part about this restaurant is that the food arrives quickly after ordering, which must contribute to the fast turnover. There are plenty of staff members as well. They currently have a 90-minute time limit, but we were satisfied and finished within an hour. Despite eating a lot of good meat, the bill was around 8,000 yen for two people (my husband had alcohol). I'd like to try how much we can spend on a more budget-friendly meal. When we left around 5:30 pm, there were already many people waiting outside the restaurant, and the sign-up sheet was full of names. I didn't know there was such a popular place in Hasunuma. My husband even said, "Let's come here once a month!" The cost performance is excellent. Highly satisfying!
