Located about a 2-minute walk from JR Kitasenju Station West Exit, Kitasenju Marui is home to Yakiniku Honpo Pyua Kitasenju Marui store on the 9th floor, known as Senju Masayasu. This yakiniku restaurant offers safe and reliable domestic beef primarily sourced from JA Zennoh Meat Foods. They are committed to using only domestic ingredients such as beef, pork, chicken, offal, rice, and vegetables. Popular items include the perfectly sweet and savory Wagyu kalbi, juicy domestic harami, tender and healthy Wagyu thigh meat, and premium tongue salt. JA Zennoh Meat Foods is a comprehensive meat sales company established in 2006, fully owned by JA Zennoh. They connect producers and retailers, ensuring the collection and processing of ingredients to provide consumers with safe and reliable beef and pork products. They are one of the top companies in handling domestic meat products. Additionally, they actively operate directly managed yakiniku restaurants to understand consumer needs (13 stores in Japan and 2 in Hong Kong). Yakiniku Pyua has 7 locations, including Shinagawa, Ikebukuro, Otemachi, Marui Mizoguchi, Kitasenju Marui, Kanda Bridge Sakura Terrace, and Kanda. It is recommended to make reservations through the official website for the best deals. When checking the all-you-can-drink course (with standard all-you-can-drink) for 5,500 yen, it seems that those who reserve through Tabelog will receive a larger portion of Kimchi 2 kinds... What's going on with that? Visiting around 1 pm on a weekday, I found a board outside the restaurant displaying the daily lunch specials. Daily Lunch A: Black Wagyu offcuts Daily Lunch B: Black Wagyu lean meat Daily Lunch C: Premium Black Wagyu lean meat. Each lunch set comes with a selection of Black Wagyu special loin, Kimchi, Namul, and free rice refills. Upon entering and stating that I was dining alone, I was seated at a table. Although there are around 62 seats, it was quite empty at this time. Looking at the menu, Daily Lunch A is 1,100 yen, B is 1,700 yen, and C is 2,300 yen. I pondered whether it was more worth it to add a large portion of meat for 300 yen in A or to go for B... The Daily Lunch B at 1,700 yen had well-marbled, generously sliced lean meat in five portions. The meat was tender with the sinew properly trimmed. I felt satisfied beyond the price point. Additionally, the evening all-you-can-drink party course seems intriguing.
