【Nearest Station】 1-minute walk from Kiyosumishirakawa Station Exit A1【Cost】 Approximately JPY 43,000 (for 4 people)【Reservation Difficulty】A (Monthly phone and online reservations, but highly competitive)【Overview】This is a difficult-to-reserve restaurant, but with some effort on the phone, you can secure a reservation for this Yakiniku spot. Tabelog rating: 4.28 (at the time of visit) Tabelog Award Bronze for 5 consecutive years (as of 2025) Ranked among the top 100 Yakiniku restaurants for 5 consecutive years.Founded in 1974, the restaurant originally operated in Morishita but moved to its current location in March 2019. Previously, it had a smoky atmosphere typical of street Yakiniku, but now it features a stylish exterior and interior! While it used to be a place where you had to wait in line, now reservations are only accepted by phone.Despite being a difficult-to-reserve restaurant, it’s fair as it’s not just filled with regulars, and with some effort, you can get a reservation! Recently, they have also started accepting reservations via table check. However, it’s rumored that going with regulars might enhance your experience!The signature dish is undoubtedly the Beef Tongue! With a delicious salty seasoning, this beef tongue is thin yet has a great texture and rich fat, making it truly unique and incredibly delicious!Other specialties include Yukke and Egg Soup.Additionally, there’s a special Yakiniku menu called Jimon Mori that requires advance reservation, featuring luxurious cuts from special brands like Matsusaka Beef and Omi Beef, so be sure to mention your interest in advance!Be careful when ordering; if you don’t order salt first, you won’t be able to request it after the second round, as only sauce will be available!!!【Menu】SaltBeef Tongue (JPY 3,800) for 5 servingsOutside Skirt (JPY 6,000) per personMountain Chain Tripe (JPY 1,100) per personSauceLoin (JPY 1,500)Half Yukke (JPY 1,400)Kimchi Assortment (JPY 1,600)Large Rice (JPY 500) and Medium Rice (JPY 400)Egg Soup (JPY 600)Tegutan (JPY 1,200)Korean Perilla Leaves (JPY 400)Drinks (JPY 400) for 5 cupsAn additional 16% for consumption tax (10%) and reservation fee (6%)【Impressions】The beef tongue here is indeed delicious! The outside skirt may not always be available depending on the day, but I’ve been able to enjoy it every time so far. However, at JPY 6,000 per serving, it’s quite a price! Considering the seasoning and meat quality, it feels like you can only get this flavor here!I held off on the Jimon Mori this time. I always end up not finishing it and feel bad about taking leftovers home.For our family of four, the amount we ordered this time felt just right, but maybe a bit too much. Next time, it might be better to skip the Yukke and Loin for us…The egg soup is delicious, and I order it every time, but the Tegutan soup was a first! It was less spicy than I expected and very tasty! I think I’ll be ordering that from now on!If you’re going to order the Jimon Mori, I think two servings of beef tongue, along with one serving each of outside skirt and mountain chain tripe, would be just enough to enjoy the Jimon Mori for my family! I’m writing this down as a rare memo! It was a great meal!
