I made a reservation for a holiday and arrived around 6 PM, the restaurant was fully booked with reservation guests.YORONIKU at Azabudai Hills is a relatively new yakiniku restaurant, yet it scores impressively compared to other YORONIKU locations.With this visit, I have now completely conquered the YORONIKU series, following the main branch in Minami Aoyama, the Ebisu branch, Akasaka Misuji, and Suehirocho Ikko.We ordered the YORONIKU signature Truffle Sukiyaki Course, added about 7 drinks, and the total for three people came to JPY 56,060, which is a reasonable price.Here’s the breakdown of the course and my impressions:**Appetizers** (3 types of kimchi, 3 types of namul)The classic YORONIKU starters, these two are perfect palate cleansers between bites of meat.**Cold Dishes** (2 types of sashimi of the day, yukhoe)The tenderloin and tri-tip are so fresh that you wonder if it’s really okay to eat raw meat, but you can trust YORONIKU. The yukhoe remains incredibly delicious as always.**Fresh Vegetables** (Salad of the day)The addition of salted chori-gi gives a nice break for the body.**Grilled Salt Dishes** (Negi-tan, Special Tan, Special Harami)All are great starters for yakiniku, but the texture and sweetness of the special tan are simply outstanding.**Grilled Sauced Dishes** (Kamenoko, Tsuchinoko)Here you can enjoy the unique texture of Tsuchinoko, a flavor and texture that is hard to describe.**Soup** (Hachinosu Soup)This also serves a good digestive role, with just the right amount of saltiness.**Nigiri** (Today's Special Nigiri)A return of raw meat, the melting wagyu paired with wasabi balances the fat perfectly.**Rare Grilled Cuts** (Chateaubriand, Silk Roast)Exquisite, the term "melting" fits perfectly, sweet and delicious, simply the best.**Special Grilled Cuts** (Special Sirloin, Zabuton Sukiyaki with Truffle)The sirloin pairs well with condiments, and the zabuton allows you to fully enjoy the flavor of truffle, a rare opportunity to taste freshly grated truffle.**Noodles** (Awa Hand-Pulled Somen)A YORONIKU classic, the cold broth has a distinctly Japanese flavor, and the noodles stand out nicely.**Dessert** (Shaved Ice)I chose hojicha, which has a bitter sweetness, complemented by the sweetness of black beans.
