A unique yakiniku restaurant where you can fully enjoy the pride of Hiroshima, Sakakiyama beef, produced by the son of the highest-rated kaiseki restaurant in Hiroshima on Tabelog.While the full-attendance style is common in Tokyo, it’s quite rare in Hiroshima, isn’t it?I had been aiming to visit every time I returned home, but I could never secure a reservation. This time, I was so looking forward to my long-awaited first visit that I decided on my return date only after confirming the reservation!There was a mix-up where my reservation was changed from 6 PM to 8 PM, but I was able to enter without any issues.The interior features two semi-circular counters surrounding the grill, which seem to operate in alternating shifts for the 6 PM and 8 PM reservations.However, when I was guided to my seat, the previous guests' plates had not been cleared, and they remained there until I left.It seems they are operating with limited staff, which may pose challenges, but I felt that if they could clear the space before seating guests, it would create a more pleasant dining experience.◆ Ordered Course・Omakase Course (JPY 11,000)There is only one course available for JPY 11,000. It was very well-balanced and had a satisfying volume.The dishes that particularly impressed me were as follows:* Heart with Kombu Kelp: This was the first dish served. The texture of the heart, enhanced by the umami of the kombu, was delightful and immediately captured my heart.* Blanched Omasum: It was incredibly fresh and had a wonderful bounce. The accompanying miso sauce was so delicious that it left me in awe. If I had to say anything, I wished they had served smaller portions so we could savor it longer; everyone finished it too quickly!* Liver: Normally, I tend to avoid this part, but I was shocked by its thickness and freshness. It had the unique flavor of liver without any unpleasant odor, making it quite enjoyable.This restaurant radiates a passionate desire to provide delicious meat. Considering the quality and the effort of the full-attendance service, it offers exceptional value for money; in Tokyo, this would definitely exceed JPY 20,000.The chef is still young, so I’m excited to see how they evolve, including improvements in operations.
