I prefer pork over beef, and chicken over pork at this age.That said, the restaurant I visited tonight is a renowned yakiniku place that I crave at least once a year, even as a pork lover.This is about my 20th visit. It’s one of my favorite yakiniku spots located underground in Minami Aoyama.The luxurious entrance immediately elevates my mood.This time, I ordered the "Basic yet Satisfying Course (18 dishes)" for JPY 13,300 per person.This popular restaurant has received various awards, including being listed among Tabelog's top 100 restaurants. I had been avoiding it for a while because during my last two visits, there were many inbound customers from China, making the atmosphere quite noisy. However, tonight, while more than half of the guests were still inbound customers, they were not from China, and it was pleasantly quiet.Now, the meat is grilled by the staff with great care. Most likely, a beautiful part-time worker from Aoyama Gakuin University will be grilling for us. This is the "original Yoroniku style."In any case, the yakiniku is absolutely delicious. Oh, and the supporting cast of kimchi and salad is also tasty.However, perhaps due to my age, the latter part of the course was a bit tough on my stomach with all the beef.But the somen noodles to finish and the dessert of hojicha and Shirokuma shaved ice provided a refreshing reset.Tonight's runner-up was the "Chateaubriand" and "Silk Loin + Rice Ball," while the champion was the "Zabuton Sukiyaki."
