"Akita: A Day of Yakiniku Hopping at 5 Restaurants ~ ❶"Even as someone who has tried various yakiniku restaurants across the country, my previous record for a day of yakiniku hopping was four restaurants. However, I decided to challenge myself and aim for a new personal best in Akita, combining it with work. The mission: five restaurants in one day‼️The first stop is "Kyuu," which has received outstanding ratings and popularity in Akita. I had high expectations based on the recommendations from my foodie friends. 【Atmosphere of the Restaurant】 Located conveniently close to Akita Station, it’s easy to find along the main street.【Kyuu * Lunch Set + A La Carte Orders】 ◉ Eternal Lunch ( Tenderloin, Strip Loin, Heart, Young Chicken, Hanging Tender) ◉ Cold Noodles (with Hinai broth) ◉ Rice Curry ◉ Flap Meat Lunch 【Thoughts on the Dishes】 The grill uses high-quality binchotan charcoal. Unfortunately, the most popular outside skirt was already sold out due to reservations. *It seems that the outside skirt lunch requires a reservation. I wanted to order it a la carte, but that was also out of stock, and there were no Horumon available either, which was disappointing.In the end, I went with the special eternal lunch that included tenderloin. To my surprise, it also had chicken and heart. Although it was a lunch set, overall, I felt it was a solid lineup, akin to hitting a double or triple rather than a home run. The sauces and seasonings were quite pleasing. The rich, sweet, and flavorful curry, along with the cold noodles, were of high quality. This place can be considered a must-visit for yakiniku in Akita.【Service】 The only downside was that there were two male staff members and one female staff member serving, and even during peak hours, I noticed they placed the payment tray roughly on the table instead of holding it.【Others】 Photography of anything other than food is prohibited.It was a great meal.Thank you for reading until the end. I would appreciate it if you could like, follow, and save this restaurant. Thank you!
