I visited "Yakiniku Jumbo Hanare" located in Hongo Sanchome.This time, I enjoyed Heart, Nohara-yaki, Outside Knuckle, Outside Skirt, Wagyu Nigiri, Flap Meat, and Cold Noodles.Recognized with the Tabelog Award 2026 Bronze and selected as one of the Top 100 Yakiniku Restaurants in Tokyo 2025, it is undoubtedly a renowned Yakiniku establishment.The first standout was the Heart.It had a nice thickness, and the moment I bit into it, the texture was impressively tender. The flavor was not overpowering, allowing me to savor the meat's umami with each bite.Next, you cannot miss the signature dish, "Nohara-yaki."The staff carefully grilled large slices of meat, which you enjoy by dipping in egg, reminiscent of sukiyaki.The sweet sauce, the creaminess of the egg, and the tender meat come together to create a flavor that makes you want to try it at least once when visiting Jumbo.The Outside Knuckle offered a robust enjoyment of the meat's umami, characteristic of lean cuts.The Outside Skirt was tender yet packed with rich flavor, leaving a lasting impression among the dishes I tried.The Wagyu Nigiri featured lightly seared Wagyu paired with sushi rice.It allowed me to enjoy the fat and flavor of Wagyu in a different way, making it a great interlude between dishes. (Tabelog)The Flap Meat had a good balance of lean meat's umami and fat, and grilling it enhanced the sweetness of the meat.To finish, I had Cold Noodles.Even after thoroughly enjoying the Yakiniku, the refreshing taste made it easy to enjoy and provided a clean finish to the meal.Overall, the quality of the meat was exceptional, and the restaurant provided a delightful experience with cuts, sauces, and grilling methods tailored to the day's selection.Especially the Nohara-yaki is a must-try dish unique to Jumbo.I would love to return when I want to enjoy high-quality Yakiniku in Hongo Sanchome.It was a great meal.
