This is an overall evaluation for this visit only. I apologize, but I found the seasoning to be quite bold for my taste. The freshness seemed average as well. Personally, I was puzzled by the heart. I won’t be returning. I’m sharing my honest feelings, so if you prefer not to read further, please feel free to stop here. m(_ _)m⚫︎ Ordered Items Outside Skirt, 2 servings of Beef Tongue, Colon, Pork Cartilage, Loin, Hanging Tender, Heart, Short Rib, Cold Noodles, Kimchi, Omasum Sashimi, Sake Total: Approximately JPY 17,500 (per person)⚫︎ Reservation Method Table Check OMAKASE *Reservation difficulty is average.⚫︎ Taste Overall, the cuts of meat varied in quality, making them difficult to grill. After trying several, I noticed that the flavors were somewhat monotonous and tasted heavily seasoned. However, I do enjoy this type of flavor. I thought I had tasted something similar before, and it might be close to the flavor profile at Horumon Inoue.The good cuts were the Outside Skirt and Hanging Tender. Since it’s grilled on a charcoal grill, it might be challenging to get the cooking just right unless you’re quite experienced. The disappointing cuts were the Short Rib and Heart; the Short Rib had too much fat, and with this quality, it shouldn’t be served. The Heart was difficult to grill due to uneven thickness in the cuts, and I was also concerned about the smell.⚫︎ Impression Service - The person who took my payment was different from the one who handed me the receipt... this is critical. It’s absolutely unacceptable to have them separate. - I would appreciate it if they could explain how long to grill the meat. - I could overhear employees talking about "asking if we want more meat" and "checking on drinks." I would prefer if they used code words for that. Hygiene I’ll skip some details, but if this is a high-end restaurant, I expected more attention to hygiene.⚫︎ Other Honestly, I think the hype about being hard to reserve and being ranked 2nd in Japan is just temporary. I feel like once is enough for me... If you visit, I highly recommend trying other highly-rated and upscale yakiniku restaurants as well. m(_ _)m
