Shinjuku's top ten authentic yakiniku restaurants that Japanese people love!

The Shinjuku area of Tokyo is very popular with young Japanese and foreign tourists, and there are many yakiniku restaurants. Here are some of the most popular yakiniku restaurants that even Japanese people are queuing up for.

They range from all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurants to famous yakiniku restaurants with branches all over the country, as well as long-established yakiniku restaurants and low-priced restaurants where you can enjoy high-quality yakiniku!

Yuken-tei Shinjuku is a high-class yakiniku restaurant with branches all over Japan. The meat is selected by the chef according to the exclusive standards of Suken-en, regardless of the place of origin. In addition, one of the secrets of its deliciousness is that it is handled by hand, without the use of machines, from the moment it is purchased to the moment it is processed, all in its own factory.

Each type of meat is very tasty, and we especially recommend the kettle-cooked kalbi yaki (grilled kettle-cooked veal cutlet) and kettle-cooked harami yaki (grilled kettle-cooked diaphragm), which are made with vegetables and meats in a special marinade. There are three branches in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and one of the attractions of the restaurant is the live piano and harp music.

"Yakiniku Motoyama has been using Wagyu beef since its establishment! The restaurant is proud to offer A5 grade wagyu beef such as Kobe beef at 60% off the price of a fine dining restaurant.

In addition to the rare parts of yakiniku (grilled meat), we also offer a variety of meats, such as "Korean-style raw beef", which cannot be served without freshness, and this is one of the attractions of the restaurant. It's good to order your favourite part of the meat, but if you have a hard time deciding, we recommend ordering a set menu where you can enjoy a selection of Wagyu beef to your heart's content.

The aroma of the original "oni onoshi niku" (onigiri garlic) whets the appetite and adds flavour to the meat. There is also a bar counter, so you can easily dine in alone. The only thing you need to be aware of is the two-hour time limit for eating after entering the restaurant.

"Aji Rakutei is a long-established yakiniku restaurant with a history of about 60 years. The sweet and spicy miso sauce used to marinate the meat is the main attraction, and the six levels of spiciness, ranging from "not too spicy" to "super spicy," are recommended for those who love spicy food!
