My Visit to Maruya Honten Nagoya

This time, since we were staying at the Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel – connected with Nagoya Station, we decided to visit Maruya Honten to try the Hitsumabushi Eel dish.

Maruya Honten is quite famous in Nagoya. When we arrived 30 minutes before the opening time, there was already a line. It’s worth noting that there is no reservation system or system for writing your name down, so we simply had to wait in line. Many locals were waiting in line to taste the mouthwatering Hitsumabushi.

Fortunately, we managed to get in once the shop opened.

What To Order

They have an English menu so ordering is easy.

Almost every dish was complete with eel. Basically you just need to decide the portion size of the unagi you want. Choose from 3 sizes – mini, regular, deluxe, or the Special Set and you can eating your Hitsumabishi 3 ways. There are also option for 2/3 or 1/2 eel set. A set meal was slightly more than ¥3,000 but it was worth it.

We had the Special Hitsumabushi Set to enjoy the meal fullness.

Hitsumabushi from Maruya Honten

Although there were many people, the food arrived quickly after we ordered.

The presentation was unique, with the rice and eel served in a wooden bowl, presumably traditional. The eel was grilled to a crispy perfection and tasted delicious. It is smoky, hot, and perfectly seasoned flavor that was truly heavenly. It paired wonderfully with the tender Japanese rice.

Steakland Kobe-kan: Affordable Kobe Beef Teppanyaki

by Emily | posted in: Kansai Japan | 0

Last updated on December 22nd, 2024

Anyone visiting Kobe should make a point to stop by Steakland Kobe-kan and savor the world-famous Kobe beef at an affordable price. The meat is juicy, tender, and simply melts in your mouth!

While in Kobe, trying Kobe beef is a must. Renowned as one of the best beef in the world and considered a delicacy, Kobe beef is pricey and dining at the top restaurants can be challenging. Near the Sannomiya JR Station, there are numerous options for Kobe beef, and we chose to visit Steakland, known for its affordable cuts.

Steakland Kobe offers various grades of steak and their Kobe beef lunch set provides the best value. The meal includes a generous portion of meat, seasoned and cooked right in front of you according to your preference. The accompanying dishes were also excellent.

We visited Steakland as part of my trip to Kobe and was thoroughly impressed. The meal was fantastic, and the beef was exceptional. I highly recommend this place for a delightful meal in a great atmosphere. Be sure to check out Steakland Kobe for affordable Kobe beef Teppanyaki!

Table of Contents

The restaurant is popular and filled with locals and foreigners for good reason. It is one of the best places to enjoy authentic, affordable Kobe beef in Kobe. Although not cheap, the affordable lunch set menu costs only JPY 3,180 for the Kobe beef meal, which is truly a steal!

My Food Visit To Steakland Kobe-kan

Steakland Kobe has been popular for years and it looked absolutely enticing, so we decided that this would be our restaurant of choice when looking for Kobe Beef in the city. Note that Steakland reservations can be made by phone; it is highly recommended for larger groups.

When we walked in for Saturday lunch without a reservation, we saw a long line of people waiting at the lift lobby. The queues can be really long during lunch, so we recommend coming early to avoid crowds.

There are no instructions on what to do, but eventually we figured out that we need to get a queue number from a machine near the entrance of the restaurant. There is a seating area for diners to wait for the numbers. We waited for around 30 minutes before our number got called.

Following the group, we were next seated at a teppanyaki grill and table. This was a large U-shaped table with seating around the centered grill and a central opening for the chef to stand and cook.

Steakland Kobe Menu

We were presented with a lunch set menu featuring a wide selection of beef dishes. The lunch sets range in price from ¥1,200 for the steak lunch to ¥4,500 for the Kobe tender beef set meal. The tender beef had a higher marbling and was more tender.

Each set includes a generous portion of vegetables (bean sprouts), garlic, rice, soup, and your choice of orange juice or coffee to complement the succulent steak, which is cooked to your preference by skilled chefs. It’s important to note that the drink is served at the end of the meal.

Regardless of the set you select, you’ll receive a substantial, mouthwatering steak that remains tender even when cooked right in front of you in teppanyaki style.

Kobe Beef in Teppanyaki-Style

After we placed our order, there was a brief wait for the preparation.

Shortly thereafter, our skilled chef appeared and made a humble introduction. He then meticulously cleaned the hot plate and proceeded to grill sliced garlic to crispy perfection. This was followed by a delightful combination of bean sprouts, and greens.

Steakland Kobe - Garlic Chips in Teppanyaki Style

Lastly, the Kobe beef. We were given the choice of having our steak cooked rare or medium rare. The chef at Steakland Kobe demonstrated exceptional precision as he expertly sliced, diced, and prepared each piece of meat to perfection, tailored to our exact preferences.

Affordable Kobe Beef

Kobe Beef refers to Wagyu beef from the Tajima strain of Japanese Black cattle raised in Hyogo Prefecture. It is considered one of Japan’s top three beef brands, revered for its flavor, tenderness, and fatty, well-marbled texture. Quality like that comes at a price, with customers typically paying around ¥10,000-¥20,000 for one certified Kobe Beef steak.

The Steakland Kobe menu, especially the lunch set, offers a great opportunity to try affordable Kobe beef. Since this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, we both chose the Kobe Beef set. We chose the Kobe beef steak set and found it to be relatively good value for the money. The chef will cook the steak in front of you in teppanyaki style.

The Meat and The Taste

It was a delight to watch the chef prepare the Kobe Beef right in front of us at Steakland. We had been eagerly anticipating that first bite for a long time, so I was a bit worried that it might not live up to my expectations.

Fortunately, we were not disappointed at all. The first bite was truly amazing.

The medium-rare Kobe beef steak was flavorful and practically melted in our mouths. The taste was outstanding, and the texture was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. Personally, I prefer a bit more fat, but considering the price and the way it was cooked, it was still enjoyable as part of the set meal. Overall, the Kobe Beef experience was everything I had hoped for and more.

We also tried the garlic chips and bean sprouts, which were served as sides. The garlic chips added a nice subtle flavor and were great to munch on, while the bean sprouts were crisp and juicy.

The Drawback

While the staff are efficient and doing their best to serve us, the service is not up to the Japanese standard. Our afte-meal drink was delaye and we had to remind the staff to bring it to us.

If you prefer a more private dining experience, Steakland Kobe-kan may not be the best choice for you. Random guests are seated together at the teppanyaki table to maximize seating capacity.

Additionally, since it’s a teppanyaki style restaurant where the chef cooks in front of you, it may not be the best environment for infants or small children. The atmosphere can be smoky and greasy, and the slippery floor was a real downside.

Overall: Steakland Kobe Food Review

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Steakland Kobe-kan. The Kobe beef was excellent, but everything else was mediocre. There are plenty of other Kobe beef places in the same area, but they come with a much higher price tag. I’m not sure if we could have gotten a better meal elsewhere compared to Steakland. Considering the price, we left happy.

Yaekatsu: Local Favorite Osaka Best Kushikatsu

by Emily | posted in: Kansai Japan | 0

Last updated on December 22nd, 2024

We tried the best Kushikatsu in Osaka at Yaekatsu, a popular traditional Japanese restaurant among locals. Check out how to order and what to eat at Yaekatsu.

When visiting Osaka, don’t forget to try the delicious kushikatsu (串揚げ), especially when you are in the Shinsekai area. Kushikatsu is made by frying beef and vegetables with bread crumbs attached to a skewer. This local dish is very popular in Osaka and is a common food among locals.

While there are many kushikatsu restaurants in Osaka, we highly recommend Yaekatsu as the best kushikatsu restaurant in Osaka. Below, you can find our dining experience at Yaekatsu.

Table of Contents

Yaekatsu – Osaka Best Kushikatsu

Yaekatsu (八重勝) is a beloved local restaurant in Osaka with a prime location in Shinsekai (新世界), boasting over 50 years of history. The restaurant specializes in kushikatsu, a Japanese-style dish featuring deep-fried skewered meat and vegetables.

The restaurant is extremely popular, and there is always a line of people waiting outside. Many people visit this restaurant frequently for its delicious food.

We always visit Yaekatsu for its food whenever we return to Osaka. The restaurant is easy to find and is the best place to eat when you are visiting the Shinsekai area. Even though it wasn’t peak lunch hour, we had to wait for about 30 minutes in line. So we recommend coming early or avoiding peak hours. But the queue moves pretty fast.

Yaekatsu (八重勝)
Address: 3-4-13 Ebisu Higashi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Japan.
Business Hour: Daily from 10:30 to 20:30. Closed on Thursday.
Getting there: 3 minutes walk from Dobutsuen-Mae metro station

Depending on how much food you order, but expect to pay 2,000-3,000 per person.

How To Order in Yaekatsu

Once inside, we were seated at the counter where the chef prepares the food in front of you. It’s a casual place where everyone seems to be having a good time. Most of the patrons are locals, and we enjoyed the vibe inside the restaurant.

After being seated, we received a menu with prices and started ordering. You can choose from vegetables, seafood, or meat. No need to order all at once as you can continue to order more as you go.

If you are seated in front of the food bar, you can also point to the skewer food for ordering. The server behind the counter will take your orders. The staff was very polite and accommodating, and we didn’t feel pressured to rush through our meal and vacate the seats.

What To Eat in Yaekatsu

Yaekatsu has only the two popular items on the menu, Kushikatsu (串揚げ) and Doteyaki (どて焼き). We recommend you try these Osaka specialties in this delicious restaurant.

The menu is quite extensive. But generally, the range of choices goes from various types of veggies, meat, and seafood kushikatsu. Just get a mixture of all. The most expensive items here are the prawns and oysters with the rest sitting between ¥100 to ¥200 yen per stick.

Don’t forget the cold sake or beers! They also serve non-alcoholic drinks as well as other drinks.

Kushikatsu

Let’s decide what to order at Yaekatsu today. The tiger prawns and scallops look really nice.

We ordered a variety of items: prawns, oysters, eggs, meat, green peppers, shiitake mushrooms, onions, and more. After placing our orders, we turned our attention to the chefs working behind the scenes, while we enjoyed our cold beer.

The servers will dip the food in batter, fry it in front of you, and serve it to you. Besides, there was a big bowl of soy sauce served with a dipping sauce and lettuce right in front, which was shared by all the customers before or after you.

It didn’t take long before the first batch of our orders arrived.

Two of my favorite skewers (not surprisingly the most expensive ones) – prawn and oyster.

The deep-fried oyster was so creamy and the batter was so crispy and light, making it very good. Perfectly match!

The prawn was seriously tasty, with a very nice bouncy texture.

The fried onion was really nice and sweet, and the batter was perfect.

Despite being deep-fried, it was not oily at all! Even my friend, who hates fried food, loved them. They were very cheap, so we tried different kushikatsu. I recommend trying everything on the menu. I had to order more than once to ease my craving. Great to enjoy with a cold beer for sure!

Doteyaki – Miso Tendons

As I mentioned earlier, Yaekatsu also specializes in doteyaki (tendon simmered in miso). This is a classic menu item at Yaekatsu that many Japanese restaurants offer. At Yaekatsu, you can see the tendons being cooked in miso paste at the restaurant. Almost everyone orders it.

This dish was surprisingly delicious. Its texture reminded me a little of Korean glutinous rice cake, but with a more aromatic taste and some earthy notes. The food might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s definitely mine. I really enjoyed it.

No Double Dipping

Just a reminder: NO DOUBLE DIPPING!

When enjoying kushikatsu, please dip your skewer into the sauce just once. The kushikatsu will be served with a pot of sauce in front of you. After you receive the skewer, dip it in the sauce as much as you like and then place it on your plate. It’s important not to take a bite and then dip the skewer again – this is considered taboo.

The restaurant is very strict about this rule, and there are numerous signs to remind patrons. Additionally, you can use the cabbage provided as a side, dipping it into the sauce to complement your kushikatsu.

Overall: Osaka Best Kushikatsu

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance and our meal at Yaekatsu. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The wait time of 15-20 minutes wasn’t too bad, especially considering the long line. The restaurant had a good mix of both local and foreign patrons.

In short, I will definitely make it a priority to revisit Yaekatsu when I’m in Osaka again!

We highly recommend Kyoto Yakiniku Hiro for the best yakiniku experience in Kyoto. This restaurant offers carefully selected Japanese Wagyu beef grilled in high quality.

Continue reading about my food experience at Kyoto Yakiniku Hiro – one of the most affordable places to enjoy Japanese-style grilled Wagyu in Kyoto.

Table of Contents

Kyoto Yakiniku Hiro

Kyoto Yakiniku Hiro (京の焼肉処弘) has been a popular yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurant in Kyoto for many years. It was established in 1976 in Sanjo Shopping Street by Kyoto’s most famous butcher, Hiro. The restaurant is renowned among locals for offering fresh, high-quality beef at an affordable price.

There are several branches of the Hiro brand throughout Kyoto, divided into three groups.

The first group is Kyoto Kaiseki Yakiniku (BBQ) HIRO, where diners can enjoy premium wagyu and seasonal Japanese cuisine in the historical atmosphere of Kyoto. There are three branches to choose from: Yasaka-Tei near the Yasaka shrine, Gion Yamana-an in the Gion area, and Pontocho.

The second group is Kyoto Yakiniku (BBQ) HIRO, which has 8 branches in Kyoto and is still expanding. You can choose to dine at Senbon Sanjo, Sanjokiyamachi, Saiin, Shijokiyamachi, Kyoto Station, Kyoto Tower Sando, Hachijoguchi, and Yamashina Station.

Lastly, there is Kyoto Yakiniku (BBQ) HIRO SHOTEN, located at Karasuma Nishiki, Shijo Takakura, and Kyoto Station Nishi. This group of Hiro restaurants is more casual and less expensive.

Each restaurant has different styles and menus, all offering high-quality options. You can check the details on their website and choose the one that best meets your expectations.

For more information, visit the official website of Kyoto Yakiniku Hiro: https://yakiniku-hiro.com/english/index.html

Pro tip: If you plan to dine at Yakiniku Hiro Kyoto, make sure to make a reservation on their website, as it is always crowded and fully booked, especially during weekends. Popular locations can get fully booked weeks ahead, so securing your seats before visiting the restaurant is essential!

Kyoto Yakiniku Hiro (Hachijoguchi Store)

We visited the Yakiniku Hiro Hachijoguchi Store (焼肉弘八条口店) and would highly recommend it. The restaurant has a chic modern design with a good vibe. The atmosphere inside the shop is similar to other Japanese grilled yakiniku restaurants.

We stayed at the Hotel Keihan Kyoto Ekiminami, located opposite Kyoto Station’s Hachijoguchi exit. The Yakiniku Hiro Hachijoguchi Store is the nearest Hiro branch to our hotel, so we didn’t have to venture very far. We were glad we did, as it was only a 4-minute walk from the hotel. We made a reservation before our trip to Japan.

Dining Area - Kyoto Yakiniku Hiro Hachijoguchi Store

The dining area is pleasantly intimate. With a party of three, we were seated on the first floor at a beautiful table seating area. There are also counter seating areas on the ground floor.

Similar to many establishments in Japan, there is a common grilling table for the three of us. It provides a good smokeless grill, so your clothes won’t smell after eating there.

What To Order

Kyoto Yakiniku Hiro offer both Japanese and English menus. The restaurant offers affordable meat platters and a variety of side dishes. There is also a great selection of meat and cow offal available.

Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Most of them can speak basic English.

We ordered the daily special meat platter along with some specialty items such as Yukke (seasoned raw beef meat), beef tongue, Kyoto Kujo negi Roll, and salad.

It was a great experience to enjoy Yakiniku with a draft Asahi beer.

Yakiniku Wagyu Beef

Japanese Wagyu Grilled in Kyoto Yakiniku Hiro

Yakiniku means “grilled meat” in Japanese. The grilling is done at the table on a grill placed over the direct flame. Because the flavor of the beef is the focus, yakiniku requires high-quality ingredients as well as extra care such as not overcooking it and ruining the flavor and texture.

Our food was served while we enjoy the drink.

The meat platter from Kyoto Yakiniku Hiro is like a sampling menu with different cuts of meat. It was beautifully presented with the birth information of the beef. The portion sizes are not too big, so you can try different cuts of wagyu beef.

Let’s start cooking. We start cooking the daily beef slides. A delicious aroma quickly filled your nose.

Here is some thick diced beef meat. The beef melted in my mouth and the taste was brilliant!

The portion is small but we still recommend though—the flavor and texture of the beef were so beautiful. Together with delicious sauce, it gives the meat lover a great blend of everything. Incredible!

Kyoto is famous for its Negi (Japanese long onions). Therefore, we highly recommend trying the Kyoto Kujo Negi Roll, which combines the taste of meat with the freshness of onion. High recommend it.

The food quality was excellent, with a variety of courses and ample portions to satisfy anyone’s appetite. The cuts were well prepared, the salads fresh, and everything served was delicious.

Yukke – Seasoned Raw Beef Meat

Besides the grilled meat, we highly recommend the Yukke (ユッケ) – Seasoned raw beef. It requires the freshest and highest-quality ingredients, prepared simply and naturally. The finely chopped raw wagyu ground beef and a raw egg yolk are perfectly paired. Just mix it up and eat it — raw!

The taste is amazing. This is also my first time trying raw beef in Japan, but we ended up loving it the most! We would come back just to eat this amazing dish.

Overall: Best Kyoto Yakiniku

Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience at Kyoto Yakiniku Hiro (Hachijoguchi Store). Everything about this place was classy, and the Wagyu beef was incredibly good and tender. Most importantly, eating Wagyu beef at Kyoto Yakiniku Hiro is much more affordable, even in Japan. I highly recommend this place and suggest making reservations in advance. You won’t regret it!
