Taito City, Tokyo, Japan｜Issho Ueno

Delicious motsunabe!!! They blowtorch the intestines for added char and taste. Perfect for a cool, rainy day or when you just want something warm and comforting. We didn't have a reservation but after waiting for about 30min, we got a private room.

I highly recommend trying their Halal motsunabe; it's an absolute must-try! Not only is it incredibly flavorful and delicious, but it also comes with a fun entertainment factor as the staff prepares it right in front of you (they burns the ingredients from above to add the flavor)! The fact that all the seating is in private rooms adds a touch of elegance, making it perfect for a business dinner. And don't miss out on their Halal wagyu – it's a true gem! The tenderness and the perfect marbling of fat create a delightful, mouthwatering experience. Just remember to plan ahead and call the restaurant a week in advance if you're craving that delectable Halal wagyu! Another fantastic aspect of this restaurant is its convenient location – just a few minutes' walk from JR Ueno Station (Asakusa exit). However, I strongly advise making a reservation ahead of time to ensure you secure a table, as it tends to be quite busy with customers.

It was my first time in Japan and my first time having g their halal Kobe beef. It was great. Great service and kind people. They even kept our luggage with them.
