Kawagoe, Saitama, Japan｜炭火焼肉東洋

April 2023 It's been a while since I last visited. The price of draft beer has increased a little (600 yen excluding tax), but the size of the mug remains the same. (thank you) The meat is consistently delicious. November 2020 I went there for the first time in a few years. The Yakiniku restaurant with all private rooms has been reborn. The measures against corona are perfect. We also had takeout lunch boxes. It's a high-end Yakiniku restaurant, but I'm glad that Asahi Super Dry draft beer is 500 yen for this size. Toyo tongue salt, special short ribs, and coconut sorbet are recommended for dessert. I was also surprised that Yukhoe had made a comeback. It was expensive at 1,400 yen, and it was served in a package that we had to open and eat ourselves. I ate it for the first time in a while and it was very delicious. I think the budget per person to eat here is 5,000 yen or more. At the time of checkout, I had planned to pay by card, but the store manager told me, ``If you pay in cash, you will receive a 3% discount,'' so I decided to pay in cash.

Since it's a high-end store, I was too scared to go in, but I was invited by an acquaintance to visit the store for the first time. It was after 7pm on a weekday, but when I called, I received a casual reply saying, ``We'll be able to guide you right away.'' According to an acquaintance, all the rooms are private rooms, so it seems very convenient for adults of both sexes. Furthermore, if you drive a little over 10 minutes east, there are places near the 254 Bypass where men and women can relax. Putting all that nonsense aside, I thought to myself, ``This month, I'm lucky to have been brought to a place like this.'' When I looked at the menu, I realized that even a course meal for around 5,000 yen was quite satisfying. If you're a judo club member aiming for the 2024 Paris Olympics, you'd have to order enough for 20 people, but for an old man over 40, it's no problem. (It's pronounced "Mou Mantai" in Cantonese.) In addition to a variety of meats, there are appetizers, soups, rice, and even desserts, so there's no need to order anything other than this course. In fact, if you think that riding the SDGs boom is the cutting edge, or if you're on a low-carbohydrate diet, it's better to have less rice. The memory of consuming a large amount of carbohydrates will remain more vivid than the fact that the meat was delicious. Of course, the taste of each dish is guaranteed. I want to say this with confidence, but the truth is that the draft beer was cheap at around 500 yen, and I ended up drinking so much that I ended up with a hangover. When this happens, it's more about the atmosphere than the taste. In an era when the new coronavirus has not yet subsided, the act of making a fuss, drinking alcohol, and gorging on meat is the ultimate act. The bill was about 8,000 yen per person, including the course and drinks. At a self-proclaimed high-end yakiniku restaurant in Tokyo, the price can easily exceed 10,000 yen, even if you don't eat or drink much. Moreover, it only holds about 200ml of draft beer, right? Mr. Toyo is a medium-sized mug! This area is truly my hometown, Saitama. It felt very cheap. By the way, customer service is very prompt and polite. He came right away when I pressed the bell, and was very friendly. I asked for another draft beer, thinking that this was a far cry from the grumpy waiter at the high-end shabu-shabu restaurant I went to the other day.

This is my favorite yakiniku restaurant in Kawagoe. The atmosphere is good in a private room, and whatever you eat is delicious. Recommended!
