Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, Japan｜稀牛 YAKINIKU MAREUSHI

I highly recommend this place for the quality of the beef meats. Yes the price might seem a bit more on the higher end but it’s worth it because the quality of the wagyu and beef is amazing. The place is run by only 2 staff so you need to be patient. They are helpful and can speak little English but you can get by with no problems. Tip for those going there : 1) there is a cover charge per person that is standard but they do give you a free small starter which comes in the form of a toasted bread with a sauce that is made with some chunky beef 2) the price on the menu does not include tax so please add another 10% if calculating your totals from the menu. This might be why some people left reviews feeling they might be overcharged. 3) There is steam rice available but it’s just not on the menu. Ask the staff and they will bring you some. Overall compared to what I pay for at home, the quality of the meat is definitely excellent and cheap by Australian standards. Highly recommend everything we had - wagyu premium galbi, premium outside skirt steak, superior beef tongue steak, wagyu with wasabi soy and the miso Kalbi.

Excellent dishes can be found here. Even though the kimchi is also very yummy. The beef dishes are more than delicious. The owners are nice and welcomed.

Everything we ordered was delicious (soup, salad, kimchi, meat) high quality beef and fresh vegetables. Maybe prices are higher for Japan but value is good compared to home in Australia. Thank you for a special dinner.
