Utsunomiya, Tochigi, Japan｜ヤキニクイチロー

A yakiniku restaurant finally opened in Yui no Mori, so I went there. The inside of the store was clean and there were semi-private rooms so it was relaxing. The price wasn't that high, you could taste the meat, it was easy to eat, and there was a lot of tender meat. Personally, I like it meaty. The standard dishes of skirt steak, short ribs, pork offal, beef tongue, and pork belly are delicious. Ordering is done from a smartphone, which is novel. As for the serving time, it took a while for the meat to come out the first time, but the next time it came out without waiting. You can make reservations on LINE, so it's better to make reservations on weekends. As a baseball fan, I'm happy to be greeted by Ichiro's uniform when I enter the store, but if I had to be greedy, I'd also be happy to have one from his Mariners era. It just opened this month, so I'm still not used to it, but from now on, it's going to be one of my options for eating yakiniku at home.

I made a reservation and went. There are partitions except for the tatami room, making it like a semi-private room, and the space is spacious, so I was able to eat relatively calmly. Ordering was done using a smartphone by scanning the QR code on the seat, but it was handled without having to wait. I think the quality of the meat was at a satisfactory level and the skirt steak was especially good. It cost about 10,000 yen for two people. P.S. I visited again, but I felt that the quality of the meat had gone down a bit overall. There aren't many options on the menu, so I don't think I'll go there again and again. I visited again at the end of October 2022. I went there after hearing from a friend that the quality of the meat had improved. I was really surprised, but the meat was so delicious that I thought it was a different restaurant than the last time I went, and I was very satisfied! Both the Utsunomiya beef short ribs and loin were very delicious, and I was very satisfied at this level for the same price as last time. I feel like the meat quality is a step up from the Yakiniku King in my neighborhood. It's great to be able to eat this level of meat without having to wait! I want to support you. 2023/04 revisit I heard that the cost performance for lunch was excellent, so I visited again. It was truly a great value for money. Lunch menus range from 1,350 to 3,000 yen, and each restaurant has its own menu, but this time I chose Ichiro Lunch. It is 1480 yen. It comes with 4 pieces each of ribs, loin, and skirt steak, as well as salad, soup, green onion salt, and kimchi. Additionally, you get one free drink, and free refills on Nasu Miyo eggs, rice, and soup. If you can eat this level of meat and lunch menu at this price, it's really a good deal. It didn't seem too crowded, but I wish it would become more popular. The staff's customer service was very pleasant and we had a wonderful lunch.

The cost performance is quite good. The meat and other sides are delicious and filling. I use a smokeless roaster, so it doesn't get smelly.
