Meguro City, Tokyo, Japan｜Kamamoto Hanbei

A nice and tasty restaurant, which we found by accident. The ambiance, food, and service were outstanding. I totally recommend trying it yourself 😊 At the entrance, there's a vending screen for choosing and paying your drink and menu. We had the option of aged Wagyu beef (180/210/240 grams) with or without Camembert cheese. You can hand the voucher to the chef. He will then ask you for two side orders, which are included in the menu. Also included is a hot pot of rice with a variety of sauces. The chef will precook the meat, which you can finish cooking to taste on your own little gas stove. In the drawer in front of you, there are metal chopsticks for cooking the meat, wooden chopsticks for eating, and a numbered magnet for ordering a second pot of rice for free. The servers were really nice, and the chef helped us with cutting and flattening the big meat ball. After each customer, they cleaned and disinfected everything. It's a hygienic restaurant with a nice-looking interior and also has separate booths and a toilet.

This place specializes in hamburger steaks, which in Japan, refers to a ground meat patty grilled. The food was high quality. I was extremely surprised by my experiences. I was at Good Sound Coffee down the road and decdied to go nearby for lunch. Originally, I was headed towards this Ramen place with lots of good reviews, but passed this place and thought a combination of things: (a) it has a vending machine ordering system; (b) it smells good; (c) there was no line. I am glad I stopped by. The food was excellent and despite my extremely poor Japanese, the staff was able to guide me.

A restaurant specializing in grounded black wagyu beef (served as a barely cooked hamburger) which you can grill to your liking. It comes with Michelin-quality rice in kettle (kamameshi) and small dishes which you can choose from the menu. With set menus below 3,000 yen for a solid quantity of meat, it is no wonder that people are queueing in the dozens around 12 am. Therefore, we advse you to wait until aroun 2 pm if necessary, but you will not regret the experience.
