Reasonable priced Wagyu beef, and delicious too! Sauce in the rice set is so good! The 120g portion is just right. But if you are coming on an empty stomach, consider getting the 160g. Heard that wait times are long during lunch, so came at night 6pm. No line and not crowded at all (1/10/24). Definitely recommend for a cozy dinner after visiting the bamboo forest.

Amazing wagyu beef rice sets, one of the best I’ve has so far in Japan. We tried the more fatty versions and it was DELICIOUS. Apart from the beef, the sauce is also a highlight of the dish. Crazy flavours and complements the beef really well. Another side dish I loved was the pickled vegetables and it was great even for me a vegetable-hater 😭
So so good, I would definitely visit again. Also, would recommend coming before the restaurant opens. We arrived right on the dot and there was already a long queue. We had to wait for about 30-45minutes for the first batch of customers to finish. However, tables turn fast so waiting time may vary.

Good beef with a decent side dish. A bit pricy but you can for 120g but if you like beef its better to go for the large 160g. It open at 11:00am but people queue at abt 10:30am, So Come early 09:00 go to the bambo forest, finished at 10:30 and line up for a good meal.
FYI a meal cost abt ¥3000-5400 perPax,
