The meat was delicious and the staff grilled each piece to a delicious degree of doneness.
I was satisfied, but I think the course was a little expensive.
I will go again on a special exciting day.

The meat quality and grilling skills are great! The tableside barbecue service is highly recommended. The draft beer is delicious. The deputy manager, Mr. Umeno, speaks Chinese very well and is very friendly. You can try it when you come to Shinjuku.

Introducing Mr. Onuki's distinctive menus and his personal favorites.
・Shiitake mushrooms
Grilled whole shiitake mushrooms from Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture. There is a soup made from shiitake mushrooms on top, which you are recommended to drink first. The shiitake mushroom soup is very effective, and you can fully enjoy the sweetness of the shiitake mushrooms. Of course, it has a salty taste, so it's a good accent.
This is a dish I have never had at other restaurants.
·lever
This liver was the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. People who don't like liver say it has no odor and has a mellow taste. It has a flavor that overturns the concept of liver, and is a must-try dish for people who don't like liver.
・Harami
This also has no unpleasant greasy taste, and you can enjoy the feeling of being ``swimming in the sky''.
·lamp
A dish where you can enjoy the natural sweetness and tenderness of the meat.
The taste lingers in your mouth, and you can enjoy the elegant sweetness that is made without using any unnecessary ingredients.
It was a very satisfying dinner.
A store I want to go to again.
Thank you for the meal.
