I contacted them a week in advance and was told that I could go from 9:30 pm, so I visited.
This is a popular restaurant that is difficult to get reservations for.
The shop is small, stylish and casual. There are many friendly and helpful staff members who will help you with your order and even grill your meat for you! (This point is high)
The sashimi was extremely delicious.
The large tongue was also great.
The prices were reasonable, and I was thrilled to find such a wonderful yakiniku restaurant in Sannomiya.
I will go again.
Thank you for the meal.

◼ Beef tongue served vertically rather than in the usual round slices is a masterpiece
◼ It's funny to see the manager, who is a meat fanatic, smile and talk about cows.
◼ It is best to ask someone who is good at grilling meat.
We are always invited by regulars who love yakiniku and are good at grilling.
It's really delicious.
However, when I asked him personally, I was wondering if he could cook it like the store manager and regular customers. That's a question
This is common with yakiniku and hot pot dishes, but no matter how high-quality the ingredients are, as an amateur cook, I feel like I might end up destroying the ingredients.
Sometimes the manager will grill the food for you, but it is unclear whether he will grill it even if the restaurant is full and other customers have to attend to it.
In that sense, I think you should choose your customers.
Of course I will ask again

In conclusion, it was great. I went here for the first time after being recommended by a customer, and there are many delicious Yakiniku restaurants in Sannomiya, but I think this restaurant definitely ranks high in the list! To be honest, while there are other restaurants that cost more than here and don't taste as good, I felt that this was a restaurant that was full of attention to detail when it came to meat, from animals to grilled foods. As others have said, the tongue and yakishabu are exquisite, so I highly recommend you try them. There are only 3 seats and reservations are required, but the taste made me want to eat again next time.
