This tiny store sits 7 in front of the chef, and he runs the entire shop solo (no waiters, not even a cash clerk). It’s an impressive undertaking as the service is as-much entertainment as it is about producing a delicious meal.
The steak is incredible, kudos to the cows. The presentation is art, and the steak will be grilled at once and then slowly finished on the grill, 3 pieces at a time, so that it’s always perfectly heated as you eat. The smallest portion (80g) of prime sirloin is more than enough for lunch, and if you wallet is able, I’d upsize for dinner. We got the a-la-carte 80g sirloin, and it comes with rice/miso as it was lunch.
Reservations are recommended, though I doubt you’ll come here off the street as a spur-of-the-moment decision. The Japanese reservation site is a bit of a hassle, but you can leave Google Translate on and make your way through the whole way. If you’re required to put your name down in Katakana, you can convert your name online to the right characters and copy it over. It still works and sounds correct too.
The store is right on top of the subway: off the main street, you’ll find a corridor that leads into the building. A sign will point at the store. The corridor is a bit strange… it’s like an office, but outdoor. There will be a menu outside so you’ll know it when you get there.
If you can afford it, highly, highly recommended.
