Since I had been craving meat the day before, I decided to try grilled meat! With the number of infected people suddenly increasing, I thought about finding a place where I could enjoy my meal in a comfortable environment. That's why I came to Toraji Mabu Dzuban.
Actually, I have been to other Traz restaurants before, but this is the first time I've visited the Mabu Juban branch. It feels stylish and has a great atmosphere! And as expected, it's not cluttered or chaotic like some other places.
And they led me to a private room.
It's quiet here, and even though I came without a reservation, they managed to guide me to a private room without saying a word. This is truly the best thing in these times♡
The drinks are non-alcoholic, consisting of cold yuzu tea and black oolong tea. They also serve nuts and crackers from the Trazibrand brand. Eating nuts and crackers while having non-alcoholic drinks makes one feel somewhat like they’re on a plane… It’s a nostalgic feeling.
トラジキムチ ¥640
Tragikimchi is a kimchi made from the root of the celosia! It has a good texture, and its shape makes it easy to chew! The balance between spiciness and sweetness is also very pleasant.
4代目トラジサラダ ¥660
When I was a family member in the past, we often went to Traj. It seemed like we used to order Traj salads. So, if I were to make Traj salads now, they would be completely different from those memories from the past. Indeed, when you become the fourth generation, things change, you know? Lol.
The characteristic feature of this restaurant is that it serves vegetable chips with a beautiful color. It's very modern in style. The chips are extremely sweet.
I might prefer something like a "grill restaurant salad".

トラジの名物タンからは無難にタン塩 - スタンダード - ¥2000
I ordered each piece of meat individually, one piece per person.
The specialty dish, Green Onion Cowboy – White, was served along with ¥420.
ネギバカは母がよく頼んでいた思い出です！
There seems to be a range of red and white colors, as well as red halves. Red is suitable for grilled meat with sauce, and next, half-red colors might also be good!
カルビ ¥1650
Especially without the top ones, I'm quite satisfied, lol.
The small rice I ordered is coming!
極みユッケ – 真空低温調理 – ¥1650
From the name, I expected a lot from this restaurant. Since the meat was cooked in a vacuum environment, it felt like roasting beef turned into something quite peculiar—a kind of “yukke” that resembled roasted beef. Still, I really liked the yukke with a slight sense of raw meat.
Hormon Sushi ¥940
While the yuzuke is sweet, this dish has a sour and spicy taste. It offers a pleasant experience of biting against the teeth.
Black Soy Harami ¥1760
I enjoyed it with salt and sauce, so I also ordered the black miso! In addition to tandoor and karbī, I chose halami. The halami is quite thickly sliced! Perhaps due to the black miso, it doesn’t change much in color even after cooking, making it a bit hard to distinguish. The well-aged miso isn’t as flavorful as expected, but adding egg yolks adds a luxurious touch and makes the taste more mild. ♡
5種類のホルモンが盛られています。
From the upper left, clockwise: hormones, tendons, upper muscle, heart, and upper fin. Ah, I like all of them!
Famous Yukke-Jang Noodle ¥1100
It was a highly recommended restaurant, so I chose to go there! They served two servings of one portion in two different bowls.
The dashi was extremely prominent, so I had to avoid it a bit while taking photos. Lol.
The noodles were about the width of a ring, with a flat and chewy texture. I remember eating yukke-jang in the past, but this didn’t match the taste I remembered at all… Oops, forgot to mention it. I really liked these noodles.
Dessert is served with vanilla-flavored Sweet Potatoes
The host said that these sweet potatoes were too dry, but I didn’t mind them much when I ate them with ice.
I feel like I always ate vanilla ice cream with kina powder, but this time I chose the original Traj's almond tofu. When it comes to something called "original," I just ask for it. The almond tofu itself is ordinary, but the addition of berries gives it a bonus-like effect.
Finally, Trajimilk Bar makes its appearance!
After eating, having a milkshake makes me feel nostalgic and it's a pleasure♡ I'm glad I didn't order a dessert.
And after eating, instead of gum, they served a fruit-flavored tablet mint POLO in a donut shape.
By the way, POLO seems to have been sold out in Japan. It's really sad.
Next time I go, I think I'll opt for a private room, another salad, and meat dishes like senmai. For the vegetables, I'll go with half-half portions. I might even skip the dessert!
