This is a barbecue restaurant located in Meguro. It was founded in 1975.
The famous restaurant in Machiya, Shōtai-en, was founded in 1978. Therefore, its founding date is a little earlier than that year.
Originally, it was a local-oriented barbecue restaurant located a little away from the station.
It seems that the restaurant has moved to a location very close to the Odo-machi Station in March 2019.

Looking at the restaurant's catchphrase,
“A5ランクの厳選された銘柄和牛を、”
You can enjoy yourself within a budget of about 60% of a high-end restaurant.
And, a reassuring statement.
Additionally, as a traditional steakhouse, they show great care in their selection of seasonings.
Salt was divided into pre-salt and post-salt. The pre-salt was Portuguese-produced sea salt that was dried in the sun.
It is said that the salt used in this restaurant comes from rocks salt produced in the island of Sicily.
Based on my actual visit, my impressions are as follows:
As a street-style grilled meat restaurant, it is truly of very high quality.
High-class grilled meat restaurants offering courses or customized styles, providing top-quality meat.
The appeal lies in the fact that it's reasonably priced, and the cutlery and hidden knives are also excellent.
Not only the meat quality, but also the knife used for chopping must be of high quality.
A classical street-style barbecue restaurant, however, tends to have poor cut-off techniques.
Due to the often use of this sauce with a strong sweetness, we have drawn a clear distinction between it and other types of sauce.
This sauce has a moderate sweetness, and the amount applied to the meat is appropriate.
A simple dish like grilled meat is determined largely by the quality of the meat, its cut, and the seasoning used.
Even if the grilling technique is highly advanced, if the above elements are not present, it will remain mediocre.
The parts received this time were mainly high-quality, rare parts.
Since each plate has a certain amount of volume, I felt that it was reasonable.
The fact that they offer Kobe beef karabie for 1,050 yen is also impressive.
【切り落としSP】1,380円は、コストパフォーマンスが高いと思います。
It's also a pleasure that they are able to cut down ingredients effectively while still maintaining efficiency with the knife.
By the way, the interior of the restaurant was extremely clean, and the exhaust system was perfect.
The items received this time
・モトヤマサラダ 550円
・キムチ盛り合わせ 750円
・厚切りタン塩 2,680円
・厳選三点盛り料理 2,880円
・切り落としSP 1,380円
・Kobe Beef Karbi 1,050円
・ホルモン6点盛り 1,580円
・冷麺半サイズ 650円
In terms of pure "flavor," [Thick-cut Tuna Salt] stands out.
It seems that only 2 pieces of meat can be obtained from each cow, so they use 3 cows' worth of meat.
It has a very smooth and soft texture, and it's rich in fat, making it delicious.
The featured menu item, which is called 【Exclusive Three-Course Set】
Composed of 【みすじ2/600】【とうがらし】【さんかく】.
“ミスジの『2/600』とは、1頭の牛から600kgのうちわずか2kgしか採れるという意味です。”
As someone who likes red meat, this is a highly satisfying selection of dishes.
At the same time, since it's Wagyu beef, even though it's called "red meat," it still has a lot of fat.
You can fully enjoy the unique flavors of grilled meat.
【もとやまサラダ】はコーンが添えられており、見た目は平凡ですが、
The dressing is homemade, and its unique sweetness and acidity are quite interesting.
In grilled-meat restaurants, it's often the case that the dressing is a ready-made product, which is quite a convenience.
All of the meat products were of high freshness, and I was able to enjoy the 【6-point liver dish】 as well.
Ah, the mochi here seems to prioritize quality over quantity.
In terms of volume, it feels similar to meat (i.e., not a dosa).
I think this restaurant isn't suitable for those who prefer eating meat-based dishes.
【厳選三点盛】を含む、2時間の飲み放題が付いたコースです。
It costs 5,750 yen, so it seems to be a good choice for company parties and similar events.
