Late at night, towards the end of the year. From the very beginning, I had decided to go for grilled meat. I headed towards Gozabata with my feet after finishing work.
Just a few minutes' walk from the station, you will reach the entrance where a slightly bubbly aroma welcomes you.
From here on, it's a time to focus fully on the meat and enjoy it. Naturally, my enthusiasm increases.
The interior features spacious tables with partition walls.
Not caring about the surroundings, being able to focus on conversation and food at our own pace—this space is quite comfortable and peaceful.
First, I drank sparkling wine to soothe my throat, and for red wine, I ordered it in a bottle.
Compared to other roast restaurants of this category, the prices of the wines here are reasonable. When ordering by bottle, it’s truly an unbeatable value-for-money option.
I served kimchi and senmai-ushi as appetizers. Then, I lightly grilled the leber. When I saw the color and luster of the "special-tan-salt" that was served next, my eyes couldn't help but be drawn to it.
The savory taste that spreads in your mouth the moment you bite into it, and the delightful texture that rebounds in your taste buds. With just this one piece, I am convinced that today’s dinner was the right choice.
Exquisite Hilari and top-quality Roto. The meat, beautifully marinated, lives up to expectations in appearance.
The power of the meat itself is strong, leaving a genuine sense of "eating grilled meat."
During the breaks, having a egg soup makes it easier to reset one's appetite, and naturally, the hand tends to reach for the next dish.
A luxurious and extraordinary atmosphere of the Shōwa era, along with excellent meat quality. This sense of stability remains unchanged even after multiple visits, which is why I always end up returning here again.
My stomach and mind were fully satisfied, and as I left the store, the night breeze from Gozuka felt just right on my sunburned skin.

Today, above all else, I want to fully enjoy delicious grilled meat.
On days like these, the restaurant I frequent is "O大山饭店本店", a traditional grilled meat restaurant located just 3 minutes' walk from Gofu-tai Station, along the Mego-kawa River.
Founding date: Shōwa era.
The exterior of the restaurant, which tells the story of its history, and its charm that still attracts local food lovers and regular customers after work hours, are particularly prominent even in the highly competitive area of Yufuneda where grilled meat is popular.
If you open the door, a atmosphere reminiscent of a bouncy era of the Showa period will spread out.
The interior is decorated in wood tones, with chandeliers providing a modest lighting effect. There is ample space between the seats.
Not too flashy, not too old-fashioned, a retro atmosphere that exudes cleanliness.
Truly, it's a space that fits the description of "a luxurious and glamorous place from the Showa era."
It's a butcher shop with a calm atmosphere, perfect for adults to enjoy meat in a relaxed environment.
Here, orders can be made without hesitation only for "Special Grade" and "Best Selection".
In other words, it's a team of top professionals that the restaurant confidently prepares for its customers.
The premium ton salt is cut into thick slices, yet it remains soft. The elasticity and juicy flavor that hit your mouth the moment you take it in are absolutely overwhelming.
Neither lemon nor salt is needed; it’s completed just as it is.
The premium halamin is cooked in a plump manner, and as you bite into it, a sweet taste spreads throughout your mouth.
The specially selected karaage and upper pork cuts are exquisite, with stunning shavings and the sharp taste of fat. The aroma that rises from the moment they are cooked over charcoal fire captivates the senses.
The rib, which boasts of its high freshness, melts effortlessly when simply lightly grilled.

What makes any dish "delicious even after being cooked," is the absolute confidence in the quality of the meat itself.
The drinks include beer and high-ball beers, as well as wines and mullers that are suitable for grilled meat.
Unlike high-end yakitori restaurants, where a formal and rigid atmosphere is common, the "O山大酒店" has the advantage of being more natural and enjoyable.
The price, of course, is not cheap.
However, the purity of this approach, which relies on "the meat itself" rather than relying on brands like Syuuyuan, even makes it seem like a better value for money.
Enjoy high-quality meat at a reasonable price – that’s why this restaurant has been beloved in the local area for many years.
A night when I truly want to savor delicious grilled meat in a quiet atmosphere.
Even without fancy decorations, the meat speaks for itself.
This is a place solely dedicated to enjoying grilled meat.
With someone you care about, or as a reward for yourself.
Having the "Daishan Hotel Main Branch" in Gofunada is an unparalleled blessing for those who enjoy grilled meat.
When I wanted to enjoy some high-quality grilled meat in Gofuneda, the first restaurant that came to mind was the Oyama Hotel.
A branch located in front of the station, and the main store situated along the Meguro River.
Both are famous restaurants that have been beloved in their local areas for many years. However, on this day, I chose the main branch to change my mood.
Founded in the Showa period.
As you step inside the restaurant, you are greeted by a luxurious atmosphere reminiscent of the heyday of the bubble economy, combined with the unique charm of a "traditional grilled meat restaurant" that is now quite rare.
Wood-grain interior design, soft lighting, and a calm seating arrangement.
Not too flashy, yet a pleasant atmosphere that conveys a sense of properness.
This is a perfect match for the description of a restaurant that is truly "Shōwa-style, luxurious."
Today's order was, without hesitation, the "upper series".
The premium ton salt was served in thick cuts. Once placed on the grill, it made a fragrant sound as the fat popped.
Once you take a bite, the natural flavor of the meat spreads out beautifully, making it seem like lemon is unnecessary at all. The level of perfection is truly remarkable.
This premium halamin is plump and soft, with a sweetness that becomes more pronounced as you chew it.
The upper yakisoba and upper karabin have beautiful sliced vegetables, and despite having a rich amount of fat, they are surprisingly gentle on the stomach.
And a crucial element is the lever.
The freshness is evident, and when served in the perfect rare state, a creamy texture spreads across the tongue.
I ordered Sennmai shi and cabbage kimchi. If combined with a bottle of red wine, the time spent on grilling meat becomes even more dramatic.
The charm of this Oyama Hotel lies not just in the quality of its meat.
If you order at "上", you will get a substantial amount of food, resulting in an excellent cost-performance ratio.
It has a high-end feel, yet it's not ostentatious. It's also affordable for those with a limited budget.
This perfect balance is probably the reason why many regular customers are attracted to this restaurant.
The dishes for the set meal are Bibimba and Egg Soup.
This classic yakitori restaurant serves as a perfect ending to this experience of satisfaction.
不知不觉间，伴随着餐后余韵，我由衷地觉得“果然，大山饭店是最棒的。”
In the town of Gofuneda, there remains the luxurious atmosphere of the Showa era, along with top-quality meat that creates an exquisite time of indulgence.
Whether for a meal with someone dear or as a treat for oneself, this place is definitely worthy of being called the “number one place for grilled meat”.
From Gofun-da Station, it takes a few minutes to walk towards Meguro River.
In this city, where there are countless restaurants competing for attention, there is a unique family-run restaurant that stands out from the rest.

That place is truly a palace of fine cuisine, as if it has time-traveled back to the splendid era of the Showa period.
As soon as you step inside, that place becomes a completely different world.
luxurious chandeliers illuminate the marble floor, while red carpets extend further into the distance.
Upon hearing this, it was mentioned that private rooms and VIP rooms are also fully available.
This space, which is described as "Shōwa-style, luxurious," truly embodies the unshakable individuality of the Daishan Hotel.
It's understandable that this restaurant is often used for special dinners or hospitality occasions. A solemn atmosphere indeed prevails here.
However, this night at the palace was somewhat different.
The atmosphere was more lively and full of energy than usual, reminiscent of a "grilled meat pub."
But, that too is something worth mentioning.
In this space, stretch a little as you savor the best meat and wine.
That is precisely what suits tonight's mood.
My way of doing things is set in stone.

If you add a bottle of red wine to this, it will be the perfect start for enjoying grilled meat with wine.
被端上来的“上タン塩”“上カルビ”“上ハラミ”，仅仅凭借它们那华丽的外观就足以激发人们的期待。
Firstly, the top salt has a pleasant tooth-melting texture, along with a rich and premium-flavored fat that spreads gently throughout the dish.
The sliced meat of the upper kalbi and upper harami is truly artistic, with no slightest gap in the slicing.
On the roast meat, fat melts away, and the sweetness of the meat itself along with the rich flavor of the red meat blend perfectly in the mouth.
The texture was surprisingly soft, and it was of a quality that truly lived up to the reputation of high-end grilled meat.
Of course, if we look at the price alone, it's definitely not cheap.
However, considering this overwhelming quality of meat and the unique, luxurious atmosphere in which one can spend time, the satisfaction gained far exceeds the price.
This is precisely why many food enthusiasts praise it as a "high-end grilled meat with excellent cost-performance ratio".
The Obanata City Hotel, a symbol of the warmth and hospitality of this town.
As a place that adds color to special occasions, and as a destination for night-time escapes from everyday life, this palace of fine cuisine welcomes us warmly and gracefully every time we visit.

A restaurant that looks like a Chinese cuisine establishment, behind its name lies a culinary palace that has been observing the history of barbecue in this city for half a century.

This is not just a place where meat is cooked.
A magnificent stage that transforms an ordinary night into an unforgettable celebration.

The interior, illuminated by luxurious chandeliers, exudes a sense of luxury while also being strangely tranquil.
The spacious table seats convey a sense of care and attention to the precious moments of conversation with dear friends, a characteristic that is truly unique to this traditional restaurant.
In the "Harem Day" of our company's early-stage celebration, what we chose, of course, was the special series banquet.
The sparkling wine for the toast signals the beginning of this festive event.
To the table were respectfully brought dishes such as "Premium Tuna Salt," "Bone-in Kebabs," "Top-quality Harami," "Exclusive Kebabs," and the rare cut "Mizuji."
That breathtakingly beautiful frosted surface is truly beyond the realm of art. Just looking at it brings a sense of happiness and contentment.
For meat of this level, there is only one rule: do not cook it too long.
If you place the lightly grilled top-quality ton salt in your mouth, after a crisp bite, the delicious sweetness of high-quality fat will follow.
Aged rib meat with concentrated flavor around the bones, a top-quality halemi with a perfect balance between strong beefy taste and fat.
And, the miso with a melting texture... To be utterly speechless is, perhaps, precisely for this moment.
This moment of bliss requires, of course, red wine.
What's surprising is that, considering the atmosphere and the quality of the meat, the price of the bottle is surprisingly reasonable.
A comfortable space, conversations with friends, and the best meat—all of these make you forget about time.
Before I realized it, four of us had already used up six bottles of drinks. That's probably just a result of the magic this restaurant has.
A luxurious and magnificent atmosphere, where you can enjoy top-quality meat.
And yet, when the accounting is completed, one feels a genuine sense of satisfaction and acceptance.
This is precisely why Daishan Hotel has been beloved for many years.
During company parties, important anniversaries, or simply on nights when you truly wish to taste delicious grilled meat.

The interior of the restaurant features a cozy decoration in shades of red and gold. It maintains a clean and tidy atmosphere, with comfortable spacing between the tables.
It has a lively atmosphere, yet it also has a calm and tranquil ambiance. It truly represents a space where "adults can enjoy meat with peace of mind."
It isn’t the casual atmosphere of a bar, nor does it have the ostentatious grandeur of a luxury restaurant. The perfect balance between these two qualities is perhaps the main attraction of this place.
Today's orders were: "Premium Hilawan 2,500 yen", "Top-quality Karbi 2,800 yen", "Missji 3,000 yen".
The moment the thick meat is cooked over the grill, the aroma that spreads with the fragrant smoke stimulates the appetite.

Compared to other high-end steakhouses, it can be considered reasonable.
Since it also has private rooms, it is very useful for special occasions such as anniversaries or business receptions.
