Welcome to Yakiniku Inoue Kichijōji

“ This popular restaurant has multiple locations throughout Tokyo. The prices may seem on the higher side at first glance, but considering the portions, it's actually not that expensive. A la carte orders: ・Instantly Smoked Yukhoe (1,500 yen) ・INOUE Yukhoe (2,580 yen) ・TRIANGLE Zabuton Rolled Sukiyaki (1,680 yen) ・Wagyu Skirt Steak (3,300 yen) ・Misuji with Truffle Sauce (1,800 yen) ・Black Wagyu Tongue Platter (3,000 yen) ・Nagaimo Kimchi / Cream Cheese Kimchi (650 yen each) ・Premium Tripe (800 yen) ・Cold Noodles (1,000 yen) The staff carefully prepares the yakiniku and smoked dishes right in front of you. The yukhoe menu is particularly extensive, and each dish is made possible by the freshness of the meat. You can rest assured that food is carefully managed. They have a wide variety of kimchi, and their unique cream cheese kimchi is rich and flavorful, making it a dish that goes well with beer. The quality of the meat is also excellent, with the skirt steak having marbling like hanger steak, and being soft, juicy, and absolutely delicious. The menu is extensive and everything is appealing, so I had a hard time deciding what to order, but I felt that nothing was a disappointment. If I'm in the area, this is a restaurant I'd definitely visit again! Thank you for the meal! ”

“ We went for dinner. They have several locations in Tokyo, serving high-quality Japanese Black beef. The luxurious interior, complete with private rooms, makes it a great choice for various occasions. I ordered a la carte items, including a three-piece rare cut platter, aged skirt steak, salted tongue with green onions, freshly sliced ​​inoue loin, and top-grade tripe. The meat was excellent, and the inoue loin, served never frozen, was particularly exquisite. The aged skirt steak was also excellent, with a rich flavor. The salted tongue with green onions was delicious, with thinly sliced ​​tongue topped with a generous amount of green onions, and there was also a side of green onions. I prefer lean meat over marbled meat, so I didn't order it, but the zabuton rolled sukiyaki, exclusive to the Kichijoji location, seems to be a top recommendation. They also place a great emphasis on desserts, which should be a hit with ladies. The service was attentive and the restaurant is of a high standard, even among yakiniku restaurants, so I recommend it. ”

“ Inoue has multiple locations in Tokyo, each with its own unique features, such as limited-time menus and specialized courses. The Kichijoji location has a limited-time menu item called "Zabuton Maki Suki," which is a must-try! The staff beautifully rolls up and grills meat topped with egg yolk and a small amount of rice. The sweet sauce from the sashimi base soaked into the meat, making it delicious! The half-cooked egg yolk was also great The yukhoe was moist and tender, and the sauce and egg mixed well together, making it easy to eat! The thick-sliced ​​salted tongue was delicious just looking at it! The texture was chewy yet soft, with a squishy texture that almost fell off my tongue! The three-piece rare cut platter was a luxurious set of "ichibone," "rump," and "kainomi"! I love lean meat because it's juicy but not greasy. I always order skirt steak when I'm at a yakiniku restaurant. The meat was just the right thickness and incredibly tender! The liver had absolutely no odor and was moist and tender. It paired perfectly with the sesame oil and green onions that came with it! To finish off the meal, we ordered the "Stone-Grilled Garlic Rice"! The waiter mixed it up for us. The butter, garlic, and rice were thoroughly mixed, and the mild garlic flavor was delicious!

“ ・INOUE Yukhoe ¥2,580 Lightly seared Kuroge Wagyu beef thigh. The melt-in-your-mouth meat, egg, and special sauce are addictive. ・Zabuton Maki Suki ¥1,680 x 2 A Kichijoji-exclusive dish, this zabuton is wrapped around pickled egg yolk and koshihikari rice. ・Freshly Sliced ​​INOUE Loin ¥1,280 This unfrozen, fresh loin is lean and tender, letting the delicious flavor fill your mouth. ・Salted Tongue Covered in Green Onions ¥1,300 The tongue is barely visible, and additional green onions are available. ・Thinly Sliced ​​Premium Salted Tongue ¥2,000 The moderately thick premium salted tongue is both tender and juicy, bursting with the delicious flavor of beef tongue. ・Wagyu Skirt Steak (3,300 yen) Thickly cut, this Wagyu Skirt Steak is tender and satisfying. ・Premium Tripe (800 yen) The crunchy texture and miso sauce are superb. ・Chicken Neck Meat (700 yen) Tender chicken thighs grilled until crispy. ・Stone-Grilled Garlic Rice (1,100 yen) The garlic really whets the appetite, making it hard to stop eating. ・Almond Tofu (550 yen) Yakiniku Inoue has several locations in Tokyo, and the Kichijoji branch is a must-visit! It's close to the station, and the atmosphere and quality of the meat are both excellent. ”

“ I visited on August 9th. All the food was delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great, so I really liked it. The only thing that was disappointing was that, probably because I was wearing an intercom, the staff couldn't always hear my orders smoothly, which was a bit stressful. I understand how difficult it is to use an intercom, but it would be helpful if they could make my order a top priority. However, overall I was very satisfied with the meal. ”

“ Located a 2-3 minute walk from Kichijoji North Exit, our favorite yakiniku restaurant, Inoue, is located on the third floor of the building next to Kopis. My friend and I went there for dinner. We've been to Ginza, Kagurazaka, Shibuya, and even the Shinjuku Hormone restaurant, and they serve high-quality Japanese Black Beef at reasonable prices. The spacious interior has a calming atmosphere, and we chose a private room. The private rooms were also spacious and intimate, allowing for a relaxing atmosphere. They also offer course meals, but this time we tried some items from the à la carte menu that caught our eye. We started with a toast with sparkling wine (780 yen). What we had that day ・Kimchi Platter 980 yen Nagaimo yam, cucumber, Chinese cabbage, cream cheese. It was my first time trying cream cheese kimchi! The sweet and spicy mix was just what I liked. ・Today's Recommendation: Inoue's Rare Cuts Platter (3 Pieces) (2 pieces each) 3800 yen Misuji (top sirloin), ichibo (aitchbone), and sankaku (triangle). This is clearly high-quality meat. The top sirloin is beautifully marbled and soft and richly flavored. The aitchbone is rich in the savory flavor of lean meat and the sweetness of fat, and the shoulder triangle is also full of lean flavor. It's absolutely delicious. -Aged Skirt Steak (with Sauce) 2,200 yen Aging concentrates the flavor, leaving it tender and incredibly rich. My companion praised it as "skirt steak." -Salted Tongue Covered in Green Onions 1,300 yen Thinly sliced ​​tongue covered in green onions, grilled with green onions, and topped with green onions in a green onion sauce. The green onions add a delicious accent. It's light and you can eat as much as you want, like a snack. -Raw INOUE Loin 1,280 yen This fresh loin has never been frozen, and is incredibly tender, rich in lean flavor, and incredibly delicious. It's a large, irresistible treat for red meat lovers. ・Premium Tripe (¥800) These premium tripe are chewy and carefully cut, and the sweetness spreads the more you chew them. ・Korean Seaweed (¥400) I always order Korean seaweed when I go to a yakiniku restaurant. It's perfect as a snack. ・Stone-grilled Bibimbap (¥1000) Served piping hot and cooked to perfection by the chef. The crispy, rice cracker-like crust is delicious. ・Yukgaejang Soup (¥1150) The yukgaejang soup, with just the right amount of spiciness, is the perfect finale. ・Tiramisu Parfait (¥780) Inoue also offers a wide variety of desserts. A generous parfait with ice cream, whipped cream, cornflakes, and tiramisu. The desserts are also authentic and recommended. The meat is generally of high quality, and everything is delicious. The rare cuts, aged skirt steak, and Inoue loin were particularly excellent. Aside from that, the Zabuton Yakisuki, which is only available at the Kichijoji store, also looked delicious. The customer service is attentive at all Inoue stores, and even eating and drinking all this for less than 10,000 yen per person, so I think it's great value for money. I'd like to visit again someday. ”

“ I had the Wagyu Beef Hitotsu-mabushi Gozen meal. The rice bowl was filled with plenty of meat, but while enjoying the condiments, grated yam, soft-boiled egg, and broth, I finished it in no time It's a shame I visited before work and had to eat a little quickly. Next time, I'll make sure to have more time. ”

“ Craving some delicious meat, I headed to Yakiniku Inoue Kichijoji. The atmosphere was great from the moment I walked in, and it got me excited. The meat here is truly top-notch, thick yet tender and juicy. The sauce and salt were perfectly balanced, making it impossible to stop eating and drinking. The price is reasonable for this quality, and the satisfaction level was extremely high. This is a versatile restaurant perfect for friends or dates, and it's also great for when you want to feel a little special. However, since it's a popular restaurant, it's best to make a reservation. One thing I did notice was the customer service, which felt a bit like they were working part-time at a student job. I was particularly surprised by the staff laughing out loud in full view, but it wasn't unpleasant; rather, it was a lively atmosphere, so I guess I can take that as a positive. Overall, this is definitely a place I'd recommend if you're craving delicious meat. It's a restaurant I'd definitely consider for your Kichijoji yakiniku options. ”
