I tried yakiniku alone for the first time! They don't offer a counter-only assorted platter. I enjoyed trying a little bit of everything. I plan to go back again. The regular beef tongue was a bit plain, so next time I'll try the thick-cut tongue. I'll definitely order harami and grilled monkfish liver again. The lemon sour was satisfying, already squeezed for me!

I was in the mood for yakiniku, so I headed to my usual spot, "Tochoen," but unfortunately they were closed for the day (sad face). My mouth was already set on yakiniku, so I decided to try this other restaurant that my husband had been to before. Ordered: - Beef tongue - Harami (skirt steak) - Kalbi (short rib) - Beef tripe - Liver - Sesame seed tripe - Seared moon-viewing roast - Hormone? - Kimchi - Regular salad - Kalbi soup (for my husband) - Komtang soup (for me) - Egg over rice? Drinks: Me: Hoppy (beer-like drink) - medium x4, then switched to corn tea Husband: Oolong tea The hoppy here was strong! I usually go for medium x3, but here, one glass was enough for 5 rounds! It was so strong that I couldn't even taste the hoppy. By the end of the meal, my memory was a bit fuzzy... I vaguely remember the egg over rice and the hormone from the record. The highlight was the "regular salad," a salted salad that was just delicious. There was also a "strong salad" with soy sauce dressing, and I regret not getting the combo of both... The yakiniku (meat dishes) here, compared to my usual spot "Tochoen," were not as good in my opinion. But dishes like the beef tripe and seared moon-viewing roast were really tasty. The set with sangchu (lettuce) included perilla leaves and green chili, which was a nice touch! The soup was also delicious, at least that's what I remember (laughs). We sat at the counter, and despite the small space, the atmosphere was very stylish. It's recommended to make a reservation beforehand, as it can get quite busy. While I usually stick to my regular yakiniku spot, it's good to try out new places for different experiences. Next time, I'll try not to get too drunk (laughs).

I recommend the thickly sliced upper tongue which was tenderly cut to enhance the flavor. You can choose between a single serving or two slices, making it a great option for small groups to enjoy a variety of dishes. For two people with small appetites, one serving of upper tongue, two slices of harami, one serving of kalbi, and two slices of loin were just right. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. I would definitely like to go back again.

Today, I met up with a friend I haven't seen in a while and we had some delicious meat in Nishi-Nippori. The thick-cut tongue and harami were absolutely delicious. I wish I could have eaten more meat, but I guess I can't eat as much as I used to when I was younger. Quality over quantity though! The food at this restaurant was great! I especially enjoyed the dishes like the senmai and hachinosu, which were a hit with everyone. It was a good restaurant.

Located on the second floor of a building just a few minutes from Nishi-Nippori Station. Take the elevator to the second floor. The elevator is small. After getting off, there is an entrance right away. I was led to the counter, but I asked to be seated at a table and they kindly accommodated my request. I ordered a drink and soon the shichirin (charcoal grill) was brought to the table. I started with the tan (tongue) salt, but ended up ordering the jyo-tan (premium tongue) as well. It was incredibly delicious. All the other meats were also very tasty. It's great that you can order little by little, making it perfect for a couple to enjoy a variety of dishes together.

I finally visited a restaurant I've been wanting to try for a long time. I ordered a platter of Negi-tan, Shio Harami, Karubi, and Rosu Hormone, as well as a platter of Namul vegetables and a stone-grilled Bibimbap. You can order as little as 2 pieces, so you can enjoy various cuts of meat. The quality of the meat is top-notch. I enjoyed the good texture of the tongue, the umami of the harami, and the balanced fat of the rosu. The menu is also rich with appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. The interior of the restaurant is clean and welcoming, making it easy for solo diners to visit. I definitely want to come back again!

After 7:30 pm on a regular day, I was planning to go to a yakiniku restaurant in Nishi-Nippori. I was shocked when my friend, who arrived at the restaurant before me, contacted me saying, "It's closed." What?! I thought their regular holiday was yesterday! Oh well, no use complaining. I'll have to find another restaurant! As I was thinking that, my friend asked, "What about Masagou?" Seriously, there's no way we can just walk in there! But I decided to give it a shot anyway... (Staff) "Yes, it's okay." Can you believe it?! So, we finally made it to Masagou!! Yayyy!! We were led to a sunken kotatsu-style seating area in the back left of the restaurant. (Oh, so it's not just a counter.) It was full with our group! Great! Now, let's order... 1. Beef tongue (2,200 yen) 2. Yakiniku shabu-shabu (1,500 yen) 3. Kalbi (1,080 yen) 4. Prime kalbi (1,980 yen) 5. Liver (980 yen) 6. Beef toro nigiri (880 yen) 7. Meat and egg rice bowl (450 yen) 8. 100% grapefruit juice (350 yen) 9. Vanilla ice cream (300 yen) Plus, kimchi (400 yen) for me and cola (350 yen) for my friend, the total came to 16,190 yen. The beef tongue was thick and just the right thickness. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Ideal thick-cut tongue! I even added 2 more slices (1,100 yen) for the finale! The yakiniku shabu-shabu was beautifully sliced. Sear for 10 seconds on each side and dip in the egg. Just the right meatiness. I want to eat it endlessly. The kalbi was so good I almost asked, "Are you sure this isn't prime kalbi?" The regular kalbi was too good, it felt a bit sorry for the prime kalbi! (laughs) No, it's really delicious! The liver was amazing. My friend even added another serving and finished it in no time. The beef toro nigiri was on another level. The meat and egg rice bowl was served mixed, with the meat broth drizzled over it. I want to eat it in a bowl!! The 100% grapefruit juice had just the right acidity, truly 100%! As for the vanilla ice cream, my friend and I were saying even before we ordered, "This is definitely going to be delicious." And it was just as we imagined. Ahh!! It was truly amazing! I was impressed after a long time! Thank you for the meal! ✨

Tonight, I went to "Yakiniku Masataka" in Nishi-Nippori. It's a restaurant that is usually difficult to make reservations for, but due to the state of emergency, I was able to get in for the first time. I started with the tongue salt and harami. They were delicious. I also had bean sprout namul and napa cabbage kimchi, which were just right. The beef toro sushi was amazing. For the horumon, I ordered upper mino, toro horumon, and gyara in 2 pieces each. It was great to be able to try a variety of options in 2-piece servings. The toro horumon was exceptional. The yakiniku shabu was seared for 10 seconds on each side and dipped in egg, which was incredibly delicious, the best today. Lastly, I had 2 pieces each of loin and kalbi. I'm starting to feel full. To finish off, I had TKG with a little bit of meat in it, which had a slightly sweet finish. I really liked it.

Counter-only menu available and enjoyable. The meat is delicious with a good thickness, but I wished for scissors as it was hard to chew. Many comments mention it's a good place even for solo diners. Both the taste and service were good, although the prices are a bit high, they are justified. I would like to visit again with about two people next time.

Anyway, the meat with fat is delicious at this yakiniku restaurant. The recommended dish is this meat sushi! It's the best I've had so far. The restaurant can get crowded and noisy, so it may not be ideal for a date. It would be nice if they could seat us at the end of the counter or in a quieter spot.

Located in Nishi-Nippori, "Yakiniku Shogou" is a great place with a counter where you can order from just two slices of meat, perfect for solo diners. If you suddenly crave yakiniku, this is the place to go! My favorite is the counter-exclusive salt trio (premium tongue, premium skirt, chuck flap). I also recommend the premium loin and kalbi. The beer is ice cold and perfect. Currently, the menu is limited but it seems like they will soon return to their original menu. The simplified menu doesn't list the option for two slices, but it is still available for order.

If the price goes up, there are plenty of delicious things. It was very delicious. I especially liked the loin, rumen, and beef toro nigiri. There is a counter and the atmosphere is calm, so it's fine to eat yakiniku alone. Two people had two drinks each, ate until full, and it cost 10,000 yen.

I visited "Yakiniku Masataka" around 6 pm on a certain day in June 2020. It is located a 1-minute walk from Nishi-Nippori Station on the 2nd floor of a mixed-use building. The restaurant was about 30% full when I entered. I sat in a tatami room with another person. I started with a "Sapporo Black Label Draft Beer (medium)" for ¥540 to quench my thirst. The restaurant style is to grill the meat on a charcoal grill at the table. I ordered the following dishes: - Masataka Salad for ¥780: A salad with a salt dressing. The dressing was flavorful and the salad had a good texture. - Negitan for ¥1,640: Chopped green onions wrapped in beef tongue. Grilling it slightly rare and squeezing lemon juice over it was delicious. - Assorted salted hormone for ¥1,100: A plate with four types of salted hormone, including Yami Tsukimino, Toro Hormone, Korikori, and Ago. Yami Tsukimino was particularly delicious. - Kalbi for ¥980: The kalbi was very fatty, which may not be to everyone's taste. - Kimchi for ¥400: A kimchi with a good flavor, though not very spicy. - Grilled Shabu for ¥1,420: Meat grilled quickly in a sweet sauce and dipped in raw egg. It was delicious and fun to eat. - Harami for ¥980: Large cuts of harami that were of excellent quality. After drinking beer, we also had a bottle of "Le Val (red)" for ¥3,650, which went well with the meat and kimchi. The quality of the meat was excellent, and although the prices were a bit high, it was worth it for the delicious Wagyu beef. The quality of the hormone was also outstanding. They also have counter seating, so I am thinking of coming alone next time.

I chose yakiniku for my first dining out in 2 months! I went to Nishinippori Shogun, where the price is a bit high, but the beef tongue was delicious. The cuts were overall large, so there was a lot to eat. The tail soup had a gentle seasoning and was delicious. And most importantly, they had Hoppy, which was really appreciated. Enjoying delicious meat and Hoppy made it a truly happy time. I look forward to visiting again.

This is my 7th visit★ The ratings have gone up since I last came! Here you can order meat from just 2 pieces, so you can try many different kinds at a good price and they are delicious, so I love it here (╹◡╹) It's my favorite place near Nishi-Nippori. I visited around 10pm without a reservation this day! Most of the premium meats were sold out, so I ordered normal tongue salt, harami, loin, kalbi, and thick-cut heart, but even these were delicious... Especially the harami and thick-cut heart are really delicious♫ Even though it's not the premium harami, the thickness is amazing!! It's so tender that I couldn't help but have seconds. The loin is not the melt-in-your-mouth fatty kind, but rather a firm lean meat! I love loin, but here I think I prefer kalbi haha Finished with cold noodles and I was full! I will definitely go back again! Thank you for the meal★

A yakiniku restaurant located about 2 minutes from Nishi-Nippori Station. I heard it was delicious, so I visited for the first time. I heard that the counter was spacious and even solo diners could go, so I might come alone next time. This time, I visited with two people and enjoyed some delicious beef tongue and makgeolli. We toasted and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was very cozy with dim lighting. Luckily, there was a vacant seat at the counter where we could eat. It was a great experience. I was looking forward to visiting as it's a station I often stop by, and the taste of the food was really good. The proximity of the seats to the next table was a little bothersome, but the delicious food made up for it. I didn't have time to try other menu items, so I would like to visit again. I heard from two people that the recommended dish here is the TKG (Tamago Kake Gohan - raw egg over rice), so I think it's worth trying. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish the rice this time. Looking forward to it next time. The beef tongue was thick and delicious without any unpleasant smell. Thank you for the meal.

This week, it was BBQ week, so I invited my former boss to go to "Shogou" in Nishi-Nippori. I had been there once before and the BBQ was really delicious. Plus, it's great value for money. The dishes we ordered this time were... But before that, the ice-cold draft beer was absolutely delicious! I had refrained from drinking in the afternoon just to enjoy this beer, and it was worth it. The beer went down smoothly and was so enjoyable. After that, we indulged in a bottle of barley shochu. - Kimchi Assortment: A combination of Kakuteki, Kimchi, and Oi Kimchi. The balance of acidity and spiciness was just right! - Pig's Feet: I love pig's feet! It's even more delicious when dipped in spicy miso! - Sesame Tripe: The tripe is mixed with sesame oil, making it fragrant and very tasty. - Top Tongue: Thick slices of tongue with a delicious flavor that is addictive! We had seconds! - Top Harami: A dish where you can really taste the umami of the meat. The balance of fat and meat is perfect. We had seconds of this too! - Thick-cut Hatsu: You can choose between thick and thin slices. I love Hatsu, so I ordered the thick cut. It was full of flavor and delicious! - Addictive Mino: The chewy Mino doesn't have a distinct taste on its own, but the marinade it's soaked in is delicious! You can enjoy chewing it for a while. - Beef Sushi: This is a must-try dish. The lightly seared beef melts in your mouth and is incredibly delicious. You can really taste the sweetness and umami of the meat. - Cold Noodles (Half): I actually prefer very thin noodles. The cold noodles at Shogou are thick, so it's not really my preference. But the soup was very tasty. - Yukgaejang Soup (Half): A moderately spicy Yukgaejang soup. It's a great dish to finish off with. The BBQ here is really delicious! It's a shame I've only been there twice even though it's so close by. I definitely want to visit more frequently in the future. Thank you for the meal!

My daughter told me that there is a popular actor named Shison Jun who often visits this restaurant because the food is delicious. So, I decided to visit this place in Nishi-Nippori after a long time. I like the atmosphere of Uguisudani and this area. I made a reservation, and when I arrived, I noticed that they were not accepting walk-in customers. It must be very popular. I sat at a table with a sunken kotatsu and started ordering. The thick-cut beef tongue had a steak-like texture, making thin slices of beef tongue seem ordinary in comparison. The beef sushi melted in my mouth. I don't like fatty tuna, but I like beef sushi. The balance of fat and lean meat here was perfect, enhancing the flavor of the meat without being too heavy. I also tried the Yukkejang Kuppa, which had an elegant taste. Considering its location in the city center, the quality of the food makes it worth the price. Thank you for the meal.

Last year in November, the guest Shison recommended a restaurant called "Shogou" on the show "The Best Restaurant in Life", saying it was "cheap, delicious, and number one." Located in the competitive yakiniku area of Nippori and Nishi-Nippori in Tokyo, this popular restaurant caught the attention of the reviewer who visited with their wife and daughter. They started with chilled draft beer, followed by grilled dishes like thick-cut tongue with salt, assorted hormone meats, and addictive mino. They also enjoyed salads, grilled vegetables, and dishes like beef sushi and grilled shabu-shabu. The high-quality A4 and A5 ranked wagyu beef used in the dishes left a high level of satisfaction, especially with the option to order just 2 pieces of certain items. Overall, the reviewer found the restaurant to be a highly satisfying dining experience.
