Amazing! Everything I eat here is delicious!

We always visit this restaurant twice a year when we go back home as a family. I wanted to write a review this time because I saw their shop on Rakuten Market and felt nostalgic, so I purchased something right away. It was delicious. However, the taste of eating at the charcoal grill in Hakodate is definitely better, but buying the "nostalgic taste" online and writing a review on Tabelog. It's hard to find such delicious restaurants in Tokyo, but this place serves meat that is better than high-quality meat in Tokyo even with their regular Kalbi. We are always very satisfied. Also, the pork hormone that Tokyo doesn't have is also attractive. It's super delicious. This summer, we splurged and tried their "premium Kalbi" for the first time, and the taste was incredible! It was so tender that it didn't feel like meat! The whole family praised it. We originally ordered one serving, but ended up ordering three servings. Even our children who grew up with this taste say they won't go to any other yakiniku restaurant. This restaurant is always in our family memories of our hometown. I wonder if we can visit in winter. Keep up the good work!

[Second Visit Edition - Finally Made It to Ariran!] Last week in July, I found an ad for the "Thank You Campaign" on the back of a newspaper and decided to visit. It was a 9th day, which meant half-price on the Koopa day, so I went. There were signs for the "Thank You 10th & 25th Anniversary Campaign" at the entrance. I headed straight to Ariran, the yakiniku restaurant on the left after entering. We ordered the beef yakiniku set (for 1-1.5 people) x 2, pork kalbi salt x 2, beef morumon koopa x 3, and soft drinks x 3 from the menu. The beef sagari, loin, and kalbi were tender and juicy. In this hot weather and busy times, yakiniku is the perfect meal for replenishing energy. The pork kalbi salt, wrapped in shiraganegi and lightly dipped in lemon juice, was so delicious that I felt like eating it again today. And then, the star of the day, the Koopa, arrived. It was my first time trying Koopa, and I ordered the salt flavor. It was surprisingly light and easy to eat, with a substantial presence but not overpowering the meat. It knew its role as a side dish. I was already full, but one person wanted to eat okonomiyaki, so we also ordered the special octopus and green onion okonomiyaki. Even though I thought I couldn't eat anymore, I devoured it like dessert. Unfortunately, I couldn't make room for dessert. I plan to visit again on the 10th or 25th during the campaign for a 25% discount. [First Visit Edition] This time, it was a meal with three colleagues from work. One liked meat, and another wanted to eat okonomiyaki, so I searched on Tabelog. I found a perfect restaurant and decided to go. It was surprisingly close, only about a 15-minute drive from Goryokaku. The entrance of the restaurant split into left and right, and when we were unsure, the staff kindly guided us to "Sennichiro." At the okonomiyaki restaurant "Sennichiro," there was a large iron plate on the table, where we could enjoy okonomiyaki and teppanyaki like kalbi and loin while cooking ourselves in the available space. We ordered two okonomiyaki dishes, Ebi Tamayaki (680 yen) and Mixyaki (1050 yen), and the owner kindly taught us how to cook them. While cooking, we ordered teppanyaki dishes like Kalbi, Loin, Sagari, Vegetable Plate, and Mochi Pork Loin with Vegetables (780 yen). The Kalbi was incredibly delicious and tender, the Sagari had a nice bounce and was tender, and the surprise hit was the Mochi Pork Loin! It was tender with no odor, truly embodying "Mochi Pork." We ended up ordering another plate. By the time we finished cooking the okonomiyaki, it was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside (with the shrimp being plump), and we shared it. Our stomachs and hearts were full of happiness, and the restaurant became a candidate for another visit. In the end, I left a review for "Ariran," but we actually sat at "Sennichiro" (sorry!) so next time, I want to reserve a seat at "Ariran" and eat there!

About 15 years ago, the restaurant used to be an old place where you could enjoy smoky yakiniku. A few years ago, it moved to a new location and underwent a big transformation. I recently revisited the restaurant. When I entered, I was asked if I wanted yakiniku. To the right, there was a section for okonomiyaki. The prices were quite reasonable, with options like premium kalbi for 1260 yen and premium loin for 1050 yen. I ordered half-size portions of premium kalbi, premium loin, beef tongue miso marinade, and a vegetable platter. The meat wasn't the melt-in-your-mouth type, but it had a rich flavor without causing heartburn later. The vegetable platter had thick and delicious shiitake mushrooms. The cold noodles were very cold and had a slightly strong flavor, but were still tasty. The kalbi soup was labeled as spicy, but it wasn't too spicy. The service was average, and the restaurant had a neighborhood yakiniku vibe. They also offered okonomiyaki on the menu, which they would cook and bring over to the yakiniku side. I was intrigued by the yakisoba but was too full to try it. I look forward to visiting the okonomiyaki section next time.

I have used Ariran and Sendanbo several times. These shops are open until 11 pm, so they are very convenient when I finish work late! Now, let's talk about today's topic, "lunch." It seems they started serving lunch around October. It is only available on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. When I entered the shop, I was guided to Sendanbo on the right side. The menu showed options like "Genghis Khan set meal" (rice, miso soup, pickles included) for 880 yen, "Yakiniku donburi" (with soup and pickles) for 500 yen, "Oden set meal" for 500 yen, and "Yakisoba" for 500 yen. I chose the Genghis Khan set meal. It comes on a hot plate! My friend chose the Yakiniku donburi. After a short wait, my Genghis Khan arrived at the table with the aroma of lamb. Next, the Yakiniku donburi arrived. As expected from a lunch served by a yakiniku restaurant, the meat was fresh and tender, served hot on the hot plate, making it delicious. The Yakiniku donburi was also tasty, with the beef kalbi being tender and juicy. The rice goes well with it, and the soup was good too. I wish I could have tried the Oden set meal as well. I definitely want to try it next time! It seems perfect for the cold season. Thank you for the meal.
