SATO BRIAN Honten in Asagaya. Winner of the Tabelog Award 2017 GOLD. They thoughtfully offer a "mini" special course for those of us whose stomachs have weakened due to refraining from dining out. The surprise comes from the three types of Chateaubriand, including Hitachi beef and Nozaki beef. The three divine items - fillet suki, brie cutlet sandwich, and brie uni rice - are truly like a dream. And all this for just 20,000 yen with change left over, the cost performance is truly the best. Above all, it's delightful to have Mr. Sato himself grill the meat at the main store. I want to visit the main store from now on. I'm super excited about the upcoming completion of the new meat room. The difficulty of visiting has decreased with the OMAKASE reservation system. It seems that yakiniku restaurants have about several times the ventilation capacity of regular restaurants, so I expect to visit yakiniku restaurants more often in the future.

- Restaurant Name: SATO BRIAN Main Store - Location: Asagaya Station - Budget: ¥15,000-¥20,000 - Ordered Menu: - SATO BRIAN Direct Course - Assorted Appetizers - Selected Cuts of 8 Different Meats (Approx. 320g) - Thickly Sliced Tongue with Salt - Thickly Sliced Skirt Steak with Sauce - Sirloin with Red Meat Sauce - Filet Mignon Sukiyaki Rice - Brisket Cutlet Sandwich - Brisket Rice - Marbled Meat Cold Noodles - Dessert A renowned yakiniku restaurant in Asagaya, SATO BRIAN is a must-visit spot for meat lovers. I had the opportunity to visit the main store this time. Reservations can be made through their official website, with bookings opening at the beginning of each month on a first-come, first-served basis. While I lean towards fish over meat, being a resident of Asagaya, I finally managed to visit this highly recommended establishment. With multiple branches in Asagaya now, don't give up on making a reservation! They even have a new location where you can enjoy yakiniku solo, so I highly recommend it. The restaurant is filled with signatures of celebrities, including professional baseball players, veteran comedians, and popular actors and actresses. Undoubtedly a top-notch and immensely popular restaurant. The dishes I ordered are as listed above. I'll review some standout items: - Thickly Sliced Tongue with Salt: Absolutely delicious. You can adjust the flavor with lemon mustard, green onion salt sauce, and special spices. The texture, flavor, and richness of the meat are exceptional, and the ability to customize the taste further impressed me. A must-try. - Skirt Steak with Sauce: The special sauce complements the meat beautifully. Adding special spices enhances the spiciness, increasing the appetite. This might be the best dish here; you can almost hear your taste buds singing. - Brisket Rice: Another standout dish. Infused with garlic butter soy sauce, it bursts with the tenderness and flavor unique to Chateaubriand. I ordered both white rice and mixed rice, and it was exquisite. The restaurant has four tables, including one private room. I was guided to the private room this time. I highly recommend this place! I plan on visiting regularly. Thank you for the wonderful meal. I will be back.

Delicious. All the meats were tender and melted in the mouth. I opted for the most expensive 21,000 yen main shop special, which came with matsutake rice and sea urchin by default, making it a good deal. Between the meats, cucumber and tomato were served, refreshing the palate and preparing for the next meat dish. The MVP was the tongue with matsutake rice topped with sea urchin. Overall, I would like to visit again.

There's no way any of it isn't delicious, it was an impressive taste. The meat was deliciously fatty! It was incredibly tender and elegant. I made a reservation through Table Check about a month ago for our anniversary. We ordered the SATO Buriann Straight Course. The highlights were the harami, brikatsu sandwich, and buri rice. The harami was surprisingly tender and had a gentle richness that oozed out with the meat juices as you chewed. It made me realize that I was eating high-quality meat at a yakiniku restaurant like never before. The brikatsu sandwich and buri rice were also impressively delicious, making it understandable why the restaurant would trademark them. The combination of meat and a bit of carbs really goes well together. It seems that many overseas customers are coming for this, and it's no wonder. If you're interested, I highly recommend experiencing this mind-blowing taste. Throughout the meal, the beer kept flowing, and we ended up having noodles and ice cream for dessert, leaving us completely full. The portion sizes are quite generous, so be aware if you have a small appetite. The food was cooked right in front of us, and before we knew it, we had finished everything in a luxurious two hours of dining.

SATO BRIAN is a top-notch yakiniku restaurant. Inside the restaurant, there was a signed board by Shinzo Abe. It's like a top-tier version of celebrity autographs ☆ The difficulty of making a reservation highlights its reputation as a famous restaurant. Of course, the food is delicious. The specialty Bri-Katsu sandwich is a supreme dish. The meat overall tends to be on the fatty side, so those prone to indigestion might prefer a course centered around lean cuts ♩ The issue lies with the price and atmosphere. The restaurant itself has a typical yakiniku place appearance, lacking a sense of luxury. However, the prices are top-notch. Honestly, for this amount, there are better-tasting restaurants out there. It might be worth a visit as a renowned restaurant ♩

This was my sixth visit to the SATO series. The SATO Brian Direct Course at 15,800 yen includes a selection of 7 types of meat totaling 310g. The course features 3 appetizers, beef stew, kimchi, and chorogi salad, along with thick-cut tongue salt, lean meat with sauce, thick-cut harami, lean meat with salt, buri rice (corn mixed rice), buri cutlet sandwich, fillet suki rice, and a finishing dish of Wagyu bolognese made from minced fillet ends with a rich flavor. The noodles are not pasta but a special noodle from Asakusa Kaikaro, offering a chewy udon-like texture that pairs well with the sweetness of tomatoes and cheese. The pineapple ice cream with grated ponzu has been replaced with the Wagyu bolognese for the finale, as the fatty and heavy rib shin towards the end may not be necessary. Due to price increases, the uni and matsutake mushrooms are now charged separately, and the chateaubriand seems to be getting smaller. Nevertheless, the unchanged deliciousness is truly wonderful. Thank you for the feast.

It's my third time here within less than a year, I might be slightly addicted, but the wagyu beef is just delicious. That's all. I took my friends there and they were also very satisfied. I haven't been to all the branches yet, so I will definitely visit different ones in the future. The photo this time is of something I particularly like. ❤️

Just a 2-minute walk from JR Asagaya Station, SATO BRIAN Honten, a renowned yakiniku restaurant established in 2011 (Heisei 23). I've visited SATO BRIAN Sangou before, but this is my first time at the main branch. I made a reservation in advance for this visit. This time, we had the "Meigara-gyu Akami Special Course." The menu details are as follows: 3 types of appetizers (beef stew, kimchi, salad), Akami sauce (Kainomi), 2 types of Akami salt (Ichibo, Kamenoko), Kobe beef rib roast, special filet suki, thick-cut Chateaubriand, closing noodles, and dessert. The beef stew as the first dish was surprisingly delicious! It really heightened my expectations for the meat. The staff kindly cooked the meat to perfection, so I could just enjoy eating it without worries! Starting with Ichibo, then Kainomi, and Kamenoko, the meat was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor in my mouth. I enjoyed the rib roast with ponzu-infused grated daikon and wasabi soy sauce; I particularly loved eating it with the grated daikon. The special filet suki was served on rice with rich egg and onion sauce. The filet was incredibly tender and delicious. The sauce was rich in flavor, but mellowed out with the egg. And then, the eagerly awaited Chateaubriand sandwich! The thinly breaded, rare Chateaubriand paired perfectly with the soft and flavorful bread. It was so delicious that I could eat it every day. For the closing, I chose the cold noodles over Chinese noodles. It was a refreshing end to the meal while still savoring the meat flavors. Finally, we ended with gelato for dessert! The skill of SATO BRIAN, which boasts nationwide popularity, was truly remarkable! Such delicious meats in a full course at this price point. No wonder I became a fan. I will definitely visit again! Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Perfect Kyushu Kagoshima Tan Tajima Harami Miyazaki Kainomi Kagoshima Fillet Sukiyaki Awaji Island Onion Ibaraki Chateaubriand Buri Vinegar Tangerine Ramen Peach Sherbet Various meat sources from Kyushu and additional regions such as Kobe and Ibaraki have been added, making it even more impressive.

I visited the extremely popular yakiniku restaurant "SATO BRIAN" with over 5 locations in Asagaya! It was my first time, so I decided to visit the main store. The exterior looked like a typical yakiniku restaurant, making it easy to enter without much prior research. I was surprised. The SATO BRIAN Direct Course ¥16,500 included: ★ Assorted 3 appetizers (napa cabbage kimchi, salad, beef stew) ★ Today's Kobe beef (thickly sliced tongue salt and a choice) ★ Lean meat in sauce ★ Thickly sliced harami ★ Marbled wagyu (choice of today's lean meat in salt and a choice) ★ Buri rice (choice of white rice or corn mixed rice) ★ Buri cutlet sandwich ★ Filet suki rice ★ Cold noodles with sudachi (choice of wagyu bolognese) ★ Mango ice cream (choice of roasted pistachio ice cream or hyuganatsu sherbet). The meat was all grilled by the owner Mr. Sato and the staff. With wasabi soy sauce, garlic soy sauce, original spice, lemon mustard, and a variety of seasonings to choose from, I was indecisive, but the staff kindly recommended suitable ones, which was reassuring. The meat was incredibly tender, almost melting in the mouth, and everything was delicious. Even the thickly sliced meat was so tender that I thought it must have been stewed. With a total of 310g of meat, I was worried about getting too full or feeling heavy, but that was not the case at all. Despite being satisfyingly filling, the fat wasn't overwhelming, and I could eat heartily. I was truly impressed that high-quality and delicious meat didn't weigh heavily on the stomach. It was the most delicious yakiniku I've ever had. Above all, the customer service at the restaurant was fantastic, and I've become a fan of the place! They explained about the meat and original spices in detail, served tea at the perfect timing, and Mr. Sato even saw me off outside the restaurant, with the staff waving goodbye until I turned the corner and disappeared from sight... I happily returned home, feeling that I had a great meal and visited a wonderful restaurant. It's a bit far from my home, but I definitely want to go back. I've grown to love it so much that I'd like to visit every day. It was truly the best restaurant that once you go, you'll become a fan for sure! I highly recommend it. Everyone should go there!

I used it for my birthday, the food was delicious, but the service was average, a bit cold... I chose the Taste Max Girls' Night Out Course, and you can add Uni to the volume-rich Buri rice (plus 1,100 yen per person). The quality of the meat was extremely high, tender, and juicy, which was impressive. The fillet sukiyaki rice was seriously the best ✨ It's a restaurant with value for yakiniku enthusiasts, and it's worth visiting once‼️

I made a reservation right away at 3 p.m. on a weekday because there was a cancellation. I reserved the Summer Premium Wagyu 2023 Course for just under 15,000 yen. It was my first time visiting, and while there was nothing particularly noteworthy about the non-meat dishes, I was completely satisfied with the meat dishes. In addition to the high quality of the meat itself, I thought the fact that everything was cooked to perfection and served in the best condition, along with the high level of completion of dishes like sauces and sukiyaki broth, was impressive. If you were to eat the same thing at a teppanyaki restaurant in a hotel, I think it would cost 1.5-2 times more. Perhaps because it was 3 p.m. on a weekday, everyone except us was a foreigner. While 15,000 yen is expensive, it might be considered cheap for foreigners in Japan.

I ordered the "Lean Special Course" for 18,500 yen per person. The appetizer was beef stew, and I enjoyed the lean meat with various sauces. The premium fillet sukiyaki was delicious with rich and sweet sauce over rice. The thick-cut Chateaubriand was served rare as a cutlet sandwich. For the final course, you can choose between Chinese noodles or cold noodles. The gelato at the end seemed to be from Shincherita in Asagaya, although the staff seemed unsure. I forgot to take a photo, but I believe there was a picture of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the entrance. I left the restaurant feeling full and satisfied! As an addition, when I ordered the Kishu plum sour, I was pleasantly surprised to find two plums in the glass.

The quality of the meat and the visual performance were very satisfying. Considering the number of items on the menu, the price is actually quite reasonable. The sea bream rice bowl with sea urchin is impressive, but the must-try is definitely the sea bream cutlet sandwich. I recommend trying both!

I finally got to visit the restaurant I had been curious about for a while. The interior is calm with a small number of seats. You can make reservations through the restaurant's reservation site. Everything was really delicious, and although it was a course menu, each dish felt like a main dish. The beef stew was also delicious, and the signature menu of bamboo rice, meat, and sea urchin was excellent. You can choose between white rice and bamboo rice. The pork cutlet sandwich was surprisingly delicious. In fact, everything was delicious!! This is a restaurant I definitely want to visit again.

Thank you for looking at Instagram:@abura_hate https://www.instagram.com/abura_hate. I visited the main store of SATO BRIAN, one of the representative restaurants in Asagaya. We had the "Buri-meshi", "Buri-katsu sandwich", and "Hire-suki rice" - a course where you can try all three divine items. For dessert, we chose Bolognese! We had selected cuts of meat such as tongue, teat, harami, and kameno-ko! All the meat can be grilled and enjoyed with various sauces, which is very nice! The staff were also very warm, and we had a pleasant dining experience.

I'm not a fan of high-fat meats in yakiniku as they tend to give me indigestion. However, I didn't experience any indigestion here!! The staff cooked everything for us, so we could eat it at just the right level of doneness. The yellowtail collar was to die for when paired with raw egg and white rice. We also tried the recommended lean Kobe beef as an extra order. Even though it was thickly sliced, it was incredibly tender and delicious. I wish they had beef tongue on the menu, as I'd love to try that next time.

Tabelog: 4.02 Tabelog AWARDS: 2023 BRONZE Tabelog Yakiniku Hyakumeiten: 2018-2022 A well-known yakiniku restaurant in Asagaya that you must try at least once in your lifetime. Atmosphere (Interior): The walls are covered with signatures of famous people, which can be considered a specialty. This time, we were seated in a private room at the back. Atmosphere (Staff): The staff at SATO Buri are polite and friendly at all locations. It's comfortable. The manager of the day was Mr. Nigou. Course: SATO Buri's Direct Hit Course 15,800 yen *As of May 2023. SATO Buri's courses get tastier as you progress, so be careful not to overeat! Sometimes you might end up with a full stomach like when you have a katsu sandwich, so it's best to go light on lunch as well! Especially for women. Tasting: Appetizers Three kinds (Salad/Kimchi assortment/Beef stew) SATO Buri's classic beef stew is consistently delicious. You can leave satisfied just with this. Assortment - Thick-sliced beef tongue, thick-sliced harami, lean meat in sauce In the end, SATO Buri's thick-sliced beef tongue is tastier than at a specialty beef tongue restaurant. ★ Fillet suki-meshi The highlight is a mini sukiyaki rice bowl. 1. Carefully grill the incredibly cute fillet meat. 2. Soak it in a broth bath when it's about medium rare. 4. Once the fillet meat is placed on the rice, 5. Finally, pour a rich egg yolk over it, add broth, and it's ready. Absolutely delicious! ★ Buri Katsu Sandwich A rare Chateaubriand katsu sandwich that you can enjoy without needing to chew! ★ Buri Meshi The last dish, Buri Meshi, makes you think you've already tasted it with the Fillet suki-meshi, but then they top it with sea urchin halfway through. You can't say no to that. It's a perfect match! Closing meal (Bolognese) The meat's flavor is incredible! How far can you enjoy meat until you're satisfied with its taste! Conclusion: You'll be completely satisfied with the Direct Hit Course or the Chef's Choice Course! Undoubtedly my personal No. 1 yakiniku restaurant! It's almost beyond just yakiniku at this point...

A famous high-end yakiniku restaurant. The prices are high, so it's only natural that the food is delicious, right? It easily surpasses customers' high expectations. Every dish is exquisite. It's a renowned restaurant that makes you realize how amazing delicious food can be. The service is also polite, making you feel grateful every time.

Restaurant Name: SATO Buri Location: Asagaya I made a reservation for the omakase course at this restaurant a month ago and was looking forward to this day! SATO Buri, the main store, is located in a narrow alley about a 5-minute walk from Asagaya Station along the railway tracks. It was a great reunion with a female friend who loves yakiniku after a long time. For the omakase course, we had to choose in advance, and we went with the Spring-selected Wagyu 2023 course which included Kyushu Wagyu beef stew, kimchi platter, white sesame and seaweed salad, premium tongue with salt, two types of Wagyu red meat (with sauce and salt), Wagyu harami or Wagyu sirloin triangle, brand beef rib loin, special fillet suki, pork cutlet sandwich or Buri rice bowl, cold noodles, seasonal ice cream. There were many delicious cuts of meat, and the Buri rice bowl and Buri sandwich were excellent choices. Everything was delicious. It was a bit disappointing that my friend arrived about 20 minutes late, so we ended up hurriedly grilling the meat, but it's understandable for a popular restaurant with a line waiting outside.

I went there. In Tokyo's Asagaya, there is a renowned meat restaurant known for its Chateaubriand, or rather Satoburian. I heard about this famous meat restaurant in Asagaya in Suginami Ward over 7 years ago. At that time, a friend used to go there every weekend, and I was left with a very strong impression of how delicious it must be. However, I didn't have many chances to visit Asagaya in Suginami Ward, so time passed, and now a friend managed to get a reservation, so I went. Before going, we chatted about how it would take about 30 minutes to get there from the city center. Well, when I got into a taxi 30 minutes in advance, I ended up being about 20 minutes late... From Kojimachi in Chiyoda Ward, it took 40 minutes by taxi. The fare was around 7,000 yen, which is quite rare to exceed 5,000 yen in the central 23 wards. Well, the location is a bit far from the center of Tokyo~ However, on the way back, I got off at Shinjuku from Asagaya, and it was around 3,000 yen. As for the dishes: 1. Probably a specialty small dish starting with beef stew. It was just delicious. 2. Next, a sparkling thick piece of grilled meat was brought out... It was so beautiful, with a lovely color, like a "jewel box of meat." 3. A salad for a refreshing start after the tongue start. I don't usually eat tongue, but I could eat it easily. 4. And then, one after another, meat was served, from harami to fillet. The ginger soy sauce was incredibly delicious. 5. And then, I had the specialty small dish sukiyaki. 6. Tomatoes for a palate cleanser. 7. Ended with cold noodles and ice cream. The impression of the food was that the meat was tender and delicious, and the sauce from someone who knows meat well. However, dishes like beef stew and cold noodles didn't leave a particular impression, only the sweetness and tenderness of the meat remained. It seems like a shop for true meat experts. If you imagine a meat cuisine restaurant, it's a bit different. It's more like a "superb men's meal where you can eat really delicious meat in yakiniku." As for the restaurant itself, I went to the main store, which is located in a modest shopping street, with few seats but spacious ones, and the staff were brisk and pleasant. There were countless autographs of celebrities at the entrance, from the prime minister to Ohtani-san. Cost performance: This course for two people cost 30,000 yen, so I think it's not bad, but considering the distance, it's just average. Would I go again? The meat was quite delicious, but I'm not that into yakiniku in the first place, and a 40-minute drive... hmm, Asagaya is far... It might be a bit difficult for me due to the location. But if it's for socializing or something like that, I might go.

I visited the restaurant at 5 p.m. and stayed for 2 hours. I was overwhelmed by the high-quality lean meat course, which was quite voluminous and delicious. The beef stew appetizer was also impressive, with a well-balanced and rich flavor that I had only experienced in a meat cuisine restaurant. The tongue, harami, kalbi, Kobe beef loin - all were tender and top-quality meats, but the standout was definitely the Chateaubriand rice bowl. The Bolognese for the finale was also very delicious, surpassing what you would expect from a yakiniku restaurant.
