おむすびころり

As one of the most popular restaurants in the area, Yakiniku Wagyu Shokudo was bustling and we had to wait a bit before getting a table, despite the spacious interior. The highlight here is the all-you-can-eat menu featuring Hitachi Beef. The beef nigiri was tempting, but since I couldn't eat that much, I opted for a la carte dishes instead. Choosing the Hitachi Beef set meal was a great value, as it came with unlimited access to the salad bar and curry.

We ordered two of Ibaraki’s specialties: Hitachi beef outside skirt and tongue. The Hitachi beef tongue seasoned with salt was especially memorable for its rich, savory flavor. The outside skirt had a bold, fatty taste that may not suit everyone, but its distinctive character was truly enjoyable.

I visited for lunch and was impressed by the excellent value for money. The outside skirt was tender and satisfying. Although their popular premium tongue was sold out, I look forward to returning regularly and hope to try it next time.

焼肉図鑑

Having visited many yakiniku restaurants across the region, I know that family-style yakiniku places can be hit or miss. However, Furin is truly a standout. Here, you can enjoy exceptionally delicious yakiniku.
