An underrated Yakiniku spot in Takamatsu! I’ve visited several times, and it really is as good as ever! The grilled shabu-shabu here is the best. Olive-gyu (Olive beef) is surprisingly good.

I finally made it to Bunpachi. I ordered tail soup, filet, and the Bunpachi assortment. The tail soup was really outstanding. The Premium Loin and short rib were unbelievably tender. The filet was, of course, excellent. I’ll be back.

As usual, I ordered on a tablet. The meat comes in generous portions and is fresh. As proof of that, you can choose to have the meat with tare sauce, salt, or just as it is.

Along with the tasty flavor of the homemade yangnyeom gently spreading across the palate, you can also enjoy the fresh, crisp texture of the Chinese cabbage.

・Thick-Cut Premium Tongue
I grill the thick-cut tongue a little more thoroughly. As the sear deepens, the savory aroma grows stronger. I just can’t resist! Time to dig in. One bite in, and the juices overflow. It has that great firm bite. That’s the real charm of thick-cut tongue, isn’t it.

・Juicy Kalbi set meal
The kalbi and Outside skirt are both thick and really juicy. Since the sauce is sweet, I cut it with lemon juice and mixed in the leftover green onion salt to balance it out. It also tastes great with wasabi on the meat.

Outside skirt with salt, sauce, and the "King" varieties like Outside skirt with miso and garlic, plus salt butter. Grill a little, then take a drink. It was still tasty even when grilled a bit more boldly. Wanting some vegetables, I got Korean Perilla Leaves and kimchi. The kimchi was the familiar kimchi you often see at Gyukaku. As expected, it was reliably good.

The meat was super tender and delicious... In a Private room with relaxing Sunken kotatsu seating... there was a lovely garden view from the window... It felt spacious and relaxing, and I thought it would be a good place for dinner with important guests as well. The drinks went down easy... and I was full too. I was completely satisfied. Truly Manzoku.

This Yakiniku restaurant is a bit pricey and not somewhere I can usually visit casually, but I was invited here for a birthday treat. The sankaku karubi (tri-tip short rib) and premium tongue were delicious,,, and the dishes came quickly so the meal went smoothly. It is perfect when you want to treat yourself a little for a celebration or victory party.

The sauce is neither spicy nor too sweet. The premium tongue was the best I’ve ever had. It was thick cut gyutan (beef tongue), juicy without being too rich.

On this day, we had Tenderloin, tongue, two kinds of Outside skirt, and a few other items. The meat was delicious. The Tenderloin was flawless. As for the Outside skirt, I preferred the regular Outside skirt to the Premium one. The tongue was good too. Paired with namul (seasoned vegetable side dish) and white rice, it was Manzoku Manzoku.

Yes, everything is good no matter what you eatー! It makes me so happy to be able to eat such delicious meat at a solo Private room Yakiniku place. You can really taste the flavor of the meat, and the sauce is great too. Or rather, even the salad, the pickles, and even the grilled vegetables, which I usually do not like that much, are seriously delicious... This is just too good
