Niku-Azabu Nishi-Azabu
The typical look of a yakiniku chain frequented by businessmen is given a chic updo at Niku-Azabu. Sandwiched between Roppongi and Hiroo, the Nishi Azabu branch is hip with white-tiled walls and a downtown vibe. Opened in 2011, it offers a refreshing change of pace from the high-end yakiniku spots that dominate the landscape. There’s still the A5 black beef wagyu that draws the crowd, but seatings are more laidback and prices don’t break the bank. #restaurant #japanesefood #japan #japanaesthetic #food #byfood #japanbyfood
Arata Naru Bondz Susukino Honten
But Arata Naru Bondz’s concept is that of “a family-run jingisukan restaurant”. As such, each table is assigned a staff member, who isn’t just there to grill the meat to the ideal level of doneness for the perfect flavor and texture, but also to banter with the guests at the table. This lets the conversation flow freely between guests, and takes the responsibility of cooking off the diner. #restaurant #japanesefood #japan #japanaesthetic #food #byfood #japanbyfood
