We had the beef course,
and it beat our expectations —
all three of us left very happy!
🏷 Every cut comes with a name tag
The beef comes on one board,
laid out by cut,
with a name tag
stuck in each one.
Just the ones in our photo:
tomobara, riburosu,
zabuton, nakaochi-karubi
(Japanese names for beef cuts).
The marbling was a work of art,
and knowing exactly what you’re eating
adds one more kind of fun.
The meat
practically melted in our mouths,
which made the conversation even better.

🔥 A little at a time on your own brazier
Every seat gets
its own charcoal brazier.
Grilling a few pieces at a time
over red-hot charcoal —
the atmosphere was fantastic!
Our own brazier — red-hot charcoal, with an extractor hood coming down above it
A few pieces on the grill — only as much as you'll eat right away
Fresh vegetables
with that charcoal aroma —
perfect with a drink.
A glass full of ice — a drink to go with the charcoal aroma
and grill them one by one
knowing what you're eating
makes it even more fun
🙇 Treated like honored guests all meal
The owner and staff
were so kind that
we felt like honored guests
the whole meal.
Taste, atmosphere, service —
everything was great.
🚗 Parking
It’s down a side street,
so its own lot is small,
and the listing recommends
using a public lot nearby.
The Iksan Police Station car park
is reportedly open for free
after 19:00 on weekdays
and all weekend.
(per Diningcode’s listing)

better when they know the cut
