“Since they're known for their wagyu (American grade but fatty enough), I always opt for the sukiyaki.”
Roger praised the online booking system for being accurate and easy, with ample seating and multiple broth choices. He said he consistently orders the sukiyaki because it pairs well with the restaurant's fatty meats, especially kurobuta pork, and noted a self-serve veggie bar (fish balls, tofu, enoki mushroom) and a 20% senior discount.
