Yakiniku Stamina En

Although the public transportation from the nearest station is bus or taxi, which is not convenient, Yakiniku Stamina-en is known nationwide as a "Yakiniku restaurant legend".

Founded in 1967, this is a family-run business, with the older brother Hisahiro Toyoshima in charge of the meat and the younger brother Masanobu Toyoshima in charge of the variety meat. Our uncompromising work from procurement to processing, cutting, and flavor creates a taste that will impress yakiniku fans.
Organ meats are the symbol. "Freshness is the key to Horumon," says Masanobu. Every night after closing, he starts preparing the meat for the next day. When preparing, he always uses ice water even in midwinter, so his work is thorough. Carefully preparing each part of the organ meat will lead to the supreme taste. Most people order mixed Horumon such as skirt steak from average to extra-special, tongue salt, beautifully marinated short ribs and loin, limited quantities of misuji, and so on. Whichever Yakiniku lovers choose, they can be satisfied with it.    

There are 5 types: shimacho, heart, giara, senmai, and kobukuro, which are rubbed in a special salt sauce. Slowly grill and enjoy each flavor and texture.

 

The beautiful marbling and thickness, and the well-known short ribs are also superb. Choose salt or sauce when ordering.

Mr. Masanobu Toyoshima says that the secret of a well-known restaurant is "Just do what is supposed to be done." Even now, he continues to explore things such as making a sauce that enhances the taste of the ingredients.

Yakiniku Keijo Kitasenju branch

Established in Senju in 1973, this yakiniku restaurant has been particular about using high-quality Japanese beef.

“In the days when shabu-shabu restaurants and traditional Japanese restaurants were the only places where high-quality wagyu beef was available, the passion of our founder made it possible to purchase Omi beef and Matsusaka beef. We have been working hard to serve Wagyu as a Japanese food culture for over 50 years since then.” says Sayuri Iwata, the second president. Our prided meat is cut by hand after an order is placed, seasoned and served in the most delicious state. There are excellent items such as the finest loin that is lightly grilled and tasted with wasabi soy sauce, and Matsusaka beef with the taste of sukiyaki. Hamburger steak and mince cutlet made from the “kaburi” part, which has a strong taste, are also specialties. Please enjoy the taste of a well-known restaurant that pays attention to detail, such as the sauce made with carefully selected soy sauce and the rice procured from the production area.

The "Jokan loin" that wraps around the core of the loin is a rare part characterized by its beautiful marbling. It has an outstanding umami and flavor, and when lightly grilled, the sweetness of the fat melts in your tongue.

A popular dish where you can enjoy the taste of the finest beef in a hamburger steak. The taste of beef simmered in the original sauce is exquisite. The makgeolli in the back is 583 yen by the glass and 2200 yen by the bottle.

Inside the store, there is a plaque that tells us that we have been designated as the first designated Omi beef sales store in the yakiniku industry in Japan.
