The charm of this restaurant lies in its “all-day” nature. From opening at 11:30 AM to late at night at 11:30 PM, it’s ready to welcome you any time you’re hungry. When it comes to the signature dishes of “Taishu Shokudo BEETLE,” you definitely can’t miss their yakitori and set meals (teishoku). Here are some must-try delicacies:

Momo-kushi (Chicken Thigh Skewers)

These chicken thigh skewers are a star of the restaurant! Fresh chicken thigh meat is charcoal-grilled to a crispy golden brown on the outside, yet tender enough to make you tear up on the inside. With each bite, the juices burst in your mouth, paired with a bit of salt or the restaurant’s special sauce, simple yet delivering pure happiness. This flavor is definitely the best companion for drinks!

Buta-kata-rōsu Shōgayaki Teishoku (Ginger Pork Shoulder Set Meal)

This set meal is a popular choice during lunchtime. Thick slices of pork shoulder are stir-fried to tenderness and juiciness, with the aroma of ginger filling the air, a mild spiciness with a warm sweetness. Paired with a large bowl of white rice (with free refills!), miso soup, and a small salad, this combination makes you want to say, “Ah~ life is good!” after finishing it!

Aji-furai Teishoku (Fried Horse Mackerel Set Meal)

Crispy fried horse mackerel fillets, golden and tempting on the outside, and tender and juicy fish inside, paired with a dash of soy sauce or tartar sauce, simple yet full of flavor. If you’re a big eater, don’t worry, the white rice here is free to refill, so you can eat until you’re full without worrying about your wallet.
