Yakiniku in Hongo, Tokyo | Jambo Annex Black Wagyu and Nohara-yaki grilled beef
It takes about four to five minutes to walk from Tokyo Metro Hongo San Chome Station to find ‘Yakiniku Jambo Hanare.’ This yakiniku restaurant is known for its consistently high-quality meat over the years, especially A5 Black Wagyu and some rare cuts, adjusting the thickness according to the meat quality, enjoyed with the restaurant’s sauce, along with several unforgettable signature dishes, establishing a solid reputation among yakiniku enthusiasts. Tabelog has maintained a high score for a long time, has been selected multiple times as one of the top hundred yakiniku restaurants, and has received numerous awards. The results are evident, but the real reason lies in the fact that every tasting leaves one amazed at ‘how yakiniku can be like this.’
The high-grade Black Wagyu used in the restaurant typically ranges from A4 to A5. Notably, they do not fix the thickness but decide on the best cutting method on-site based on the marbling distribution of the day’s supply. Some cuts are as thin as paper, while others retain a moderate thickness, aiming to release the fat and meat aroma at the optimal moment. The quality of the meat itself is already high, but what truly makes it shine is the sauce accumulated by the restaurant over the years. This sauce is sweet without being cloying, fresh without being salty, and can highlight the meat’s sweetness more clearly without overshadowing the main star. Many regulars say that the sauce here has made them rethink ‘what yakiniku should taste like.’
Nohara-yaki, a popular dish here, features a large, thin slice of sirloin. The meat is quickly grilled over charcoal until lightly charred outside and still tender and juicy inside, then dipped into raw egg yolk. The rich yolk combines with the meat juices; dipped in sauce, the sweetness, fat and aroma come together in each bite. This simple preparation brings out the beef’s flavor.
If you want to try other cuts, the menu also includes Black Wagyu beef tongue, loin, short rib, and diaphragm, as well as beef heart, liver, and offal to choose from.
Another recommendation is hand-pressed Wagyu sushi, which can be ordered by the piece to share between grilled dishes. The special selection course includes Nohara-yaki, sushi and the day’s recommended cuts; the Chateaubriand course includes Chateaubriand and a fried fillet rice bowl. Both require advance reservations.
Another unforgettable dish is the beef rice, a popular item that requires a reservation: beef rice served in a cast iron pot. The pot lid usually has a cute cow-shaped handle, and when lifted, the aroma of butter and broth wafts up. The rice is slowly cooked with broth and butter, each grain plump and absorbing the soup, moist but not sticky. It is topped with tender meat cut into small pieces, sometimes filet, sometimes sirloin, with a beautiful pink color, and crispy fried onions or garlic flakes sprinkled on top. Mixing the meat and rice together, each bite is a perfect combination of fat, broth, and rice. The portion of this dish is substantial; even the small size is enough for two or three people to share, and leftovers can be packed to go. Many people say that the previous yakiniku was already satisfying, but what truly brings the perfect end to the evening is this pot of rice.
Guests who do not eat beef can choose Iwanaka pork belly, steamed pork, kimchi, Korean seasoned vegetables, mushrooms and salad from the à la carte menu. Whether the sauces, soup bases or shared grill contain beef ingredients has not been confirmed. Rice and noodle choices include omelette rice, curry rice, cold noodles and white rice.
The restaurant offers beer, sake, shochu, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. If you want to sit down and slowly enjoy a meal of yakiniku, you can first choose your meat, then pair it with vegetables, cold noodles, or rice dishes, leaving some space for sharing with your tablemates.
A meal of yakiniku allows you to enjoy both the direct heat of charcoal and the gentle cooking. This balance may be what makes Yakiniku Jambo Hanare the most unforgettable.
