Following the cherry blossom guidance of Gubei Golden Road Pedestrian Street and turning in, the lanterns hanging high on Ronghua East Road hint at a Japanese restaurant, creating an atmosphere of Japanese style. Every time I go, I feel that this store is not easy to find. But after finding it once, I feel it has a certain charm. It’s like walking through the narrow alleys of Japan to find a private restaurant. After nightfall, the surrounding late-night food stalls are filled with smoke and fire, and there is an atmosphere of having a drink after work and finding comfort as in Japanese dramas.

It’s a two-story building. There is also an outdoor seat in front of the building. However, in April, it’s windy and cold, and no one is sitting outside.It will be very comfortable to sit and have a drink in summer. The downstairs is the kitchen. Only the upstairs is for dining. I feel that compared to before, the space is a bit larger. There is one more small private room that is still half-hidden. The business is still so good. On weekday evenings, the tables turn over quickly one after another. As the saying goes: Good wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

[Service] This barbecue restaurant does not have the greasy feeling of smoke and fire. The dining environment is quiet and self-disciplined. For diners like us who are not skilled at grilling, the waiter will help grill when not busy.

[Gourmet Food]
From top to bottom, from left to right
#Spicy Clam Meat 18 yuan, Wasabi Octopus 18 yuan, Wasabi Snail Meat 18 yuan
#Three kinds of appetizers. My pre-meal snacks are一如既往的 delicious.
#Oxtail Soup 42 yuan
#Recently, it has been continuously rainy and cold. I think oxtail soup should be served at this time. A bowl of clear soup with a hint of green makes my saliva flow like a bursting flood. The meat is tender and juicy, falling off the bone. The combination of various flavors between the lips and teeth forms a warm feeling and starts a journey of taste buds.
#Large Bowl of Ox Tongue 68 yuan (half portion)
#It’s thickly sliced ox tongue with a solid texture. It’s very enjoyable to eat. It contains almost no fat. The meat is firm and springy. Eating it in big mouthfuls is extremely satisfying.
#Jarred Diaphragm 68 yuan (half portion), #Wanniu Diaphragm 58 yuan (half portion)# Premium Beef Short Ribs at 268 Yuan #
At first glance, the square-shaped appearance of these ribs is irresistible. When chewed, they release a rich and mellow aroma with a satisfying texture, full-bodied beef flavor, and sweet juiciness.

# Australian Wagyu Beef Eye Meat at 238 Yuan (Half Portion) #
Rich in marbling, under the high heat of charcoal grilling, the large chunks of fat become intensely fragrant. When the beef reaches medium-rare, the color fades, making it the perfect time to eat. It is rich, delicate, and very satisfying! Wrapped in the restaurant’s secret sauce, it not only effectively and quickly lowers the temperature of the beef but also enhances the original flavor of the wagyu with its fruity and savory taste. As you chew slowly, the creamy aroma hidden in every fiber is captured by your taste buds.

# Grilled Scallops at 14 Yuan Each #
Served on a tin foil dish with specially blended cheese, the scallops are placed on the grill to cook. The grilled scallops maintain their tenderness and are rich in creamy flavor.

The store’s secret坛子肉 is marinated and then specially cut with crosswise cuts. After grilling, it is fragrant, not greasy, and leaves a lasting aftertaste.
