A yakiniku restaurant just a short walk from Ningyocho Station.
Stepping into a side alley, I spotted the welcoming lights that looked just right for the place.
Happy’ love that name, haha.
Turns out there are a few branches: Ayase, Kami-Itabashi, Kawagoe… and more.
Cheers!
Mega Lemon Sour.
If you’re at a yakiniku spot, mega is the only way to go.
Gyutan Chili Oil.
The rich flavor is perfect as a side dish for drinks,
and it would probably go great with rice too.
I’d love to use it as a filling for onigiri.
Happy Karubi.
Thick, meaty all around.
After all, yakiniku is best with a tabletop grill.
I can’t get enough of this sizzle.
The legendary seared gyutan yukhoe.
The specialty, Happy Blooming Gyutan.
It looks just like a steak.
Cut into dice-like pieces,
chewier than regular gyutan.
A good squeeze of lemon…
Gyutan and a lemon sour — can’t go wrong, a classic combo.
What an irresistible moment.
This place works perfectly with an izakaya vibe,
and lunch seems great too… wish there was one closer to me.
Thanks for the meal!
