Summary
Yoroniku literally means "night meat" because the restaurant only operates at dinner time. Service is good and there is an English speaking staff (she's an American born Japanese I think). The quality of the beef here is sublime, definitely the best yakiniku we have ever had, and probably on my top 10 list of the best things I've ever had. I would have given it a perfect overall score, but its really the cooking which made the dishes here special, but more of the beef themselves.

Silk Rose & Tsuchinoko
Silk rose (I think that was what they call it) came in thin slices and marinated, served with a ball of rice. We were told to grill the meat for only a few seconds on each side then wrap it around the rice ball. Tsuchinoko came in thicker slices. ¥2,500

Zabuton
Zabuton came in thin slices with some marinate, served with egg yolk. Like before, we were told to grill for only a few seconds and then immediately put the beef into the yolk. We have to say this is probably the best beef dish we've ever had, literally melt in the mouth! ¥2,800

Matcha Kakigori
Possibly because we've ordered so much, they decided to give us 2 complimentary desserts. This matcha shaved ice has a strong green tea fragrance to it, making it quite special.
