Akita Gyu Gentei

Just one of the best Yakiniku restaurants for the money I was in Japan. Was a bit difficult, in over Golden Week even call days in advance, so reservations highly recommended. The two-person set is only 8000 yen (drinks not included) together and has a really good selection of cuts as well as salad, kimchee, etc. Don't miss it!

I visited this restaurant because it was both on my list of restaurants to visit after I had seen pictures of delicious meat, and it was often recommended to me about They had to have reserved a table to come, or at least that was the case on a Saturday and I recommend it anyway. We had a table reservation at the desk first, but when we arrived at the restaurant, we were asked if we were to sit at a table instead. So we did, and after that it was time for a feast The atmosphere was great. People sat on the floor in their own tatami rooms and on the tables. Everyone smiled and enjoyed a wonderful meal. The staff was friendly and did not seem to be in a hurry, which was a nice surprise to see in a Japanese restaurant. We had chosen a course set menu that came with different types of meat, a starter and a dessert. The meat was one of the best I had so far, and everything else was up to the same standard. It is really one if not the best restaurants to eat meat in Akita The prices surprised me too. Everyone told me it was a super expensive restaurant, but the menu I wouldn't say. If you go with a group of 4 people (precisely), you can have a set menu a drink of your choice for about 3,000 yen that is more than reasonable. For 2 people, the set menu was 8000 drinks you order. It's worth the price! So, gather your friends and enjoy a nice dinner!

In any case, five stars for lunch set menu, food quality, service and cost performance.
