Yoroniku - Yakiniku, Tokyo, Japan
I had heard through the grapevine Yoroniku was one of the better yakiniku places. With a mighty 4.2/5 rating on tabelog, this was definitely a popular destination for locals too. We made our booking a week or so in advance, and they were definitely full on a Friday evening.
We were served by a friendly waitress who spoke perfect English - they grill your meat here for you so you don't overcook anything!

 |
| Assorted kimchi - cucumber, radish and cabbage (¥1000) |
Nothing unordinary, I found this to be fairly pricey however given the portion. It's only cabbage and cucumber and turnip after all!
 |
| Togarashi (inner thigh) (¥2500) |
 |
| togarashi - after grilling, so tender! |
Our waitress recommended this as one of the leaner but super tender cuts. I don't think I've ever had inner thigh of land animal before, but it was delicious! This was more tender than the marbled sirloin, with slight chew to it.
 |
| silk rose (¥1800 for 2) |
 |
| silk rose grilled lightly, on a ball of rice. |
As you can see in its marbling, this melted in your mouth with the ball of rice.
 |
| Sirloin (¥3500) |
Like no other piece of sirloin I've had. Incredibly fatty yet flavourful. Comes with garlic chips, flaked sea salt, sprout salad, and grated radish in light soy sauce.
 |
| Grilled, with garlic chips |
 |
| Zabuton (chuck roll) - served with egg yolk and house bbq sauce (¥2800) |
This cut was served with a sweet soy sauce and quails egg yolk for you to dip into sukiyaki-style after the meat is slightly grilled. Much more flavour, from the sweet sauce and definitely melts in your mouth too.

| The meat dipped into the mixed sauce |
 |
| Cold somen (¥1000) |
To end our meal we finished with a cold somen, which was very refreshing and the noodles were perfectly cooked with a slight chew. If only our somen at Molecular Tapas Bar had the same texture!
This was a faultless meal which we thought was well worth its price. Everything we had was premium A5 grade Wagyu from Yamagata prefecture. For about HK$500 where would you find this kind of quality in Hong Kong?!
