Sakuranbo

Located in Sumiyoshi, Koto Ward, Sakuranbo is a yakiniku restaurant where diners can casually enjoy quality meats, led by Yamagata beef, both as set meals and à la carte cuts. Midday choices accommodate hearty appetites, spanning from accessible beef kalbi plate sets to rich, flavorful Yamagata beef plate cuts. Lunch sets come accompanied by rice, soup, pickles, and namul, with many selections offering expanded meat sizes such as the "Double" portion for 2 servings or the "Mega" portion for 3.

Beyond beef, the kitchen also grills cuts from rare Hiraboku pure Kinka pork, prized for its tender texture and the mild, natural sweetness of its fat. Juicy intercostal kalbi, tender skirt steak, and beef tongue provide distinct textures and cuts to explore, making for a satisfying barbecue experience alongside hot bowls of Yamagata-grown rice. Extra-large servings and rice refills ensure you have plenty on hand to accompany the sauce-dipped meats.

Counter seats fitted with smokeless ventilation offer a comfortable, low-pressure setup for solo diners to grill at their own pace. Orders are placed via touch-screen terminals at each seat, making it straightforward to add extra cuts or side items. In the evening, the setting lends itself to lingering over beer or shochu sours alongside offal, rib roast, and comforting meal-enders such as gukbap and cold noodles.
