About this place
Skirt steak, short rib, pork belly, pork loin and offal come with rice, soup, salad, kakuteki (cubed radish kimchi) and even ice cream. One diner who ordered the stamina set lunch at Singyu kan said it made a generous meal, with grilled meat alongside side dishes and dessert. For a substantial lunch with a range of meats, the stamina set sounds like a good fit; for something a little lighter, the same diner also singled out the beef loin and skirt steak set as another option.
That diner also mentioned the charcoal brazier grilling style, saying it was hot in summer but delivered the flavours they wanted from yakiniku. Another account recalled the sweet richness of the short rib, the savoury taste of the loin and how well they went with rice. Whether at lunch or dinner, there are options for building a meal around meat and rice.
In the evening, diners can order cuts individually or choose an all-you-can-eat course. The course with 50 varieties starts with dishes such as pot-grilled samgyeopsal and pot-grilled short rib, and includes meat and offal as well as meals such as short rib gukbap. For a wider selection, another course with 73 varieties begins with Japanese wagyu oyster blade, thick-cut premium tongue and Japanese wagyu skirt steak. Both courses run for 90 minutes, making them suited to a meal where everyone can pick and choose.
One diner particularly enjoyed the tongue on the all-you-can-eat course. À la carte options include premium salted tongue, marbled thick-cut salted tongue and diamond-cut salted tongue. For something beyond grilled meat, try a seafood platter or seafood jjigae in a stone pot; cold noodles and gomtang gukbap are among the choices for finishing the meal. Lunch is served too, so there are options in Akasaka for anything from a midday meal to dinner with a group.
