Yakiniku Toraji Sunshine Ikebukuro
The Sunshine City outlet of the Toraji Group’s chain of yakiniku restaurants lets wagyu enthusiasts dig into thick-cut beef in chic private rooms.
Restaurant Details
Yakiniku — grilled meat — is often a trade-off between quality and quantity. The highest quality wagyu is often served in slivers, while inferior cuts and meats may come in larger portions, but may lack the marbling or flavor characteristic of higher quality meats.
Not so at Yakiniku Toraji. The restaurant, which shares its name with the legendary network of beef suppliers, believes that true enjoyment comes in satisfying both conditions; the thicker the slice, the more directly the flavor of the ingredient is conveyed, it believes.
As such, Toraji serves all of its meat in solid, hefty slices, from skirt steak to beef tongue to even the highest A5-grade wagyu beef — anything else would be doing the quality of the restaurant’s meat a disservice, after all. But this doesn’t mean that vegetables are neglected; guests will find nothing but the freshest seasonal vegetables served to them, in accordance with the restaurant’s belief that yakiniku, too, should be enjoyed with a sense of balance.
Located in the wildly popular Ikebukuro shopping and entertainment complex Sunshine City, Yakiniku Toraji offers mouth-watering wagyu as a treat at the end of a long day, as well as a much-needed respite from the throngs of people visiting one of Tokyo’s most famous hangouts. Private rooms with a relaxed atmosphere let yakiniku lovers enjoy the Toraji Group’s famous beef in peace.
