Frommer's Review

This casual, small, second-floor eatery has inexpensive lunches of chicken, pork, and beef, with second helpings of rice and vegetables included in the price. From 5pm, it offers all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu (and in winter, sukiyaki) with a 90-minute time limit -- kind of like an "on-your-mark, get-set, go" spree of uninhibited gorging. Ditto with all the beer, sake, or soft drinks you can drink if you pay ¥1,365 ($11/£5.50) more. Various grades of meat are available, from beef and pork (the cheapest) to top-grade wagyu beef. Seating is at counters or tables and, as you might have guessed, the place is usually very crowded.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
