Ippukuen

Grilling fresh cuts over the grate while watching the excess fat render away is the quintessential appeal of yakiniku. Situated in Asakusa 2-chome, Ippukuen draws regular praise for its fresh salt-seasoned offal and salted beef tongue. The pork offal yields deep savoury richness with every bite, and there are distinctive ways to enjoy your meat here, including swirling grilled cuts through a rich raw egg yolk sauce.

Beyond the à la carte grilled beef and offal selections, samgyeopsal provides another satisfying route into the rich, sweet flavours of pork. Dip the grilled meat in sesame oil, wrap it in perilla and sunny lettuce leaves with savoury condiments, and enjoy the clean contrast of crisp greens and hearty pork. To finish, noodle options such as ramen and Omi beef soba round out the meal on a deeply satisfying note.

Reservations and Course Menus for Dining with Friends

With tables suited for gathering and cooking meat together, Ippukuen offers pre-booked course meals that make group outings straightforward. Weekday evening service runs from Tuesday to Friday between 18:00 and 23:00. On Saturdays and Sundays, the restaurant opens earlier at 12:00 and runs straight through, making it equally handy for an unhurried weekend barbecue meal in the daytime.
