01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
At Niku no Yoichi Ochanomizu, the dining experience centers on pairing steaming, freshly cooked rice with aromatic grilled meats. The signature pot-cooked rice uses Yoichi Rice, an original blend developed alongside a certified rice master from Meisho, a grain merchant with a century of history. Delivered with freshly polished freshness after ordering, the grains cook directly at your table to highlight their glossy texture and natural sweetness.
From Signature Fresh Beef Tongue to Kuroge Wagyu Kalbi
Among the meats designed to complement the rice, the primary standout is the marbled fresh tongue, served without ever being frozen. Bypassing the freezer preserves a springy bite and juicy depth, with thick-cut slices and tasting comparisons also featured on the menu. The lineup also includes savory options like A5 Kuroge Wagyu kalbi with balanced marbling, thinly sliced miso-marinated kalbi crafted specifically for pairing with rice, and richly seasoned tonchan pork offal.
Hearty Lunch Sets and Varied Dinner Courses
During lunch hours, the restaurant attracts diners with set meals that include pot-cooked rice and a mini gomtang beef bone soup with every order. Guests can choose according to midday appetite, from generous platters like the Manpuku Set—featuring kalbi cuts, pork belly, and chicken thigh—and the oversized Bakumori Kalbi Set, to premium options like superior Wagyu roast and the deluxe Yoichi Set. In the evening, the selection expands to elaborate offerings such as the 18-cut Meat Staircase Course, alongside an assortment of plans with all-you-can-drink options.
From Solo Grilling to Group Gatherings
The dining room provides counter seating for casual visits alongside tables suited for unhurried meals. Whether grilling solo at your own pace for lunch or gathering around a full course menu with friends at night, the space comfortably accommodates a wide range of occasions.
