[Gyu-Kaku] I went to Gyu-Kaku with 2,000 yen in my hand, and a 'Solo Yakiniku Heaven' with a 2-hour all-you-can-drink plan was waiting for me 🍺🥩

[PR]

Hello, I'm Nagi 🐕✨

Do you ever get an irresistible urge on your way home from work to 'drink beer while grilling meat!'?
But then you give up, thinking, 'It's too intimidating to go to a yakiniku place alone' or 'It gets expensive if I add all-you-can-drink,' and end up settling for a convenience store bento...

For us 'yakiniku refugees', Gyu-Kaku has extended a miraculous helping hand.

Believe it or not, it's '1,980 yen (2,178 yen including tax) for a 2-hour all-you-can-drink plan'.
And apparently, it has become a permanent part of their weekday grand menu.
This is something I just have to try.

[Short Story] Wednesday Solo Yakiniku

Scene 1: Izakaya or Yakiniku?

Location: Wednesday night, office elevator.
Characters:

• Ken (30): Sales representative. Running out of stamina in the middle of the week.

• Colleague: Seems like they want to go out for a drink, but lacks the courage to ask.

Ken
'Good work today... Sigh, I want to eat meat.'

After parting ways with his colleague, he walks through the city alone.
Grabbing a drink at an izakaya is fine, but today he's in the mood for some serious meat. However, he has the impression that solo yakiniku is expensive.
Just then, a red poster at the Gyu-Kaku storefront caught his eye.

Ken
'Wait, just over 2,000 yen with all-you-can-drink? That's cheaper than an izakaya!'

As if drawn by a magnet, Ken was pulled into the restaurant.

(Nagi's positive retort)
🍺 The price destruction is amazing!
Usually, all-you-can-drink alone costs about 1,500 yen, right?
Getting meat (about 200g) and edamame for this price is honestly a glitch. Gyu-Kaku, are your calculations correct!? (Thank you)🙏

Scene 2: The joy of choice and infinite edamame

Location: Gyu-Kaku counter seat (or table seat).
Order:Yakiniku Tavern Set (Offal Assortment, Black MIX)

Once seated, the staff member explained the system with a smile.
It seems you can choose between the 'Classic! Yakiniku Assortment' or the 'Selectable Offal Assortment (White MIX or Black MIX)'.

Ken
'I'll have the offal assortment, the Black MIX with special soy sauce glaze! And a draft beer!'

An ice-cold beer and a mountain of edamame (refills free) are brought to the table immediately.
Then, the shichirin (or roaster) is prepared.

Sizzle...

I place the marinated offal on the grill.
Fat drips onto the charcoal, smoke rises, and the savory aroma tickles my nostrils.

Ken
'...This is it, this is the one.'

While waiting for it to cook, I drink beer with the edamame as a snack.
It's the best. Without worrying about anyone else, I grill my meat and drink at my own pace.
This is true adult luxury.

Last Scene: The satisfaction of the finish

Location: 2 hours later.
Situation: Ken has finished his meal and is drinking tea.

Ken
'Whew... I ate and drank well.'

The sweetness of the fat from the offal (shimacho, pork skirt steak, and chicken tail) paired perfectly with the special sauce, and I couldn't stop drinking beer.
The meat was about 200g. That's more than enough for a snack.
If it wasn't enough, I could have ordered more items individually, but today, this set was satisfying enough.

The bill was 2,178 yen, just as promised.

Ken
'I feel like I can do my best tomorrow too.'

Ken's steps as he left the restaurant were lighter than when he entered.
He had reset his mid-week slump in the best possible way.

Epilogue: A new routine🥩

The next day, Ken bragged about this to his colleague.
'Wait, seriously? Let's go together next time!'

Whether alone or with friends.
The new style of 'Yakiniku x Izakaya' proposed by Gyu-Kaku seems like it will be a strong ally for working people.

Ken
'Maybe I'll try the "Classic! Yakiniku Platter" next time.'

In his planner, the words 'Gyu-Kaku' were already written down for next Wednesday.

Nagi's Summary

How was it?

Gyu-Kaku's 'Yakiniku Izakaya Set' overturns the image that 'yakiniku is a meal for special occasions.' It is revolutionary to be able to enjoy a yakiniku drinking session, which usually costs over 3,000 yen, for about 2,000 yen.

• 2-hour all-you-can-drink (Draft beer is also included!)

• Choice of meat (approx. 200g)

• Infinite edamame (all-you-can-eat)

The ease of dropping by on the way home from work, and the satisfaction of enjoying a proper yakiniku meal.
On a weekday night when you feel like having a drink, head straight to Gyu-Kaku without hesitation! 🏃‍♂️💨
