AKITA GYU GENTEI — Restaurant in Akita

If you’re a yakiniku lover, this place is heaven for premium beef enthusiasts! The restaurant specializes in Akita beef, and every cut we tried was absolutely top quality—richly marbled, tender, and bursting with natural flavor.

We ordered a selection of different cuts, including Akita wagyu, harami, sagari, tomosankaku, and zabuton, each beautifully presented with clear labels so you know exactly what you’re tasting. The marbling was perfect—melt-in-your-mouth tenderness with just the right balance of umami and sweetness. When lightly grilled, the beef released an incredible aroma and stayed unbelievably juicy.

The side dishes were equally impressive, from the crisp fresh lettuce wraps to the flavorful kimchi and refreshing pickles. Everything was thoughtfully prepared to complement the rich beef.

The atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, making it perfect for both special occasions and casual gatherings. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive, explaining the different cuts and recommending the best grilling times to maximize flavor.

What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional quality of the beef—you can really taste the care and craftsmanship that goes into raising Akita wagyu. It’s a memorable dining experience that showcases the best of Japanese yakiniku.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy premium wagyu beef in a relaxing and welcoming setting. I’ll definitely be coming back for another round of this...

I visited this restaurant, as it was both on my list of restaurants to visit after seeing images of tasty meat, as well as it had been recommended to me many times over

You had to have reserved a table to get in, or at least that was the case on a Saturday and I recommend you do it anyway. We had a table reservation initially at the counter, but as we arrived at the restaurant we were asked if we would like to be seated at a table instead. So we did, and after that it was time for a feast

The atmosphere was great. People were seated on the floor in their own tatami rooms and on the tables. Everyone was smiling and enjoying a wonderful meal. The staff was kind and didn't seem to be in a hurry, which was a nice surprise to see in a Japanese restaurant.

We had chosen a course set menu, which came with various kinds of meat, a starter and a dessert. The meat was one of the best I've had to date, and everything else was up to the same standard. It truly is one of, if not the best restaurants to eat meat in Akita

The prices also surprised me. Everyone had told me that it's a super expensive restaurant, but looking at the menu I wouldn't say so. If you go with a group of 4 people (exactly), you can get a set menu + a drink of your choice for around 3,000 yen, which is more than reasonable. For 2 people the set menu was 8000 + any drinks you order. It is worth the price!

So, gather your friends and go enjoy a...

Great amazing beef fresh right off the grill! If you love Akita beef or meat in general this is the place for you! The place has all kinds of meat from beef to pork with different types as well! The A5 Wagyu Akita beef is a must try with the taste melting in your mouth! I recommend adding wasabi in for a nice contrasting taste or meat and spice. Definitely a must visit even if your far! You won’t be disappointed in your...
