にくがとう 千葉駅前店 — Restaurant in Chiba

Had to head out to Chiba Station to meet some friends that lived near the area.

I found out that "Nikutagoto" is also in Chiba, so we decided to check it out. The location was convenient as it was 3 minutes from near Chiba Station!

We started off the course with appetizers (homemade kimchi and namul platter). The seasoning was spot-on and made me want rice right away.

Next up was a cold meat platter with heart, tripe, and more. It was delicious.

There was a dish with Cambodian pepper added to braised tendon. It was tender and flavorful without any strong aftertaste.

For the grilled meat part, we had thick-cut special tongue, tripe with Tasmanian mustard, and skirt steak with truffle salt. All of the grilled meat came out perfectly soft and crispy.

The specialty dishes were a highlight too. The 100% Wagyu mini hamburger was just the right size, packed with meaty goodness. The seared ichibo (rump cap) was served sukiyaki-style, with the staff grilling it in front of us and dipping it in beaten egg—absolutely delicious.

We also har A5 lean rump and fillet with their signature rock rice dish. The staff dipped the meat in a special sauce and grilled it perfectly. The fillet on rice, with the leftover egg from the sukiyaki, was a great way to change up the flavor.

The course offered many other dishes and all were tailored to give an unforgettable experienced.

The staff were really polite and professional. The dishes they grilled for us for all grilled to perfection.

I recently visited a Japanese wagyu BBQ restaurant in Chiba, recommended by a friend. I was curious to see what made it so popular with celebrities. The walls were lined with autographed boards, a classic nod from visiting stars. The staff’s enthusiasm for the menu and their local Japanese sake recommendations added to the experience. Speaking of the sake—it’s a must-try! I was lucky to get a freshly opened bottle, and it was wonderfully fruity and smooth with a hint of effervescence. The selection is impressive, and each flavor feels crafted to enhance the dishes and bring an authentic touch to the meal. Now, onto the highlight—the rare wagyu cuts. I had the tongue, harami, and flank, and every bite was heavenly. The wagyu was tender, incredibly flavorful, and grilled just right. I recommend asking the staff for grilling tips, as each cut deserves special attention, and many high-end BBQ spots will grill for you. This place is more of a DIY spot, but the staff were happy to guide me, making each dish even more delicious and teaching me a few tricks along the way. If you love Japanese BBQ or just want a spot with amazing food and a welcoming vibe, this place is for you. The prices are reasonable, and it’s perfect for a foodie gathering. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend...

A Meat Feast at Nikugatou❤️‍🔥

The selection in Nikugatou is vast, offering different cuts and cooking methods that cater to every preference. The cold meat dishes were paired with sauces that perfectly complemented their flavors, making for a refreshing start, especially in the summer heat.

Two of my favourites areSukiyaki-style Ichibo and tasting of Rump and Hile Rock. (Must Try!) The Sukiyaki-style Ichibo was a visual and culinary delight, with thick, blanket-like layers of meat that melted in your mouth when paired with fresh eggs from Hyogo.

Another standout dish was the tasting of Rump and Hile Rock. The chef marinated the meat in a special soy sauce while grilling in front of you, resulting in a juicy and flavorful experience, perfect for both your taste buds and Instagram feed.

They have many different course options, which offered a wide variety of dishes, even for those who prefer not to eat raw meat. The cozy atmosphere made it ideal for family gatherings or small parties. If you’re a meat lover, Nikugatou is definitely...
