Ikinari Steak Fukuoka Tenjin — Restaurant in Fukuoka

Cheap steak period. If you’re in Japan for a long stretch and are hankering for a sizable slab of beef, this place is it. No frills and no chairs - you get the idea. I went with the local cow aged 20 days, their best. Due to it’s short dry age period, the steak had all the tenderness but without the dry age “funk”; something dry age fans (like myself) will gripe over. Come to think of it, the beef may have been wet aged as it wasn’t specified. But for the price, the tenderness, and the perfect cooking, this place is hard to beat. Just don’t expect this to have the same quality and beef flavour as you’d find at Morton’s, Delmonico’s,...

This Ikinari steak branch is located in Tenjin, 5-8 minutes walk from the station I exit. The restaurant is a decent size. There was no line when I arrived because it was past lunchtime.

The service is fast; you will get your food in less than 10 minutes, and they serve soup and salad while you wait for your steak.

The service is excellent, the Japanese lady is very friendly, and she will even give you a small bag box where you can place your stuff to eat...

American tourist and I did not know what to expect. The greeter led me to a counter seat for 1 and switched the order machine to English for me.

The counter seat was a little tight as I stored my winter jacket on my lap. I was unaware that you cook your own meat! I was not expecting this type of dining experience but I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan on returning....
