肉の鶴々亭 Niku-no Tsurutsurutei — Restaurant in Osaka

I was looking forward to enjoying A5-grade wagyu, but unfortunately, the experience was a little disappointing. The texture of the wagyu was surprisingly tough — it didn’t have the melt-in-your-mouth quality I had expected from A5. Rather than fine marbling, the fat came in uneven chunks, which made the meat feel greasy in some bites and dry in others. It felt more like a struggle than an indulgence.

The pork slices were also quite firm and lacked tenderness, which made it difficult to enjoy them as part of a shabu experience.

I understand that sourcing and preparation can vary by restaurant, but at this price point, I was hoping for something more balanced in both flavor and texture. It might be worth considering other options if you’re looking for a truly premium...

Good variety of meats with reasonable price. We managed to enter the restaurant around 18:00-19:00 without any queue or reservation.

We had Kuroge wagyu A5 and a set of mixed parts including beef organs like Senmai and Heart. It was such a good quality meal before we left Japan

I really like yakiniku restaurants in Osaka. The Japanese black-haired wagyu is so delicious. A friend recommended this place, and since we had a gathering today, I decided to try it.The restaurant is easy to find. It's not far from the JR Tsuruhashi Station exit. They have a wide variety of meats to choose from for grilling, but if you want to keep it simple like me, you can just order a few meat platter sets.Also, I highly recommend the thick-cut beef tongue—it's a must-order. It's super tasty, and don't overcook it.If you're into beef intestines or tripe, you can get a platter of those too; they're fresh and odor-free. The second floor has large tables that seat 6-8 people. It's a great place to have friends over, grill...
