Lmfao. 1950 for this quality of hida beef grilled with miso on hoba leaf should be illegal. With a couple of sides, vegetable (mostly roots) platter, Tofu with shoyu and grated ginger, some pickles, clear soup, rice.
no English menu there's pictures though so just point to the hoba leaf with hida beef on top in the menu. The rest of the tables are all Japanese, no gaijin so u know you're gonna have a good meal.
Seriously. Outstandingly good. I'm addicted to this dish. I ate it last night in a restaurant for 3000 yen and that can't compare even one bit to this. Not only does the beef melt in your mouth, its incredibly tasty and when I saw it served u knew it was gonna be good just looking at the raw meat. When you bite there's a burst of flavour that's hard to describe. So freaking amazing and of outstanding value. People always say "best beef in Japan", but hear this - I've been to Japan like 3 times so my standards are pretty fine tuned to Japanese standards. Just get the damn 1950 hoba leaf miso hida beef set. Too much value here.
Theres also I think a 2.9k sukiyaki set which is also incredibly inexpensive if you want sukiyaki not grilled.
5/5 would eat here again. The atmosphere of the place also felt so...

Read moreDuring our daytrip to Takayama, we stumbled across this quaint store. We wanted a full meal rather than having food trips from one place to another in the area 🙂 We basically rely on the photos posted in the entrance and to our surprise, it’s a traditional Japanese house and we were seated in lowered table in tatami floors! We waited a little while for our orders to get coz it’s lunchtime and a decent numbers of customers are inside before us which I assume we were only the tourist inside 😅
Ordered the Hida beef meal set (of course) and we gladly finished it all up 😋; we love how warm and comfy the dining setup here. Lastly, please note that they only...
