YunotakeAn — Restaurant in Yufu

The steaks were fantastic and cooked to perfection, soft and juicy. One of the best I have had in Japan. The mushrooms were delicious and fresh. They only serve limited quantities everyday.

Price is reasonable and quality...

Spacious and tastefully arranged interior and beautifully meditational view greets guest in this restaurant. Already a big plus upon arrival.

There are too many hype places with excessive seasoning covering up inferior ingredient but this place was not one of them. A bit not smooth in service but understand it was extremely busy lunch time. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for...
