All-you-can-eat Japanese Black Beef for 2,450 yen per plate! Juicy, melt-in-your-mouth sukiyaki (Kajicho, Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu)

Hello. This is Chihilog, a casual blog that provides information about Fukuoka, with a focus on gourmet food.

This time, I'd like to introduce you to some delicious sukiyaki that really impressed me.

Shabuzen Kokura Branch, a shabu-shabu and sukiyaki specialty restaurant beloved by locals (Kajicho, Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City)

You can have as much rice and pickles as you like, so make sure you go on an empty stomach. You can choose from large, medium, or small portions of rice.

The eggs, which are essential for sukiyaki, are from "Hatanaka Egg Breeding Farm" in Iizuka City. Their rich flavor goes perfectly with the high-quality meat.

Another great thing about Shabuzen Kokura is that the staff will cook your sukiyaki right in front of you, so you can enjoy your meat and vegetables in the best possible condition.

The delicious sizzling sound of the meat being grilled and the mouthwatering aroma will get you excited.

The special sauce is made by hand in each store every day.

The moment you bite into the meat, the fibers softly fall apart and the delicious flavor fills your mouth. The refined flavor of the broth makes it even more delicious!

This was the first time I've ever had such delicious sukiyaki! It was as expected from meat that costs 2,450 yen per slice!

Since it's an all-you-can-eat buffet, I decided to make something extravagant like beef bowl.

I used three slices of meat, each costing 2,450 yen, so the total came to about 7,500 yen...!

The rice was coated in sauce that had absorbed the umami flavor, and the juicy meat and egg yolk added a mellow flavor, making for an absolutely delicious dish.

Refills of meat are served on a flat plate, so you can order as many as you like.

By the way, just like the "All-you-can-eat Special Kuroge Wagyu Beef Sukiyaki," until Wednesday, November 29, 2023, you can enjoy the "Special Kuroge Wagyu Beef Sukiyaki (120g meat)," which normally costs 6,000 yen, for 3,800 yen, and the "Special Kuroge Wagyu Beef Sukiyaki (180g meat)," which normally costs 8,450 yen, for 6,000 yen.

The "All-you-can-eat Special Kuroge Wagyu Beef Sukiyaki" was a very satisfying experience, allowing us to enjoy the exquisite meat to our heart's content.

Please give it a try. (Text by CHIHIRO)
