YAKINIKU, meaning “grilled meat”, is a Japanese term that, in its broadest sense, refers to grilled meat cuisine. “YAKINIKU” originally referred to western “Barbecue” food. Today, “YAKINIKU” commonly refers to a Japanese style of cooking bitesize meat (usually beef and offal) and vegetables on gridirons or griddles over a flame of wood charcoals carbonized by dry distillation or a gas/electric grill. In many parts of the world, YAKINIKU is also commonly referred to as “Japanese Barbecue”.
Most of restaurants put “bite-size meat” on plate and serve it only. People eat it after grilled by themselves.
It was our common sense until FUTAGO opens in Tokyo…
WHAT CHANGED BY FUTAGO STYLE ?
FUTAGO STYLE
1. Just right amount of meats with just price
When order one type for one person in general yakiniku restaurant, there are 7 or 8 pieces of bite-size meat on a plate, so people cannot enjoy many kinds of meat because they’ll be full before ordering other meats.
2. Serve meats by best condition
Be able to eat meats at best, get a knowledge about meat, enjoy with conversation and more, getting repeaters will be available by these effectiveness.
3. Eat it Anytime, Not a Special Day
Yakiniku is known as meal for a special day. FUTAGO is trying to change that by FUTAGO STYLE such as “Just right amount of meats with just price”.
4. Satisfied with Carefully Selected Meats
During the popular lunch, only a small but divine selection of ramen is available, accompanied by a rich tonkotsu broth. The thing that sets a meal apart at this Japanese jewel is the stunning beef quality – cuts like black Wagyu or Hamideru kalbi are fantastically creamy, bold in meaty flavors and rich with fatty notes.
