[Numabukuro Heiwaen] Wasabi Ribs of the Lonely Gourmet🏡🥩

About 10 minutes on foot from Numabukuro Station. If you walk down a quiet residential alley, you will find Yakiniku Heiwaen (平和苑) in a place where you will think, “Huh? There is a meat restaurant in a place like this?” As soon as you turn the alley, the old-fashioned exterior and the strong smell of charcoal catch your eye… You will immediately feel that “Ah, this is definitely a great restaurant!” This is a famous restaurant famous for its Wasabi Ribs (わさびカルビ) that also appeared in the Japanese drama “The Lonely Gourmet.” The quality of the meat is crazy… 🥩❤️ Personally, the thing that impressed me the most about this restaurant was the quality of the meat. In particular, the Wasabi Ribs, no words are needed. The meat is so fresh and tender that even if you just lightly cook it, the juices burst out, and if you eat it with the raw wasabi… you will feel a fantastic harmony in your mouth. It is also good value for money, so if it is your first visit, this is a menu that I definitely recommend! 🍽️✨ Tips for eating Wasabi Galbi deliciously 1. Grill only one side of the meat first, until the surface is glossy 2. Flip over and cook briefly, 3. Put fresh wasabi on top and roll it up! The soft ribs are combined with the spicy flavor of wasabi! 😋 The rare cuts are good, but the quantity is a little disappointing I also ordered rare cuts like ‘Samgak (三角)’ and ‘Maru (丸)’, and they were delicious as expected. The soft and rich flavor is the best! However, the quantity is small, so it’s perfect for enjoying 1-2 pieces. I recommend this to those who want to try various cuts. 🍚🥚✨ Rice + raw egg + natto = A rice thief combination I ordered a rice and raw egg set, and a little salty, dried-style natto came out… This is a real rice thief. There is no fishy smell, and if you put a few eggs on top of rice mixed with raw eggs, it might be the most delicious combination after meat. 🥬 Kimchi is good, and there is also seaweed soup & yukgaejang?! Unlike Korea, yakiniku restaurants do not have side dishes🥲 I ordered kimchi as a side to reduce the greasiness of the meat, and it was delicious, and when I looked at the menu, there were also soup menus like seaweed soup and yukgaejang. It was a point that gave off a slightly Korean vibe. 📋 Atmosphere & Tips Summary • A traditional, old restaurant run by a grandmother • There is a lot of smoke because they grill over charcoal → If the fire is strong, say “Please give me ice~” and they will reduce the heat • If you go at opening time, you can get in right away, but after 7 PM, there are many local customers, so there may be a wait! • Be sure to check the regular closing time on Mondays and Tuesdays! “A restaurant worth stopping by in Tokyo just for the wasabi ribs.” If you want to experience the true feeling of a lonely gourmet, be sure to visit Numabukuro's Heiwaen! 📍3 Chome-23-2 Numabukuro, Nakano City, Tokyo 165-0025 ⏰ 18:00-22:00 Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays 💴 Cash accepted, no credit cards accepted ✔️ Business hours may be irregular depending on the grandmother's condition.
