What makes it special
Premium harami and beef tongue are the cuts the restaurant leads with, alongside lightly seared wagyu preparations and yakisuki, a grilled cousin of sukiyaki. Sunken-floor private rooms seat two to four, which is unusual for a department-store restaurant floor and makes it workable for a longer sit-down than the location suggests.
How to visit

The roast beef bowl is a lunch item, served 11:00 to 15:00 only, at 1,490 yen. Reservations by web, phone, or LINE; walk-ins are also taken.
