01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Lightly seared on a skillet and tossed with a glossy egg yolk before being ladled over steaming white rice, Inazuma Dama sets the tone. Standing near an intersection in Nihonbashi Kakigaracho, Inazuma Yakiniku directly showcases the appeal of premium wagyu paired with rich seasonings designed to have diners shoveling down bowl after bowl of rice.
Anchoring the meat selection is the restaurant's home-reared Sendai beef, raised 6 to 8 months longer than the market average. This extended fattening yields a mellow sweetness in the loin, deep richness in the lean cuts that builds with every chew, and a three-cut tasting platter showcasing the day's handpicked cuts—all highlighting the beef's naturally concentrated umami. The menu also offers thick, juicy grilled cuts such as deluxe salted tongue and thick-cut tongue sourced from the base of the tongue, as well as specially selected wagyu skirt steak with pronounced beefy flavor.
A Distinctive Lineup Built for Rice and Drinks
Beyond orthodox salt and tare marinades, inventive touches designed to stimulate the appetite are a major draw here. Junk Roast, grilled juicy in a house sauce loaded with garlic and spices, delivers a punchy flavor that makes it hard to stop eating rice or sipping a drink. Gari-Taku Roast wraps high-grade loin around minced pickled ginger and takuan radish, creating an ingenious combination of sweet fat, crisp acidity, and pleasant crunch.
Meals flow smoothly from appetizers to palate cleansers, starting with Honki no Mix Namul—a hearty toss of 3 homemade vegetable namul seasoned with Korean seaweed—and moving to a refreshing chilled soup to reset the palate between grilled meats. Alongside draft beer and highballs, drinks feature distinctive choices like bamboo charcoal lemon sour and bamboo charcoal soda, each offering a crisp counterpoint to the rich beef.
To finish, options include dashi-accented chilled Inazuma Reimen, clean-tasting gukbap, and vanilla ice cream topped with popping candy. With both counter and table seating, the dining room suits everything from lively dinners with friends to an unhurried evening focused squarely on good meat, all in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
