4 Great Yakiniku Restaurants to Enjoy Miyazaki Beef

Miyazaki beef is a premium Wagyu raised in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. Known for its tenderness, beautiful marbling, and rich flavor, it's considered one of Japan's finest beef brands. Here are four carefully selected yakiniku restaurants where you can enjoy this exceptional beef.

• Kyushu
• Miyazaki
• Yakiniku

Aburiya Gyuzo

This yakiniku restaurant is run by an owner with a discerning eye who serves carefully selected Miyazaki beef. They focus on quality by sourcing rare female Wagyu cattle and serving only A4-grade beef or higher. A limited number of A5-grade Chateaubriand steaks, cut from the prized tenderloin, are also available.

The restaurant has 12 private and semi-private rooms where guests can stretch out and relax at sunken kotatsu tables. By combining the rooms, it can accommodate groups of up to 40 guests. Fully private rooms for two offer a comfortable setting to enjoy conversation and yakiniku, making them ideal for dates and family gatherings.

GYUZO Bettei

This yakiniku restaurant is run by an owner who grew up on a livestock farm and gained hands-on experience in raising and fattening cattle. Skilled at recognizing differences in meat quality and flavor, the owner also knows how to cut beef to bring out its best taste. Thanks to this expertise, the carefully selected beef, prized for its excellent marbling and overall quality, has earned a strong reputation.

In addition to premium yakiniku, the restaurant is known for seafood dishes made with freshly landed seafood. The seafood is briefly aged to enhance its flavor before being served at its peak.
