Restaurants Ideal for One Person!

1. Misono in Ikebukuro

Misono is a yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant geared for those eating alone. It uses A5 rank wagyu beef and customers can order their meat by the slice and choose from the 55 different cuts of beef.

At a typical yakiniku shop, a set for one person usually consists of four or five pieces of the same cut of meat. This makes it difficult to try different kinds of meat if you are by yourself.
But no worries! This yakiniku shop has solved that problem.

Our recommendation is the moriawase (assorted meat) course, which costs 3,000 yen plus tax. This course features twelve different varieties of meat, allowing you to savor the taste of wagyu slice by slice.

This is the perfect shop for diners wanting to sample various cuts of beef when dining solo.
