HIKARIGAOKA: Kalbi-Ya Yakiniku Restaurant with a very stripped down value meal... really not a deal. (Lumix GM1)

What no smoking! Sweet... but in a smokey bbq shop?

Rode my bike to pick up some of my favorite Arrabiatta sauce at Yama-Ya and on the back way back decided to give Kalbi-Ya lunch a try.

I don't tend to go too bonkers with franchise family style yakiniku shops because the meat is rarely top grade.  So my cheap butt went for the 680 yen yakiniku lunch set.

Lots of sauces and spicy Korean paste.

This was the entire lunch combo... no salad, no kimchee, no pickles and no tea. So at 680 yen stripped of what normally comes with yakiniku lunch then this wasn't much of a deal at all.

3 selections...  Chicken, Pork and Kalbi.

The grill must have been charcoal because with every splash of fat the flames went nuts.

Little packets of garlic.

Overall the of course the chicken and pork was tender but the kalbi was tough tough.  

Picked up another camera! Lumix GM1 but the zoom ring is a bit not foodie friendly so will go back to using my Sony RX100 or a combo of both.  Oh well...
