TOSHIMAEN: Yakiniku Sanga to give the pig feet and least expensive 330 yen young kalbi a try! (OLYMPUS E-PM1)

Yakiniku Sanga in one of the most popular restaurants in Toshimaen... an area that has so very few restaurants but hopefully that will change when the new Harry Potter park opens in 2023.

Lined up at 4:50pm on a Thursday evening!  Only about 5 people lined up... on the weekends it usually a 1.5 to 2 hour wait. 

Oh my this 1,980 yen meat looked sooo good. 

Bottled beer!  My old Olympus E-PM1 doesn`t automatically rotate photos...

The Kalbi menu!  Little did I realize that there was a 330 yen yakiniku menu option called Young Kalbi.

480 yen Kalbi! The few marbled pieces were soo tender but the other pieces I just couldn`t bite into the fatty part... unfortunately it ended up in a tissue. 

480 yen Harami!

480 yen Rooosu...!

Friend ordered chilled pig feet! Said the collagen is great for your skin... just 1 piece for me. 

Kimchee set.

Now for the Young Kalbi 330 yen!  It just looked so supermarket grade... it wasn`t very good and a bit tough.   

And we close out the bill! 4,150 yen for 2 people.  This night the meat wasn`t as tender as usual... find it odd as so many restaurants are closed due to Covid (coronavirus) that high quality beef must be accessible at deep discounts due to low demand.  Anyways was a miss this night will try again!

I have alot of cameras but mainly use my Sony RX100 due to the great low light F1.8 lens but this day took out an old school Olympus E-PM1... less bokeh with 14mm F2.5 lens so everything is in focus. Need to take out my other once in a while.

TOSHIMAEN: Yakiniku Sanga with my favorite couple for a bit of celebration... it was SOOO YUMMM this night!! (Sony RX100)

Toshimaen has sooooo few restaurants that people tend to jam everything in the area and even more so due to coronavirus.  BUT took my favorite couple to Yakiniku Sanga. Yakiniku from 430 yen!!

Lots of clear plastic barriers set up due to Covid19

Every one of these plates is only 430 yen!  Because of corona many cattle farms are having difficulty selling stock and I think the grade of beef here has elevated... 

This was the most super melty tender.... Don:t remember if this was kalbi, rosu or harami.

Gyu-tan.. beef tongue!

The only shot i took with my iPhone 7.  Rest is Sony RX100.  This mixed Kimchee plate was soooo flavorful!  Just loved it. 

Scissors and a pot!

Huge potted kalbi!

Everything was so incredibly tender this night... BUT waiting time on a Saturday is 1.5 to 2 hours so this is definitely a place for locals who can hang out at home or the Italian wine bar Casa del Viaggiatore next door.

Hopefully this town will have more places to dine once the new Harry Potter theme park opens in 2023!

TOSHIMAEN: Yakiniku Sanga... 430yen all day long no need to touch the 2,000yen meats! Very nice and wallet friendly!

Finally finally finally hit up my one and only yakiniku shop in my neighborhood with 2 visiting friends from Hawaii.  Who can miss this big red 430yen sign!

Sanga Harami, Ro-su and Kalbi 430yen.

Lots of great standard Yakiniku items on the menu.

Kimchee

Kalbi and Scallops

Harami and Ro-su.

430yen Kalbi!

Ordered a 2nd dish of 430yen Kalbi but it wasn't as tender... hmm...

1,980yen for just this one plate Kuroge Wagyu!  You could almost get 5 plates of the house special.

Closed with a Yuzu sherbet ice cream

I ordered a bottle of beer and the girls had sake... just enough food that came out to 2,100yen each... not too bad!

I'm sure to return... 430yen meats hit the spot and the push botton ordering system with friendly staff was nice.  Oh this place was rebuild this year due to a fire and its very nice inside!
