About this spot
Sumibiyaki Kagura delivers intense, smoky flavor by grilling meat directly over charcoal ash rather than traditional wood, creating a distinct char on the beef and tripe. The Yanaka neighborhood vibe feels timeless here, where you can watch chefs expertly manage the open fire before your meal arrives. Expect to order specific cuts like the fatty ribeye or tender tripe that absorb the deep, earthy smoke of the sumibiyaki method.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order a small side of grated daikon radish to cleanse your palate between rich, smoky bites of beef and tripe.
- Bring cash only, as this traditional spot in Yanaka does not accept credit cards or mobile payments.
- Arrive early or be prepared to wait, as the open-fire grilling process limits how many customers can be seated at once.
