Freshly Grilled Kalbi Opens Its New Location

On December 11, 2025, the renowned restaurant chain, Freshly Grilled Kalbi, will celebrate the grand opening of its 35th outlet, located at 3-4-8 Sumiyoshi, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The company behind this culinary delight is Monogatari Corporation, which proudly operates this specialty restaurant featuring matured meat dishes, aiming to bring affordable gourmet experiences to all.

What to Expect at Freshly Grilled Kalbi

At Freshly Grilled Kalbi, customers can indulge in the signature dish, the "Grilled Kalbi Bowl," as well as the delicious "Yukgaejang Soup." These dishes are crafted with a focus on high-quality ingredients—especially matured beef, meticulously prepared in-house. The restaurant prides itself on preparing each beef slice fresh on-site, grilled to perfection post-order using high heat, which enhances the natural flavors and aroma of the meat.

The carefully crafted sauce for the Grilled Kalbi Bowl combines 20 unique ingredients, creating a harmonized balance of sweetness, spiciness, and tanginess. For the rice, only 100% domestically sourced grains are used, ensuring a superb pairing with the meat and sauce.

Furthermore, the Yukgaejang Soup is prepared from scratch using a hand鍋 technique, focusing on rich flavors. Fresh beef forms the base of a special broth, which is given an extra kick through carefully selected Korean soybean paste and gochujang. The moment you take a sip, the deep umami flavor of the beef unfolds pleasantly, promising an enriching culinary experience.
