A New Era for Yakiniku Yamamoto

Yakiniku Yamamoto, a legendary restaurant in Hachioji, is proudly reopening its doors under the name 'Nikuno Yamamoto no Yakiniku' on October 16, 2025, marking an incredible 78 years of rich tradition and dedication to high-quality meat. To celebrate this momentous occasion, the restaurant will hold a special two-day event, 'Half-Price Food Menu Festival,' on October 25 and 26, allowing all guests to indulge in delicious offerings at a fraction of the cost.

The Story Behind Yakiniku Yamamoto

Established in 1947, Yakiniku Yamamoto began its journey as a modest butcher shop in Hachioji, just a few years after World War II devastated the area. The vision of the founder, deeply immersed in the desire to share good meat with the community and beyond, led to the transformation of the butcher shop into a full-service restaurant. Initially, it offered traditional Japanese dishes like sukiyaki and shabu-shabu, before evolving into a beloved yakiniku destination.

As Japan’s food landscape shifted, so did the restaurant’s offerings. A commitment to quality and a keen eye for sourcing prime cuts from various regions ensured that Yakiniku Yamamoto remained at the forefront of culinary excellence. Today, it enjoys esteemed patronage from locals, including families who have visited across three generations.

A New Leaf: Nikuno Yamamoto no Yakiniku

The name change to 'Nikuno Yamamoto no Yakiniku' reflects the restaurant’s dedication to embracing the future while honoring its past. This shift aims to make the restaurant even more accessible to a modern clientele while continuing the legacy of offering only the best cuts of black Wagyu, carefully selected by skilled butchers.

With a focus on rare ingredients, the restaurant will serve A4-grade domestic black Wagyu beef, ensuring not just marbling but taste and freshness are at the core of the dining experience. Each cut is sourced not just for its quality but for the unique flavor profiles that the best meat can provide.

The 'Half-Price Food Menu Festival' will commence on October 25 and 26, from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, offering all visitors the opportunity to try various dishes that exemplify the restaurant’s commitment to quality, at half the price.
