Heard great reviews of this establishment and how delicious the red beef rice was. We were around the Aso region so decided to visit and we reached on a Monday morning at about 1105am as they only opened at 11am. We were already number 27 and had to wait for an hour before we could dine in. The service was good and they had 2 storeys of dining area. We ordered the famous beef rice but were disappointed that the beef wasn’t the melt with each bite kind but chewy and sometimes hard to break off. Nothing special about the rice with an egg. Would I return and queue again? Apology but a big No.

Came here 2 hours before close. Saw people queing with number and waited by the kitchen door and a waitress will come out once in awhile to call the number. After that just let her know that you are waiting and she will give you a que number with estimated waiting time which is pretty accurate. She told me about 10 mins and i entered roughly 10 mins later. We ordered the beef bowl, stew beef and minced beef bowl. Everything is good but i dont think its worth the wait if its 30 mins or longer. The beef "akaushi" is slightly leaner and tougher compared to other beef. I personally prefer it over wagyu melt in the mouth type. So just a heads up if you are particular about the textures of beef.

Took a long drive check out this famous beef rice. Got to wait 2 hours on a Monday and was told is normal. The Beef Rice set is worth it.

All the dishes that we order is delicious and the beef fragrance smell is none . It’s worth to wait for the long queue. The noodle chambon also very nice. Service is good and quick. Must try ! Highly recommended and I would return back again . There’s free car parking around.
