Charcoal Yakiniku Botan
A reservation-scarce yakiniku sanctuary just 1 minute from Shin-Yabashira Station. Selected for Tabelog Yakiniku Top 100 for three consecutive years (2022–2024). Premium wagyu grilled over charcoal is exceptional, with regulars saying 'this quality at this price is Yabashira's miracle.' Reservations are booked weeks in advance, with lines forming before the 5 PM opening. A small 35-seat gem leading the local yakiniku scene. Sister restaurant Shiro Botan in Higashi-Matsudo is the only other location (2 total).
"Can't believe such a gem exists in Shin-Yabashira." "Three consecutive years in the Top 100—well deserved." "The quality of the tripe is insane. I want to know where they source it." "Weeks without a reservation, but I never give up."
