Founded in 1958 (Showa 33), this is the direct-managed restaurant of a wholesale lamb supplier that delivers to Genghis Khan restaurants nationwide every day. The signature Yoshitsune-yaki is the soul food of Yonezawa citizens — lamb marinated in a secret miso sauce, grilled on an iron plate to create a sweet and savory aroma unlike anything else. 150,000 portions consumed annually. Fully booked within minutes of opening on weekends. 6-minute walk from Yonezawa Station.

Reviews say: 'Yoshitsune-yaki, loved for over half a century, is Yonezawa soul food.' 'Lines form before opening on weekends.' 'Outstanding sake selection with tasting options.'
