What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A directly-operated wagyu restaurant founded in 1981 with its own farm in Amakusa. They raise 'Amakusa Black Cattle' (born and raised in Amakusa, grade 4 or higher quality) and serve it directly from the farm. Selected as Tabelog Yakiniku Best 100 WEST for 2022 and 2023. Awarded Michelin Bib Gourmand in the Kumamoto/Oita 2018 special edition. Remarkably affordable—lunches from 1,000 yen let you enjoy chateaubriand and sirloin. Adjacent butcher shop also serves locals daily.

Reviews rave about the exceptional value: 'softest wagyu I've ever had' and 'can't believe I'm eating chateaubriand for under 3,000 yen per person.' Michelin Bib Gourmand and Tabelog Best 100 regular. Negative reviews only mention long waits, never the meat quality.
