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.

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.'
