This is Yoon, the store manager.
Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Yakiniku Stadium Jan, which specializes in Kuroge Wagyu Beef. Also, for those of you who have not visited our store yet, thank you for finding this blog.
Today, I would like to talk a lot about the appeal of the “lunch time” that our restaurant is proud to offer, along with my passionate thoughts.
[Jan’s history with the city of Otsuka]
Our store “Jan” is located in Toshima Ward, Tokyo, just a short walk from the north exit of Otsuka Station on the JR Yamanote Line. The town of Otsuka is conveniently located near huge terminal stations such as Ikebukuro and Shinjuku, but the Toden Arakawa Line (Tokyo Sakura Tram) runs at a leisurely pace, and it is a truly wonderful town with a somewhat relaxing downtown atmosphere and a strong sense of warmth from the people.
I personally love the vibrancy of Otsuka and the friendly atmosphere of the people who live and work there. Since we opened our store, we have been able to continue operating to this day thanks to the support of not only local people but also many customers who come from far and wide to visit us.
In Otsuka, I am most proud of seeing people’s smiling faces as they say, “It’s delicious!” and it’s what motivates me every day.
[A former boxer’s fighting spirit and uncompromising passion for meat]
Let me tell you a little bit about my personal story.
I, Yoon, used to be in the world of professional boxing. During his active years, he sweated every day in the ring and continued to burn his fighting spirit toward victory. Delicious meat supported me both physically and mentally during the rigorous weight loss and grueling training sessions.
Eating delicious yakiniku gave me a strange feeling of strength and a positive feeling of “Let’s do our best tomorrow!”
After retiring, I decided to step into a new ring called “food” and launch Yakiniku Stadium Jan with the determination to bring everyone the best smiles and stamina for tomorrow.
Cultivated during boxing daysAn unyielding spirit of “never compromise” and “never give up until the end”is still firmly rooted in me.
This is reflected in our daily purchasing and preparation practices. Our restaurant specializes in Japanese black beef, and we have absolute confidence in the quality of our meat.
I only purchase high-quality Kuroge Wagyu beef that I have carefully inspected with my own eyes. The marbling, the luster of the meat, the sweetness of the fat. Compromise on any of these is not allowed.
The battle to deliver delicious meat to customers begins every morning at the market.
[Why is Jan’s lunch called the “best value for money”]
Since our restaurant specializes in Kuroge Wagyu beef, there are many people who think, “Isn’t this a bit of an expensive restaurant that you can only go to at night?” However, our restaurant is also doing its best during lunch time. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that my passion is put into lunch.
During the limited time of your lunch break, I would like you to fully charge your energy for your afternoon work or errands. I want you to eat delicious meat and get through the afternoon with energy.
With this in mind, we offer high-quality Kuroge Wagyu beef lunches at prices that are at the very limits of profitability. We are able to achieve this cost performance through our unique purchasing route and by using every part of the meat to its full potential.
Now, we would like to introduce some of our proud “best value for money” lunch menus.
■Introducing recommended lunch menu■
・Wagyu beef short rib lunch (1,100 yen)
This is our standard lunch menu and the most popular menu item. We use a variety of parts of Kuroge Wagyu beef in a well-balanced manner, allowing you to fully enjoy the sweetness of the fat and the flavor of the lean meat.
We are proud that Jan’s unique strength is that you can enjoy Kuroge Wagyu beef short ribs at this price from lunchtime.
・Top rib cut off lunch (1700 yen) [Limited quantity]
This is a limited menu only known to those in the know, and often sells out immediately after opening. Because we use the “cut off” parts that are left when cutting high-quality meat, the shape may be irregular, but the taste and quality are exactly the same as the special meat served at night. You can enjoy the juicy and melt-in-the-mouth ribs and the tongue, which is full of flavor as you bite into it, at an amazing price. This is a must-try item if you find it.
・Harami lunch (1,300 yen)
Skirt steak is thick, tender, and allows you to enjoy the rich flavor of the meat, making it a firm favorite among both men and women. It’s not too greasy and goes perfectly with the special sauce that goes with the rice.
・Stamina lunch (1,100 yen)
I want to take it one step further in the afternoon! This is the one that is perfect for you. An assortment of chewy and flavorful parts such as miso tongue, offal, and heart. When the offal is coated with a rich miso sauce and grilled on a grill until it becomes fragrant, you will definitely not be able to stop eating it. (*Contents may change depending on purchasing status)
・Jan’s stew beef bowl (900 yen)
Apart from Yakiniku, this special beef bowl is extremely popular. Wagyu beef cuts from various parts are slowly simmered in a special sauce to give it a sweet and spicy flavor. The meat is simmered until it becomes soft and melty and melts in your mouth. It goes perfectly with the namul and kimchi that come with it, making it a hearty dish.
・Cold noodle lunch (with mini bibimbap 1,200 yen / with mini beef bowl 1,500 yen)
Recommended for those who want to have a refreshing lunch. This is a great-value menu that includes cold noodles that go down smoothly and a mini-sized bowl.
■Lunch is full of delightful services■
Yakiniku lunch includes rice, soup, and drink. What’s more, we want you to be satisfied with the meat, so we’re offering a large serving of rice free of charge! The sauce-stained rice made with delicious meat is a truly blissful experience.
In addition, some regular customers enjoy a slightly more luxurious side menu. For example, for an additional 300 yen, you can change the regular soup that comes with lunch to our signature “Yukkejang Soup.”
The spicy yukkejang soup, which combines the flavor of beef and the sweetness of vegetables, will warm your heart and body. Another popular way to enjoy it is to add “Lunch Kimchi (300 yen)” and eat it with meat wrapped in rice like a sandwich.
[Heartwarming episodes with customers]
During lunchtime, the restaurant is crowded with a wide range of customers, including office workers and office workers working in nearby offices, as well as families living nearby.
One day, there was a regular office worker who always came to the store in a hurry during his lunch break. Normally, he would just have a quick wagyu beef short rib lunch and go home, but on that day, he thought, “I finished a big project today!” and as a reward to himself, he enjoyed a limited-edition cut-off short rib lunch and a drink after the meal.
On the way home“Yun-san, eating the meat here really gives me energy. I can do my best again tomorrow!”When he said to me with a smile, my heart warmed. It was a moment when I realized once again that what we provide is not just a meal, but someone’s “vitality.”
[Please enjoy Jan at night]
It is a great pleasure for us to see so many customers come back and say, “Next time, I’ll come back for dinner after getting to know our restaurant’s taste for lunch.”
For dinner in the evening, we offer a variety of special menu items that cannot be enjoyed at lunch, such as a large wagyu beef sirloin and our specialty, the wrapped green onion tongue, which is a surprise to many customers.
This masterpiece, made with thickly sliced juicy beef tongue wrapped in plenty of crunchy green onions, has been well-received and is said to be unforgettable once you try it. We also offer the Wagyu Beef Enjoyment Course, which is perfect for parties, so we hope you will enjoy it for a variety of occasions, such as drinking parties with friends or celebrating anniversaries with your loved ones.
