This is Yoon, the store manager. Thank you very much for your continued patronage. “Jan” is a yakiniku restaurant located in Otsuka, Toshima Ward, Tokyo, and we are happy to welcome you every day.
The city of Otsuka has a truly mysterious charm. Although it is a station on the Yamanote Line, it has a laid-back downtown atmosphere, and just a short walk away, you can hear the rumbling sound of Toden Arakawa Line trams. Although it is next to Ikebukuro, it is a little away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and allows you to breathe in a comfortable rhythm. I love the atmosphere of Otsuka and am proud to have opened a store here. Our store is a short walk from the north exit of the station, with Starbucks on the right, but every time I walk down this road every day,“Today, we hope to fill our customers with delicious meat.”It makes me feel tense.
Well, as the title of this blog says, today I would like to talk a lot about the “Yakiniku lunch” that you can enjoy at a great value in Otsuka from my perspective. In fact, we are very particular about not only our Yakiniku at night, but also at lunchtime.
[Why Jan’s Yakiniku Lunch is called the “best value for money”]
Frequently asked by customers“Jan’s lunch is the best value for money!”Thank you for your kind words. When you think of lunch at a yakiniku restaurant, some people may think of it being a bit expensive, but at our restaurant we have a strong desire to “enjoy truly delicious meat in a casual way in everyday life.”
Our restaurant, which specializes in Kuroge Wagyu beef, offers the highest quality A5 rank Wagyu beef at a reasonable price during the evening session. In addition, we generously use scraps from the process of handling this high-quality meat, as well as beef tendon, which is packed with flavor, in our lunch menu. This is the secret to creating a deep richness and flavor that cannot be imitated by other stores, and the biggest reason why we are able to offer our products at such low prices.
Now, let me introduce some of our popular lunch menus.
■Beef tendon beef curry (900 yen tax included)■
This beef tendon beef curry is essential when talking about our lunch menu. Kuroge Wagyu beef tendon is slowly simmered with vegetables until it becomes creamy. The flavor of the soft meat that falls apart when you put a spoon into it and the aroma of the spicy curry will whet your appetite. It also comes with namul and kimchi, making it a very popular curry plate unique to Yakiniku restaurants. Some of our regular customers say, “It’s better than curry restaurants!” I’m a little embarrassed, but it’s a dish I’m really proud of. We offer a large bowl of rice for free, so it’s especially recommended for those who want to recharge their batteries for work in the afternoon.
■Jan noodle lunch■ ・With small rice (1,200 yen, tax included) ・With mini beef bowl (1,500 yen, tax included)
The restaurant’s namesake “Jan noodles” is also a big star at lunchtime. The flavor of the meat and the sweetness of the vegetables melt into the spicy and spicy soup, and once you try it, you’ll be addicted to it. The chewy noodles mix well with the soup, and it makes me happy to see customers slurping them up while sweating. Furthermore, the set that comes with a mini beef bowl is full of volume! Of course, the meat used in this gyudon is the highest quality of our beef, and the sweet and salty seasoning goes perfectly with the rice.
[Adorable lunchtime episode]
The inside of the restaurant during lunch time is full of energy, which is different from that at night. For example, I have a customer who is an office worker at a nearby company and always comes to eat beef tendon curry every Tuesday and Thursday. everytime“I’d like a large bowl of rice, please.”They cheerfully order the food, finish it in no time, and go home with smiles on their faces and saying, “Okay, I’ll do my best this afternoon!” I feel like just looking at her gives me energy.
Also, during lunchtime on holidays, there are many customers with families. It’s a very heartwarming sight to see a father and mother sipping on Jan noodles while their children stuff their mouths with delicious mini beef bowls. Our restaurant is completely non-smoking (there is a smoking area outside), and strollers are welcome, so even families with small children can enjoy their meals in peace and at ease.
Furthermore, the number of customers who enjoy “small luxury from daytime” is increasing recently. More and more people are ordering meat a la carte along with their lunch menu.
Our most popular item“Wrapped green onion top tongue (2,750 yen tax included)”or,“Wagyu beef ribs (2,750 yen including tax)” and “Wagyu misuji (2,750 yen including tax)”It makes me feel happy to see people order additional items such as meat, and then enjoy grilling the meat thoroughly from noon. especially“Wrapped green onion top tongue”is a proud masterpiece made with carefully selected tongue generously wrapped in special green onions. The harmony of the bursting green onion aroma and overflowing meat juice is sure to satisfy both your stomach and soul during lunchtime.
[A blissful moment spent in a carefully selected space]
The interior of “Jan” emphasizes a chic and calm atmosphere for adults. We want to provide a space where you can relax and unwind during your lunch break.
The restaurant has many table seats that can seat 2 to 4 people, making it perfect for lunch with colleagues or a lunch date with your spouse. There is also a spacious horigotatsu tatami room at the back of the store that can accommodate up to 15 people. This is a great seat for evening banquets, but it can also be used when a group comes to the restaurant during lunchtime. If you stretch your legs, relax, and surround yourself with delicious meat, you’ll be sure to strike up a conversation naturally.
Our staff is“We want our customers to have a comfortable time.”With this in mind, we strive to provide hospitality every day. We always strive to provide service from the customer’s point of view, paying close attention to details such as when to refill cold plates and when to take down empty plates. As a result, we sometimes receive compliments such as, “Jan’s staff always serve customers with a smile and make you feel comfortable,” which is what motivates us more than anything.
[Aiming to become a yakiniku restaurant that takes root in the city of Otsuka]
Since we opened in 2014, we have been able to continue operating to this day thanks to the support of so many customers. My biggest goal is to continue to be a restaurant in Otsuka, a town with a downtown atmosphere, that is loved by the locals and that makes people remember, “When you want to eat delicious meat, go to Jan.”
Recently, we have seen an increase in the number of customers who come from far away to visit us after seeing our social media and blogs. When I hear someone say, “I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time, and I’m finally here!”, it makes me feel like all my hard work has paid off, and it fills my heart. We will continue to strive to improve the quality and taste of our meat, and our service, without being satisfied with the status quo.
[“Jan” at night is also attractive]
Up to this point, I have told you a lot about the charm of lunchtime, but of course “Jan” at night is also the best! During dinner time in the evening, it is used for a wider range of occasions, including entertainment, anniversaries, and drinking parties with friends.
We especially recommend our specialty course meals.
■Wagyu Beef Enjoyment Course (7,700 yen tax included)■
This course, which boasts the number one repeat rate at our restaurant, includes a total of 16 luxurious dishes, including the famous “wrapped green onion top tongue” that we introduced earlier, heart salt, large-sized wagyu beef sirloin, and grilled wagyu beef nigiri. A place where you can enjoy the highest quality A5 rank Wagyu beef to your heart’s content.“Real Wagyu Beef Course”is.
We also offer a great value all-you-can-drink option for those who come for company farewell parties, company launches, etc.
■All-you-can-drink for 2 hours (2,200 yen tax included)■
