This is Yoon, the store manager. Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Otsuka’s Yakiniku restaurant “Jan”. It’s already June on the calendar. The refreshing breeze of early summer is pleasant, and it’s fun to walk around in the evening breeze.How are you all doing?
Today, we would like to introduce our store’s greatest weapon, which we often receive compliments from our customers.[Best cost performance]I would like to talk about this topic with my passion.
[Determination to survive in the fierce Yakiniku battleground of Otsuka]
Otsuka, where our store is located, is a truly attractive town where the Toden Arakawa Line runs, which retains the retro atmosphere of the Showa era, and where the warmth of the downtown area and new culture intersect. Just a short walk from the north exit of the station, you will find many restaurants.
In particular, there are many famous yakiniku restaurants, and it is no exaggeration to say that the area is truly a yakiniku battleground. In order to continue to be chosen by Otsuka customers who have a discerning ear, or even a discerning palate, superficial things like “cheap” or “large quantity” will never work.
I think the real“The best cost performance”means that when a customer checks out“Eh, can you eat such high-quality meat for this price?”We want our guests to be truly surprised and leave with a big smile on their faces.
We offer the highest quality A5-ranked Kuroge Wagyu beef at a quality that rivals high-end restaurants, and at an affordable price that can only be found in the downtown area. This is Jan’s unwavering concept, and it is also my pride as the store manager.
■I definitely want you to eat it! Jan’s 3 most cost-effective menu selections■
Here, we would like to introduce three of our proud menus that boast overwhelming cost performance and are a must-try when you visit our restaurant.
1. Undisputed 1st place: Wrapped green onion top tongue (2,750 yen)

This is by far our most popular menu and is ordered by most of our customers. We only use “Tanmoto”, which is the softest and fatty type of beef tongue.
Carefully cut into the thickly sliced tongue, we fill it with fluffy green onions seasoned with a special seasoning.
When grilled on a wire rack, the tongue on the outside becomes fragrant and crispy, and the green onions on the inside absorb the flavor and juices of the tongue, creating a steam-grilled state.
When you take a bite, the juicy meat juices and the refreshing flavor of green onions fill your mouth, making it a truly blissful moment. The price of 2,750 yen may be the price of a few extra pieces of tongue at a typical yakiniku restaurant, but if you experience the volume and impressive taste of our dish, you will definitely agree that it is the best value for money.
2. An explosion of Japanese beef flavor: large sirloin (1,430 yen)
A5 rank Japanese black beef sirloin for 1,430 yen. When customers see the menu for the first time, their eyes widen in surprise.
A large piece of sirloin with beautiful marbling is quickly grilled on a grill. High-quality Wagyu beef fat has a low melting point, so it melts and disappears as soon as you put it in your mouth.
This large-sized sirloin also comes with “special egg rice” as a service. The meat is quickly grilled in a sweet and spicy sauce, then dipped into a rich egg, then wrapped in rice.
The flavor of the meat, the aroma of the sauce, the mellowness of the egg, and the white rice. Since you can enjoy the excitement of these four elements for only 1,430 yen, it is no exaggeration to say that this menu is worth the loss.
3. A taste that can only be achieved through freshness: Heart Salt (990 yen)

Although the price is less than 1,000 yen, this salt has many enthusiastic fans. Because we use fresh heart that is harvested in the morning, there is no odor typical of internal organs. It is characterized by its pleasant crispness and light flavor that oozes out the more you chew. Try grilling it quickly, squeezing a little lemon, and eating it with green onions. Some of our regular customers“I like heart salt more than tongue salt!”Some people say that it is a hidden masterpiece. It’s also the perfect accompaniment to alcohol.
[Banquet and date. Jan’s course that colors Otsuka’s night]
In addition to single-item menus, we also offer course meals that allow you to fully experience the cost-effectiveness of Jan. In particular, I would like to recommend:[Wagyu Beef Enjoyment Course (7,700 yen)]is.
This course includes the previously introduced“Wrapped green onion top tongue”or“Large sirloin”The lineup includes a total of 16 items, including assorted kimchi, sashimi of the day, grilled wagyu beef, skirt steak, and dessert. In addition, we also offer a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option (2,200 yen) that is irresistible for alcohol lovers. It’s a full menu with over 30 types of beer to choose from, including draft beer, frozen beer, and lemon sour. Even if you combine it with the course, you will receive change for 10,000 yen, which is an amazing cost performance, and the organizer says“You can’t get this quality of meat at other restaurants with this budget.”Thank you very much for your kind words.
■An episode about the warm town of Otsuka and a customer■
What makes me really happy about having a shop in Otsuka are the moments when I feel a warm connection with my customers. “Jan” is located in an easily accessible location, 3 minutes walk from the north exit, next to Matsuya, but we created it with the aim of creating a chic and calm space for adults. We also have semi-private rooms that can accommodate 2 or more people, and are often used for special occasions such as dates and anniversary celebrations.
One weekend night, we had a young couple come to our store for the first time. Looking a little nervous, he took a seat in a semi-private room and ordered the wagyu beef course. Every time I brought them a piece of meat, they would say, “Wow, that’s amazing!” or “It’s delicious!” and their eyes would light up with joy.When I saw them off at the end, they’d smile and say, “This is the first time I’ve had yakiniku that was so delicious and satisfying.I’ll definitely come back.”
A few months later, the two of them came back to our store and told us, “Actually, I recently got married, and I was determined to have a celebratory dinner at Jan.” At that time, as a store manager, I couldn’t have been more happy and fulfilled. These two have now become regular customers, and occasionally they bring their friends and have lively parties at the tatami seating (up to 15 people) in the back of the restaurant. By continuing to provide the best quality meat at reasonable prices, we are able to be close to our customers at milestones in their lives and in the small moments of happiness in their daily lives. This is the biggest reason why we continue to focus on providing the best value for money.
[Luxury from lunch! We won’t compromise on lunch time either.]
In addition to being open at night, “Jan” also puts its full effort into opening at lunchtime. We also offer lunch menus without considering profitability, because we want everyone working in Otsuka and the locals to stay energized with delicious meat even during the limited lunch time.
For example, the “Wagyu Kalbi Lunch” costs 1,200 yen and includes rice (large size is free!), soup, and drink. In addition, “Jan’s stew beef bowl (900 yen)”, which is made with scraps of high-quality Japanese beef that you can only find at a yakiniku restaurant, and “beef tendon beef curry (900 yen)” have a rich flavor that melts into the roux and sauce, and you’ll become addicted to it once you try it. Even if you can’t make it in the evening, please try our lunch time.“The best cost performance”Please start with the experience.
■Finally…a message to everyone■
I’ve talked about this for a long time, but in the end, what I want to tell you most is, “Please come and try Jan’s meat at least once!” No matter how much we say it’s the best value for money, it’s meaningless unless you can actually taste it with your own tongue and have an experience that satisfies both your stomach and soul.
We will continue to provide quality and prices that are second to none, and above all, in our beloved city of Otsuka.“We want our customers to be happy.”We welcome you with our heartfelt and sincere hospitality. The table seats have a chic and calm design, perfect for groups of 2 to 4 people. Many customers use it as a reward after work or a place to get together with their families. Of course, you are welcome to stop by on your own, and if you use the tatami room in the back, you can also reserve a private banquet for up to 30 people. Please use “Jan” in every scene.
The aromatic smell of grilling meat and the sound of meat sizzling on the grill. The smiles of customers looking at it. I love this space. Today, all of our staff are looking forward to your visit, procuring the best A5 rank Kuroge Wagyu beef and serving delicious, ice-cold sake. In a hideaway-like space just a short walk from the north exit of Otsuka Station, manager Yun promises you the finest yakiniku experience.
