“Yakiniku and Bunny Girls Gotanda” is open every day from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. A two-hour set starts at ¥3,980.

Great value! Two experiences in one

“Here you go, say ahh ♡”

Sexy bunny girls grill delicious meat and feed it to you—apparently, there is a new type of entertainment yakiniku restaurant that brings to life a dream many men have probably had. To see what it was really like, a “FRIDAY” reporter headed to “Yakiniku and Bunny Girls Gotanda” in Shinagawa, Tokyo.

As soon as the reporter entered the restaurant, bunny girls could be seen moving around the floor. Once the reporter took a seat, a cast member named Maika sat down beside him with a smile. After he ordered a beer (¥798) and salted beef tongue (¥1,520), she greased the grill with beef fat and began arranging the meat with practiced precision.

“I used to be the manager of a yakiniku restaurant in Tokyo. Each grill has its own personality, so you need to quickly understand how each one works. While chatting with customers, I grill the meat with my right hand and finely adjust the heat with my left.”

Indeed, the meat Maika grilled and fed to the reporter was cooked to perfection.

“We also offer a wide selection of carefully selected Japanese black beef. Customers have given us positive feedback, saying, ‘Of course the bunny girls are cute, but the yakiniku is genuinely delicious, too.’” (Kanto Area Manager)

The reporter ate three servings of meat and had rice and namul, treated the bunny girl to drinks, and enjoyed services such as taking instant photos together. Even so, the total came to ¥15,000 for one person. If you can enjoy the experience of both a hostess club and yakiniku for that price, it truly is the best of both worlds. Why not experience something out of the ordinary at this entertainment yakiniku restaurant, where you can leave both your heart and stomach feeling satisfied?
