01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Tender cuts sizzle over the grill at Manten in Minowa, where diners gather for classic yakiniku staples like sweet, melting kalbi, tender skirt steak, and delicately seasoned salted beef tongue. Domestic Japanese Black beef features prominently, particularly in rich sauced kalbi that pairs naturally with bowls of white rice. Cuts range from rare specialties like kainomi (flap meat) and sankaku (triangle chuck rib) to thick bone-in kalbi. For an easy cross-section of cuts, the Manten Mori and Manten Jomori assortments bring together 6 distinct cuts on a single platter.
From Offal Cuts to Refreshing Noodle Bowls
The daily hormone mix features varied beef offal, offering contrasts in texture through cuts like chewy shimacho large intestine, rich marucho small intestine, and first stomach mino. Between grilled bites, chilled offal preparations provide a clean palate reset, including crunchy mino sashimi, honeycomb tripe tossed with salt and sesame oil, and blanched omasum third stomach. To finish the meal, patrons can choose from springy Morioka cold noodles, sizzling stone-pot bibimbap, or deeply savory gomtang beef-bone soup noodles.
Relaxed Gatherings and Dog-Friendly Dining
The dining room maintains a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere, accented by the welcoming presence of resident poodles. Dog owners can dine alongside their pets, with dedicated items like dog food and dog water featured on the menu. Operating from 17:00 in the evening until 24:00 at night, the restaurant makes an inviting setting to linger over draft beers or jumbo sour mugs with family and friends.
