The juicy meat, from kalbi to skirt steak, tongue, and loin, is irresistible. This time, the setting is a "solo yakiniku restaurant" in Shinbashi, Tokyo. You can choose the doneness, add more meat, or have more rice at your own pace without having to worry about anyone else.
A man says it's a way to reward himself for working hard, a woman says it helps her study for qualifications, and a new member of the workforce says he would love to come with everyone but is too busy to do so. Is being alone freedom, or loneliness? What makes you want to eat yakiniku alone?
