Sanzenri, Hachijojima: Meat on the Last Night

A note on the words: yakiniku is the Japanese style of grilling bite-sized cuts of meat yourself over a charcoal or gas burner set into the table. Karubi is short rib and harami is outside skirt; mino is one of the beef stomachs, and horumon is a general word for beef offal. Namul are small Korean-style seasoned vegetable dishes, and kkakdugi is kimchi made from daikon radish cut into cubes. Chijimi is a savory pan-fried batter cake, close to a Korean pajeon. Ashitaba is a leafy green grown on the Izu Islands.

Hello, this is Hangover Meshi. So, it was my last night on Hachijojima. I looked around a bit wondering what to eat, and it felt like I had been having nothing but fish the whole time, so — let us finish with yakiniku! I searched, found “Sanzenri,” and booked a table for right after opening. Called a taxi and went straight to the place. Glad they had room. Apparently there was a sports-day event on the island that day, so all the islanders were going out for a well-done-everyone dinner, and I had been told that without a reservation it would be dicey. Glad I got one!

The cow saying “pleased to meet you” is cute.

The shop’s own No. 1 recommendation has been taped over, ha. What a shame, ha.

A la carte

At a yakiniku place the first thing has to be draft beer, right! They serve it in a frosted glass, which is a delight!

Thank you for the meal!

Well now, I ate rather more than I had planned. ^^ Beer plus yakiniku really is the best combination. I had properly restored the fatigue of the trip while still on the trip, by taking on meat, so the next day I could head home feeling fresh and well, which was good. If I ever come back to Hachijojima and find myself wanting meat, this is a place I would consider again. ^^
