Ira-shai-mase. Be your own chef. Cooking tasty morsels to your liking over a charcoal fire. There's a saying in Japan, "people who eat together from the same pot of rice develop and enjoy stronger, meaningful and long lasting relationships". At Gyu-Kaku you can share the warmth not only of our delicious food, but also the warmth of your family and friends. Enjoy.
