Many restaurants in Japan offer all-you-can-eat deals at prices so low, they’re hard to turn down. Izakaya chain Amataro is known for its superb tabehodai (all you can eat) yakiniku and shabu shabu course, but starting this month it’s offering a dramatically cheaper deal. You can feast on grilled meat for just half the usual price.
A standard two-hour all-you-can-eat course at Amataro starts at ¥2,790 per person, but those who fill up fast can opt for this new hour-long deal, which only costs only ¥1,500 (plus tax) per person. It includes 17 different cuts of beef, pork and chicken, plus eight side dishes including kimchi, edamame, soup and of course, rice.
Izakayas usually require two or more people when ordering tabehodai deals, but Amataro doesn’t discriminate. This means you can dine out on your own at Amataro and gorge on grilled meat without having to worry what your friends think.
Amataro is in 27 locations nationwide, but this special 60-minute deal is only available at the Ikebukuro and Akihabara outlets in Tokyo, as well as Kawasaki Ribaku and Chiba station. Just remember: the offer doesn’t apply during dinner hours on the weekend and public holidays, so make sure to come on a weekday or drop in for lunch (11.30am-4pm) on the weekend.
