Bishokuya Yamashin
A specialty shop in Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture, serving “Murakami Beef.” Niigata is also known for livestock farming, and Japanese Black wagyu raised in the prefecture with a grading rank of A-3 or B-3 or higher is called “Niigata Wagyu.” “Murakami Beef” refers to Niigata Wagyu raised in Murakami City, Sekikawa Village, and Tainai City, with a grading rank of A-4 or B-4 or higher.
It feels like comforting home-style food, but it’s not greasy or overly salty. The portion is honestly pretty generous—if you’ve got an average appetite, you’ll leave nicely full.
The price won’t make you cringe either, so it’s a solid everyday option when you want a safe, no-regrets meal.
Overall: simple, easy to eat, and I’d definitely come back.
