Looking for great-value 烧肉 in 池袋? Want to enjoy premium 和牛 beef in 歌舞伎町店 without paying luxury prices? Then 黑5 is the place for you. At 黑5, you can enjoy authentic 和牛 眼肉—normally reserved for high-end restaurants—at a surprisingly affordable price.
Here, we’ll explain why 黑5 is known as the “best cost-performance 烧肉 restaurant in 池袋 & 歌舞伎町店.”
How Expensive is 和牛 眼肉 Normally?
When most restaurants serve “牛五花,” they usually use belly meat. At 黑5, however, we intentionally use 眼肉. 眼肉 sits next to the sir牛里脊 and is known for its beautiful marbling, tenderness, and refined flavor—one of the most luxurious cuts of 和牛 for 烧肉.
The wholesale cost is typically over ¥7,000 per kilogram. With today’s rising 和牛 prices, it’s often closer to ¥8,000 per kilogram. That means the raw cost is more than ¥1,500 per 100g. At a standard 烧肉 restaurant, this would usually sell for ¥3,000-¥4,000 or more per serving.
At 黑5, 眼肉 for Around ¥2,000!
Despite this, 黑5 offers premium 和牛 眼肉 for just around ¥2,000. In other words, you’re getting 和牛 眼肉 at near-cost price, directly passed on to guests.
Many customers are surprised: “How can it be this cheap?” The answer is simple—黑5’s philosophy since day one has been: “Serve the best 和牛, in the best way, at a price everyone can enjoy.”
What Makes 黑5’s 眼肉 Special?
- Lighter than belly meat: Elegant and less greasy
- Melt-in-your-mouth texture: Crispy outside, juicy inside when grilled over 炭火
- Unbeatable price: Premium 眼肉 for just ¥2,000, while others charge double or more
- Grill Master Service: Staff grill your meat to perfection so you can relax
What’s more, while most restaurants serve 眼肉 as a single thick cut, 黑5 carefully separates the 眼肉 into different parts. You can enjoy Kaburi, Maki, Ribshin, Geta, and Enpitsu—each with its own unique flavor and texture. This allows guests to experience a variety of 和牛 眼肉 cuts in one sitting, something only 黑5 offers.
