The other kinds of beef is also good taste. However, low priced meat of this restaurant is usually imported from Australia, America and so on.

* This picture shows the set meal with the regular soup upgraded to a Yukgaejang soup which costs an extra 250 yen. I also had the rice upsized to a larger portion for free.
Left: Regular soup of the set meal
Right: Kimch (or you can choose mini-salad)
There are two kinds of meat on the dish. The red one is beef short ribs and the white one is beef large intestines seasoned with miso sauce.
Beef large intestines seasoned with miso sauce
When you grill the intestines, first you should grill the skin side well before grilling the fat side of the meat.
Next, grill the fat side of the meat.
When the fat changes color from white to transparent, it is ready to eat.
Because the large intestine is so chewy to eat and has a bit of a unique smell, doing this makes the meat softer. If the fat hasn't turned transparent yet, the meat may still have a slight smell.
I highly recommend changing the soup because it is good value. The amount of ingredients, such as vegetables, are much more than in the regular soup and more delicious.
Almond Jelly
When you order a non-alcoholic drink from a la carte menu or set meal which included the drink, it is self-service and free refills.

This is on the a-la-cart menu. They also offer reasonable wagyu set meals for 1480 yen to more at lunch time.
If you want to try domestically produced wagyu beef, choose 黒毛和牛カルビ Kuroge Wagyu Karubi.
To be honest, this wagyu beef tastes much better than imported cheap beef. I like it!
I recommend you order the Pork Short Rib Lunch 豚カルビランチ (455 yen) and optionally the Black Wagyu Beef 黒毛和牛カルビ (980 yen).
