Raw skirt-steak (harami) yukke — Wagyu tartare style. Tender and savory, with umami that deepens as you chew. The other signature alongside Negi Shio Tan.

How to Reserve
Two ways to book — online or by phone.
① Reserve via Ikyu (Japanese site) →
💡 Tip for English speakers: Ikyu is a Japanese reservation platform. Use your browser's "Translate to English" feature (Chrome: right-click → Translate / Safari: address bar → 🌐 icon) to view the booking form in English. The reservation is processed in Japanese internally, but you'll receive a confirmation email automatically.
② By phone (Japanese only): +81-744-41-9429
Walk-ins accepted but seats may be limited on weekends — booking ahead is strongly recommended.
🌐 What if my browser translation breaks the Ikyu form?
Ikyu is a major Japanese reservation platform (similar to OpenTable in the US). The form fields will translate visually, but please:
- Enter your name in English (Romaji)
- Enter phone with country code (+1, +44, +61 etc.)
- Write any notes (allergies, group size details) in English — the restaurant will receive them as-is
- Confirmation email arrives in Japanese, but date / time / party-size are written in numbers (universal)
If anything still fails, ask your hotel concierge to call +81-744-41-9429 on your behalf. Hotels in Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara handle this routinely (the front desk usually speaks both English and Japanese).
If you'd prefer not to call, hotels and tourist info centers in Osaka, Kyoto, or Nara can call on your behalf — show them this page or read out (example with sample date/time): 「橿原市の焼肉三日月です。10月24日 19時に 4名で予約をお願いします」 ("Yakiniku Mikazuki in Kashihara — example: please book for 4 guests on 10/24 at 19:00. Replace date / time / party size as needed.").
Charcoal. Company. Conversation.
Premium Kuroge Wagyu, grilled over Binchotan charcoal — the way yakiniku was always meant to be.
