01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Thick cuts of tongue and kalbi grilling steadily over the wire mesh in aromatic smoke make for a deeply satisfying evening meal. Set within a residential pocket of Nagasaki in Toshima Ward, Yakiniku 55 offers the relaxed, welcoming character of a neighborhood yakiniku parlor alongside a hearty, varied meat selection.
An Array of Tongue Cuts and Everyday Staples
Opening the menu, the sheer range of tongue options stands out first. Diners can select their preferred thickness and style, from substantial thick-cut premium salted tongue and green-onion tongue sandwiches to tongue assortments and simple salted cuts. Classic choices like loin, harami, and kalbi are complemented by cuts with varied texture and marbling—such as rib fingers, belly harami, salted geta kalbi, and hanging tender—allowing guests to build their ideal spread cut by cut.
Offal options such as horumon, premium liver, and premium mountain chain tripe are also well represented, making for an enjoyable pairing alongside beer or wine. Additions like sanchu lettuce, roasted garlic, and grilled onions or mushrooms bring further color and balance to the tabletop.
Evening Gatherings and Takeout Bento
With operations centering on evening dinner service starting from 17:00, the tables cater easily to relaxed family meals and small gatherings. Beyond dining in, the shop offers takeout options including kalbi bento, salted tongue bento, and a combo bento featuring kalbi, loin, and harami, making it a handy resource for enjoying seasoned grilled meats at home.
