Recommended.
Yakiniku:
We like Korean and Japanese BBQs, especially at this time of the year. Even though I don't eat beef, we decided to try the TST branch of Iroha as we were in the area.
Speaking of Japanese yakinuku, Wako is also good. Wako bar is a younger and more crowded version which is also quite fun. (The ventilation is not as good as Iroha but their menu is much more comprehensive.)
Decor:
I've tried Iroha at CWB a number of times but it's my first time at the TST branch. The CWB branch of Iroha is more "mature" and private. The TST branch is a bit cozier.
The decor here was very interesting.
Luckily, we got a seat at the tatami area despite not make a reservation. We felt a bit like sitting in the middle of a sumo wrestlers ground!There was a huge open tatami area in the centre. Best for four persons.
There were a number of rooms surrounding the tatami area.
There is a small partition (smaller than those at Gyukaku) separating you from the customers right next to you if it's just the two of you.
Booking is strongly recommended.
Menu:
Iroha is most famous for their beef spare ribs and ox tongue. Other beef items occupied almost 50% of the menu. So perfect for wagyu fans.
About 4-6 types of pork and 4 different types of chicken. I think they have a decent selection of seafood like tiger prawns and scallops. Most items were ranged between HK$70-200. The last page had some cold soba and morioka cold noodles.
You could choose the type of marinade you want with the pork or with the chicken, i.e. pork marinated in miso, salt, tare (Japanese yakiniku sauce which is a bit sweet with shoyu) or onion oil.
Buta Carube: (Pork spare ribs. ) similar to Buta bara but with a little bit less fat. Easy to cook and very flavourful. Good with tare.
Recommended !
Chicken momo: (Thighs.) This was just so so. The way it was diced rendered it tricker to cook than usual. Very easy to burn or overlook it. The chicken seemed a bit tough to me (i.e. old). Should be better with miso.
Ton Toro (pork neck) with Onion oil ? A little about the name. Toro usually means the belly (like tuna toro.) Japanese people consider this part of the pig to have a similar texture to tuna toro - soft and fatty. As with tuna toro, enjoying the soft texture and the taste of the fat is important. It's important not to overcook it. However, the taste of the ton toro here was on the light side. It's aromatic but the cut was too thin. It would taste much much better if it's a bit thicker.
The onion oil was interesting. I couldn't really taste much onion but it's more lemon flavoured than anything else. In fact, I think onion oil would match well with chicken.
Chicken liver with miso: Not bad. Strong taste - possibly because we chose miso. Fine if you like don't mind pungent liver taste. On hindsight, I think I will recommend choosing onion oil instead.
Pretty substantial for two. Worth a try.
We ordered a basket of greens . About 4-5 large pieces of lettuce, a few slices of garlic. Carrots.
Some Chaan Jya to go with our drinks:
It's preserved cod innards with garlic and Korean chili paste. This one was mixed with chopped spring onions as well. Substantial portion. Very good with beer and sochu!
These were the drinks we've ordered:
One large pint of draught Sapporo (about $60), a big bottle of Makkori (1 liter for $200)
and one glass of Sochu (Iichigo $45).
Service:
Service was not bad. Everyone looked a bit nervous but polite. Efficient service. Changed the iron mesh for the grill immediatly if asked.
The best thing is they have a specially made metal container to keep the old mesh for safety. That is very much appreciated.
Also, good quality bibs -
were provided to customers. Clean and keeps the smell off you.Good attention to detail.
Another thing worth noting is that the grill didn't use fire but used circular radiators (?) instead.
There is a hole in the middle. I believe this way the heat is much more evenly spread to the meat. The food placed in the middle of the grill is actually heated more evenly and won't burn as easily as other types of stoves. The heat in the middle seems more easy to control than on the rim.！(◎_◎;)Also, as with the CWB branch, it had good ventilation . We didn't smell like grilled meat ourselves after the dinner.
To conclude:
-Cozy decor.
-Good service.
-Good ventilation.
-Primary focus is on beef.
-Other types of meat were decent.
Total bill: About $450 per head including service charge and drinks.
Worth a try!
I have to say I found it pretty ironic to hear Frosty the Snowman being played in the background. Σ（ﾟдﾟlll）
A Japanese Yakiniku place filled with grills? This must be the last place Frosty wants to be.

Actually, Iroha is an old Japanese poem!
