This all-you-can-eat Osaka Wagyu yakiniku spot is truly impressive! Although Yakiniku Rikimaru has faced some controversy in recent years, it remains incredibly popular with a steady stream of customers. Without a reservation, it's almost impossible to get a table. The staff even includes Taiwanese employees who can speak Taiwanese Hokkien, making communication easier for some visitors. Grilling a whole slab of beef tongue is an absolute delight, and the unlimited orders of Wagyu beef belly are a must-try.

Osaka Yakiniku Rikimaru, this popular yakiniku restaurant famous for its cost-effective Japanese Wagyu beef, is a paradise for meat lovers! There are branches in Shinsaibashi, Namba, and Sennichimae. We recommend going to the Shinsaibashi Minamisemba branch, which has convenient transportation and an excellent service reputation. The store offers two all-you-can-eat set menus at 2,980 yen (about 138 yuan) and 3,480 yen (about 162 yuan). The difference lies in the variety of meat options. We strongly recommend the 3480 yen option, which includes signature cuts such as beef tongue, diaphragm, and ribs, as well as offal platters, fried chicken karaage, and other side dishes. Even the rice is made from premium Koshihikari rice! We highly recommend the "Premium Salted Beef Tongue", which is seasoned with light salt to highlight the sweetness of the meat; although the "External Diaphragm Block" is surprisingly large, the tender and juicy taste will definitely make you say it's worth it. For dessert, don’t miss the grapefruit sorbet, which is a great way to relieve greasiness. You can scoop the ice cream by yourself to maximize the experience. Although the environment has a slight smell of oil smoke, which is common in barbecue restaurants, the independent booth design ensures privacy, and the waiter's thoughtful half-kneeling service adds to the comfort. Please note that large portions of meat such as diaphragm pieces are recommended to be shared among multiple people to avoid affecting the tasting of other dishes. Open until the early hours of the morning, and reservations are recommended for dinner. You can enjoy all you can eat Wagyu beef for only NT$230 per person, which is the best value for money in the Osaka BBQ world! #Osaka Food Guide

The price of all-you-can-eat is beyond the CP value for the quality of the meat (there are 3 price levels and 90 minutes or 120 minutes), and you can also have unlimited drinks. The most important thing is that you can make a reservation directly through Google Map. Because we went at 3 pm, we didn’t have to wait and directly chose 90 minutes to eat, and the order stopped after 65 minutes. I will definitely come again if I have the chance to visit Osaka❤️ However, if you don’t finish eating, you will need to pay for the food waste, so it is recommended that you consider your own food intake.

#11GoodDestinations2024 Rikimaru Yakiniku 🍗 A popular all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurant in Osaka. You can choose between 90 and 120 minutes, and there are three set menus. I chose the Dotonbori plan at 5258 yen per person. After choosing the set meal, you can use the tablet to order by yourself, and you can choose Chinese characters. Only this set meal can order Wagyu beef, and the meat is obviously better than other meats! In addition, you can also order grilled beef sushi🍣, rice, one-course dishes, etc. Finally, after eating meat, you can order dessert to relieve the greasiness, such as Rikimaru’s signature sundae 🍨, which is both beautifully designed and delicious.
