We like to plan Friday night date night and explore Yokosuka. I take the train into Yokosuka and meet Dave when he is finished at work. We have tried a variety of restaurants in an effort to determine our favorites. Dave loves Yakiniku. Yakiniku is a Korean BBQ where you select the meat cut of your choice and grill it at your table. We have tried two others so far and we were not really impressed with either. Or maybe I should say I wasn’t impressed. This time we ventured (a little bit) off the beaten path and found a Yakiniku restaurant gem.

The atmosphere of these restaurants are very inviting and having to cook your own food make it great for a Friday night date where you don’t want to be rushed. I let Dave take the lead on ordering and cooking.

This place is a paleo-diet dream. Too bad I ruined it with a bowl of rice! 

Amazing salad! It had seaweed!

Metal tongs and chopsticks because wood would burn

Yummmmmmm


On a side note, this was the second restaurant we walked into Friday night. The first was my pick. It was a tapas place and looked super swanky. We left because it smelled like cigarettes!! We definitely aren’t accustomed to seeing/smelling cigarettes while smoking. Another reason to wear a mask. Although, hard to eat through. So glad we left and found this place instead. We both gave the restaurant ????  

My happy husband ❤️
