01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Set along a quiet back alley in Kagurazaka, Riseiran is best known for authentic samgyeopsal prepared on a crystal plate rather than a conventional iron grill. Set on a tilt, the clear crystal sheet heats pork belly gently with far-infrared rays, letting excess fat drain away while keeping the meat juicy and tender inside. Wrapped with sanchu lettuce, kimchi, and garlic, each bite balances rich pork savory notes with fresh vegetables.
Selected Wagyu Barbecue and Attentive Korean Fare
The Kuroge Wagyu barbecue menu is well appointed, featuring finely marbled special kalbi, flavorful jo-kalbi with balanced fat, and deeply savory jo-harami that yields more flavor with every chew. Complementing the grill are popular home-style dishes such as aromatic chive chijimi pancakes, house dumplings, and simmered tofu jjigae stew—convenient companions between barbecue cuts or alongside drinks.
Evening Pours and Relaxed Seating
The drink list ranges from draft beer and highballs to Korean favorites like makgeolli and Chamisul, as well as Hokusetsu, an ultra-dry sake chosen specifically to pair with grilled meats. Counter seating suits solo diners or pairs, while tables comfortably accommodate small groups. With limited space, booking ahead is recommended for an evening meal in Kagurazaka.
