Amon is in a quiet suburb of Ikebukuro, within a 10-minute walk from the West Exit of JR Ikebukuro Station. Amon has the ambiance of high-end dining. With dim lighting and a quiet and calm atmosphere, you will feel disconnected from the hustle and bustle of Ikebukuro. The restaurant is divided into two sections: table seating and raised-floored zashiki seating.
Amon offers A5-ranked wagyu beef. Tokujo-Tan (special tongue) is Amon’s all-time signature dish. It is a rare cut that can only be taken in small quantities from a single beef tongue. (Thick cut beef tongue is uncommon.)
In order of both quantity and quality, the omakase dinner menu consists of three sizes: tokusen (extra special), aka (special), and shimo (regular). If you don’t have a particularly big appetite, you’ll most likely be more than satisfied with the shimo option. While dinner costs an average 8,000 yen, you can get a lunchtime set meal for around 2,000 yen. The weekday lunch menu consists of the yakiniku set meal, tongue stew, and roast beef don. Roast beef don, limited to 10 servings a day, is a luxurious bowl of rice topped with sumptuous wagyu beef grilled over binchotan charcoal.
池袋の焼き肉といったらここ。池袋の焼肉屋さんでは一番美味しいと思います。お肉はもちろんお通しからサラダや冷麺などすべてが美味しいです。駅から離れていますが予約をとっていくほうが確実です。 Quote from Google Map Review
