Yakiniku Shodai is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. We have been there 4 or 5 times, and it always delivers. Their wagyu is among there is (and we have tried many). Their service is also among the best. I would recommend getting the full course "Shodai Set" at least once, even if it is more expensive. It is worth it.
