GogoSma MC, TV Host Ishii highly recommends! Free all-you-can-eat cheese & a hamburger to savor the meat

TV Host Ryoji Ishii, familiar from "GogoSma-GO GO!Smile!-", is deeply fond of "CHEDDAR", a hamburger and pancake cafe in Chikusa Ward, Nagoya City.

The owner, a hamburger enthusiast who has eaten at over 100 establishments, runs this cafe, and their hearty burgers, packed with care, are exquisite.

Ishii's recommendation is the "Thick-sliced Bacon Cheese Burger" (1,790 yen). The patty, made from Angus beef known for its juicy and tender texture, is hand-cut to intentionally leave fibers, giving it a steak-like texture.

To better savor the meat, they are particular about the stacking order. The patty is placed at the bottom, as the taste is felt more strongly closer to the tongue. Above it, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise are added to reset the aftertaste, and it's sandwiched between specially ordered hard buns that don't absorb too much meat juice.

For a change of taste for the burger, the free all-you-can-eat cheese is another welcome point! A blend of three types of cheese—Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Gouda—adds richness and depth. It pairs perfectly with the special cheese sauce.

The "Caramelized Banana Pancake" (1,350 yen), made with plenty of meringue and batter prepared after the order is placed, is also a popular menu item.

Also, Ishii's favorites include the "Homemade Chicken Nuggets" (630 yen) and "Homemade Onion Rings" (630 yen). By using corn flour and carbonated water for the batter, they achieve a crispy, fragrant, and crunchy texture.

A yakiniku restaurant with premium Japanese Black Wagyu beef, praised by VIPs worldwide

"Kiwami Yakiniku Kagura," which just opened in Higashi Ward, Nagoya, is a yakiniku restaurant first supervised by "Mori Seikuten" (Showa Ward, Nagoya).

The "highest quality Japanese Black Wagyu beef" carefully selected by Eiji Mori, a meat technician and representative director of Mori Seikuten, is truly a supreme delicacy.

Not only do they supply to super famous yakiniku restaurants, but they have also been praised as "the top in the Japanese meat industry" by Anna Fendi, a member of the founding family of FENDI, and Fabio Lamborghini, a member of the founding family of the famous Italian sports car, Lamborghini.

Our top recommendation is the "Takumi Mori" assortment of 5 types, including "Premium Fillet," "Special Loin," and "Special Kalbi." While it would normally cost 10,000 yen, it's an amazing 6,000 yen! *Limited to 3 groups per day, until June

All are A5 rank female Wagyu beef, and compared to male beef, the fat has a lower melting point, allowing you to enjoy a melt-in-your-mouth texture and sweetness. Since it's high-quality Wagyu, it's recommended to cook it quickly to prevent the fat from melting too much!

The "Special Shin-Shin Yaki-Shabu" (2,500 yen) is also a proud dish. Not only is the meat procurement supervised, but also the cutting method (a trade secret) and preservation methods, making this a dish packed with their expertise.

Shin-Shin, a superb lean meat said to be the second most tender after fillet, is the core of the shin-tama, which is the center of the thigh, and is a rare cut, with only 1 to 2 kilograms available per animal. It is characterized by its light fat and rich umami. It is quickly cooked and enjoyed with plenty of Nagoya Cochin egg yolk.

Furthermore, the "Legendary Tail Soup" (1,800 yen) is also an exquisite dish. The manager, wanting to add the tail soup from a yakiniku restaurant that used to operate in the same location when he was a child, learned the recipe and revived it! It uses Korean chili peppers, so it's not too spicy, and you can enjoy a deep richness and umami.

"Kiwami Yakiniku Kagura" has also started serving lunch! You can enjoy carefully selected Wagyu beef at a great value, such as the "Kiwami Wagyu Loin Curry" (1,500 yen / Monday to Saturday only), made with A5 rank beef tendon and loin simmered for 4 hours, and the "Takumi Wagyu Don" (2,000 yen / limited to 5 servings per day), topped with 7 slices of A5 rank special loin and the signature Shin-Shin.
