Wagyu is one of the favorite delicacies of many food lovers. For its first store opening in Taiwan, Japan’s top-tier yakiniku experience, “KINTAN BUFFET,” offers not only high-quality wagyu with marbling but also wagyu steaks, and tongue that keeps you coming back for more.

The first KINTAN BUFFET store in Taiwan is located at Mitsui Outlet Park Taichung Harbor. The name “KINTAN” means “gold tongue” in Japanese — a unique expression used to describe customers with exceptional taste. KINTAN BUFFET not only provides high-quality meats and a diverse buffet selection, but also boasts an upscale dining environment.

KINTAN BUFFET emphasizes offering only premium-grade meats to its customers. For instance, American PRIME-grade “wagyu with marbling” has firm yet tender meat with evenly distributed marbling resembling marble patterns, delivering a juicy and soft texture. There’s also “wagyu steak” from renowned Australian ranches, known for its delicate and richly marbled fat that is simply captivating. And then there’s the essence of Japanese yakiniku: the must-try beef tongue. With its soft texture, crisp yet tender bite, it’s irresistible to keep going back for more. Don’t forget to pair these delicious top-tier yakiniku selections with KINTAN BUFFET’s exclusive sauces flown in from Japan: “KINTAN Classic Yakiniku Sauce,” “KINTAN Yakitori Pepper Salt,” and “KINTAN Japanese-Style Mustard Soy Sauce,” to fully enjoy an authentic Japanese yakiniku flavor.

In addition to premium yakiniku, KINTAN BUFFET also features an all-you-can-eat buffet bar with a wide variety of options — you can try all kinds of classic Japanese favorites. Think korokke, beef sushi, beef stew with potatoes, Japanese stir-fried noodles, and more. For dessert, there are options like mizu shingen mochi, grilled mochi, dorayaki, parfaits, and more, offering a rich and diverse selection. In addition, KINTAN BUFFET’s Taipei branch will open in late December and will be combined with its shabu-shabu brand SHABUSATO to create a new concept featuring dual brands and even more diverse food options.
