When you think of Japanese food, the first thing that comes to mind is always sushi! If not, sashimi would be your second thought. But there is something else that some of us may crave when it comes to Japanese cuisine. Yakiniku. Yakiniku is another style of Japanese cooking that combines our favourite Japanese cuisine with barbeque. At first glance, it may even seem similar to Korean barbeques. The thing about yakiniku is that they use famous meats such as Kobe beef, and Wagyu which can make it quite expensive. Besides that, yakiniku also tends to be served buffet style. If you are worried about the price point, don’t worry! Glitz has a list of the best yakiniku buffet restaurants in Singapore at all the price ranges. Pick the one within your budget and splurge on a delicious Japanese meal!
