Maruaki has 2 shops. When we were there the sign board said fully booked for lunch. When I asked whether we can wait to get a seat, they let us in. We managed to get the seat for 6 just a short wait. So just ask even it said is fully booked. The hida beef is of top quality. We ordered 2 types one is grilled one is with miso. Preferred the grilled one.

Exceptional hida beef! Melts in your mouth. Decided on shabu shabu and a beef don. Just wow! Trust me, it’s good! We only had a 2hr stopover here, half an hour spent waiting for table, 1hr eating... guess I’ll be back again, hopefully soon!

Extraordinary Hida beef experience!!! Taste like heaven and melt in the mouth. Hida beef is as famous as Kobe beef which is definitely a must try! Walked in at 11am on Xmas day, lively atmosphere but not crowded(heard it’s hard to get a seat). Quite fair price for A5 quality beef. Four of us ordered the most expensive beef set and a second expensive set and rice and vegetables and ice cream. Totally full and satisfied. The price is completely acceptable when we split the bill. No way to get such deal in any big cities with such awesome beef.

This is a must try when you are in takayama! Beef is top quality with a very reasonable price tag. There are two branches in the town so if one is full, feel free to walk to the other which only takes 10 minutes if not less. Get the best beef if you can. I think you will need to pay triple the price for the same meat if you are in the States.

One of the good place for Hida beef, the cheapest A5 set start at around 3290yen. Taste is nice.

Hi all! :-) amazing Hida meat in Takayama! We choose option 300g of meat for two people plus 2 set rice, miso and salad. It was just amazing! You cook meat on your table and taste is really nice. High quality A5.

Hida beef is really unique. Melting in mouth. The best cooking should be grilling. The restaurant is quiet. No need to queue in weekdays.

The best beef ever had in my life!!!! Warning: waiting line is insanely long, please arrive store early
