Genkai is a popular yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant located a 10-minute walk from Tokamachi Station in Niigata Prefecture. Though its second-floor location and small sign make it somewhat inconspicuous, it's well-regarded by locals. Genkai is especially known for its flavorful and customizable spicy kalbi kukbap (short rib soup with rice). The atmosphere is casual, and it's a great spot to enjoy a hearty meal after exploring the area. Consider visiting in the evening for dinner.
