Our Story

the original tajimaya

Japan’s Original Tajimaya is a smokeless charcoal grill yakiniku restaurant in Cebu with branches at Unit 25-26, Crossroads Mall, Kasambagan, Cebu City, and Gaisano Country Mall, Banilad, Cebu City.

Tajimaya means passionate, driven, extravagant, and friendly. Yakiniku, meaning “grilled meat”, is a Japanese term that, in its broadest sense, refers to grilled meat cuisine.

Today, “yakiniku” commonly refers to a style of cooking bite-size meat and vegetables on gridirons or griddles over a flame of wood charcoals carbonized by dry distillation or a gas/electric grill.

The grill is what the restaurant is all about. The charcoal is in neat metal cases that have lids as they are set in the center of the table. When the lid is removed, live charcoal bricks under a metal mesh are ready for you to grill the meat as you please.

Welcome to Our restaurant
