There is no relationship to Genghis Khan, the Mongol Emperor and Minamoto no Yoshitsune, the young brother of Minamoto no Yoritomo who was the Shogun of the Muromachi regime. Some people would say Jingisukan derived from Genghis Khan or Minamoto no Yoshitsune who went to Mongol and became to be an emperor of Mongol, Genghis Khan at that time. Of course, It’s not true.

A fatty meat is not for eating. It is for cooking.

There are two types of ordering, it is ‘eating as much as you like’ by a time limit or you order as you like by no time limit. Time-limit style is cheeper for people who eat more and more. Some restaurants serve other foods, chicken, poke and beef.
