Why go

Open until midnight six nights a week with tatami private rooms, it's more accessible than the city's steak-focused tourist options and built for extended evening sessions over shochu and sake.

Restaurant context
Yakiniku Ichiriki holds the strongest national credentials among Beppu's grill specialists, three Tabelog Yakiniku 100 selections and one Grill 100 honor since 2022, but it operates at a middle price tier and in a more casual format than Bungo Beef Steak no Mise Somuri Beppu honten, which charges ¥8,000–¥9,999 per person for tableside steak service and polished presentation. If you want to control your own grilling pace and prefer a participatory experience over plated courses, Yakiniku Ichiriki is the better fit; if you're after a more formal meal with less smoke and no DIY element, Somuri justifies the higher spend. Booking difficulty favors Yakiniku Ichiriki, reservations are straightforward, walk-ins work earlier in the week, while Somuri requires more advance planning during peak travel periods.
For diners prioritizing value over pedigree, TANE (¥2,000–¥2,999) delivers solid cooking at a fraction of the cost, though it lacks the beef sourcing depth and national recognition that define Yakiniku Ichiriki. Seafood Izakaya Ren and Karin both run ¥6,000–¥7,999 but shift the focus from beef to seafood, making them better choices for variety-seeking diners who don't want a meat-centric evening. Bepper's Tavern occupies an entirely different category, Western pub fare and a bar-first atmosphere, so it's a fallback for late-night drinks and casual bites rather than a yakiniku substitute.
The decision hinges on format preference and budget tolerance. Yakiniku Ichiriki offers the most nationally recognized beef grilling in Beppu, with private-room flexibility and midnight closing hours that accommodate extended sessions. If you're willing to spend more for tableside service and a quieter room, Somuri is the upgrade. If you're keeping costs down or prefer seafood, TANE, Ren, or Karin make more sense. The venue's residential location near Beppu Station and lower booking friction make it the easiest serious yakiniku option to slot into a tight onsen-town itinerary.
