After the end of the long period of national isolation, various forms of Western culture were introduced into Japan with the opening of the port of Yokohama in 1859.
The culture of eating beef was one of them. Back then, the people of Japan had a strong aversion to the idea of eating beef. However, with the spread of "Gyu-nabe (in other words, Sukiyaki, beef hot pot)", a dish where beef is simmered with either miso paste or soy sauce as well as sugar, beef became an established part of the Japanese food culture.
Around the time when Gyu-nabe started to become popular, the founder of Janomeya went from Chiba to Yokohama to start a Gyu-nabe stall. This stall became the talk of the town as a place where delicious Gyu-nabe could be eaten, and in 1893, Janomeya opened a specialty Gyu-nabe restaurant in Isezaki-cho. With this, the history of the long-established Gyu-nabe restaurant, Janomeya, began.
