If the first date is at a yakiniku restaurant, I find myself thinking, “Good thing I wore Uniqlo today.”
This content is machine-translated.
What do you think about having yakiniku on a first date?
Wouldn’t it be better to be told, “Come hungry—we’re having yakiniku,” so you could dress accordingly? Why doesn’t anyone do that…
I’m Ayase Nana☆
I want yakiniku… (≧∇≦)/
Sushi would be nice, right? (*´ω｀*) It doesn’t leave any smells on you.
But you can’t really go to a place like that wearing UNIQLO, can you?
☆Dear Marika, I tried copying the outfit worn by a UNIQLO mannequin, but it was so bulky and uncomfortable that I couldn’t wear it.
UNIQLO doesn’t suit me either.
The sizing is kind of awkward too…

I’m Tetsu, a male member.
I always tell my dates the restaurant location in advance, so I don’t really understand the point of this question. Besides, even for a first meeting, I ask about the woman’s food preferences while arranging the meeting place, so it makes even less sense to me.

A man who takes you to yakiniku for the first date without saying anything is certainly something—and a woman who shows up in Uniqlo is certainly something too…
In that sense, you two were a good match.
Putting that aside, I can never make Uniqlo look polished, so I really admire people who know how to style it fashionably.
If you dressed it up cutely for the date, then you clearly have a wonderful talent for putting outfits together.

Would it be a good idea to write on my profile for women, “If we’re going to have yakiniku, please let me know in advance so I can dress accordingly”?

I’m Kazu, a male member.
When I make an offer, I also let her know which restaurant I’ve reserved.
I think that particular man just happened to be that kind of person.

I’ll answer as Maezawa from Shacho-shitsu.
I’m guessing it’s because you’ll probably take off your jacket, and even if your clothes do pick up a smell, many restaurants have smoke-free setups where the fumes are extracted right at the table.
You’re right that it would be more considerate to mention that it’s a yakiniku restaurant. But since there didn’t seem to be much demand for that information, I think they simply didn’t pay much attention to it.
That said, after accepting the offer and confirming the date, you could ask the staff which restaurant it will be and say:
“I’d like to know whether casual clothing is okay, depending on the restaurant.”
I think that would be the safest approach.
Even if they don’t tell you whether it’s yakiniku, if they say casual clothes are fine, I’d recommend wearing something that would be suitable for going to a yakiniku restaurant.
If you ask too directly, the man might get offended and try to cancel, so it’s difficult to bring up.
