I didn't make a reservation, but I called last minute and it was empty, so I was able to get in.
This restaurant is famous for its extremely fresh meat and for being able to eat raw meat.
First, I ordered the sashimi platter.
Heart, senmai, mino, tongue, skirt steak, and guts can be eaten raw.
It already has vinegar miso on it. It would be even better if you could eat it with sesame oil and salt.
Personally, the heart, skirt steak, and tongue were especially delicious.
The meat in the stew [spicy] was tender and exquisite.
Next, I ordered mixed vegetables.
This one has mixed grilled vegetables.
The meat is so fresh that you can eat it raw, so you can definitely grill it!
Although it is not shown in the photo, I also ordered a mixed grill (large) with salt after this.
There is no final menu, but rice and soup are available.
Thank you for the meal!
