01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

The menu describes the premium salted tongue as “thick-cut marbled tongue”; there is also a version served with spring onion. Diners have praised the tongue’s satisfying texture, and some recommend the premium salted tongue with spring onion—a useful pointer when choosing what to order first.

Skirt steak is another dish that has made an impression. It is mentioned alongside tongue stew as an affordable, tasty choice. For a dish to share alongside the grilled meat, diners’ comments on the natto with spicy cod guts and the tongue stew may also be helpful.

The menu also includes short ribs, loin and offal, as well as cold noodles, bibimbap and soups. That gives diners options for building a meat-centred meal or choosing something to finish with. Some visitors mention half-price yakiniku specials on particular days, but the items and schedule may change, so check when making a reservation if you are interested.
