[Shop Location] About 2 minutes walk from Shinjuku Station East Exit on the JR Yamanote Line. [Visit Date and Time] Weekday around 19:30. [Crowdedness] It's hard to say for sure since it's completely private rooms, but I could hear various voices, so it seemed quite crowded. [Order Details] ◯ Red Yukhoe (¥1,620) ◯ Kimchi Assortment (¥950) ◯ Komtang Soup (¥880) ◯ Kuroki Salad (¥850) ◯ Premium Tongue (¥2,580) ◯ Premium Sirloin (¥2,280) ◯ Wagyu Thick-cut Harami (¥3,880) ◯ Grilled Zabuton (¥1,890) ◯ Wagyu & Truffle Clay Pot Rice (¥2,790) ◯ Champagne Sorbet (¥780) [Impressions] The interior of the restaurant is chic and has a very calming atmosphere. The private rooms are spacious, and overall the food was delicious. I would definitely like to visit again! By the way, when I entered the restaurant and ordered the food, I was given chopsticks. You could choose from 4 types, and I chose black. Thank you very much! ● Red Yukhoe → You can feel the original umami of the meat and the soft and smooth texture unique to raw meat is quite pleasant. The sesame flavor is also good, satisfying not only the taste and texture but also the sense of smell. ● Kimchi Assortment → This was also delicious. There were three types of kimchi: Chinese cabbage, cucumber, and radish, and I think each had a different seasoning. Personally, I would definitely want to buy it as a souvenir, haha. ● Komtang Soup → The soup where you can directly feel the chicken broth, with the spring onions providing a good texture and accent. ● Kuroki Salad → The onion-based dressing was very good, refreshing yet with a deep flavor, with lettuce, red cabbage, tomato, and bacon, a relatively simple but satisfying salad. ● Premium Tongue → This was really delicious too. It's good to eat it with lemon, but personally, it was excellent with "Negi Ponzu"! The ponzu sauce itself is homemade and has a stronger acidity that suits the tongue. ● Premium Sirloin → The fat was elegant and not at all heavy. The umami was condensed, and you could eat as many slices as you wanted. ● Wagyu Thick-cut Harami → As the name suggests, it's "thick-cut." Despite being so thick, it's tender and meaty. Well, it's delicious. One thing to note is that you need to cook it thoroughly to ensure it's cooked through. I'm impatient, so I made a mistake... ● Wagyu & Truffle Clay Pot Rice → It was exquisite! The meat and shiitake mushrooms were generously included, and they even sprinkle truffle on top. The rich aroma when the staff mixed the rice for us filled the room, making me feel very happy. The plain white rice was also delicious. Additionally, you can also take this dish home. Finally, we were given gum as a palate cleanser... Thank you very much! It was a feast today, I will definitely come back.
