Monthly delicious yakiniku restaurant hopping with meat-loving girls' gathering. This month, we visited the recommended restaurant by the queen of Kansai yakiniku, Ikarin-san, called "Sumibi Yakiniku Daikan." The nearest station is Nagahoribashi Station, within walking distance from Shinsaibashi. The restaurant has a counter and one table on the first floor, and tables on the second and third floors. On this holiday, it was fully booked and very popular! It was a good thing we made a reservation. We decided to order a la carte so we could choose what we wanted to eat. We each ordered drinks and made a toast! I had a refreshing soda with crushed mandarin orange. We ordered various items such as seared liver, chicken sashimi-style, thick-sliced salted tongue, salted tongue (half portion), premium beef tripe hot pot, harami trio platter, rice, premium skirt meat, kalbi, shirako soup, shabu-shabu beef intestines, and tsumami. We started with the raw dishes. The liver looked fresh just by looking at it, and it was firm and delicious when seared. The chicken sashimi-style had a meaty texture since it was made from thigh meat. The premium beef tripe was tender and delicious without any off-flavors. Moving on to the grilled items, we started with the tongue. The thick slices were juicy, and as we grilled them, the meat juices oozed out, making it very flavorful. I highly recommend this dish. The harami trio included premium harami, sagari, and harami, allowing us to enjoy the different textures and flavors. The premium skirt meat, lightly grilled and wrapped in green onions, melted in our mouths with its high-quality fat. The shabu-shabu beef intestines were cooked in sauce, giving off a tantalizing aroma as it sizzled. Eating it with a beaten egg made it even more delicious, and we couldn't stop eating it with rice. The tsumami was also large and of excellent quality, not shrinking much when grilled. Every meat dish was generous in portion size, leaving us very satisfied. Overall, everything we ate was delicious and top-notch quality. The shirako soup, recommended by the restaurant, was made with beef and Chinese cabbage in Korean miso, with plenty of meat chunks and a slightly spicy kick, which was fantastic! Despite eating to our heart's content, the bill was surprisingly cheap, around 6,000 yen per person. We were all amazed at the affordability. They are open until 3 a.m. on weekends, so you can enjoy late-night yakiniku as well. Thank you for the wonderful meal, Sumibi Yakiniku Daikan!
