ロレンツォ
I have been living in Kitasenju for over a decade, and I often visit this steakhouse for birthdays and special occasions. This time, we went for my partner's birthday. We had the "Live Abalone & Special Black Wagyu Steak Dinner". I had 100g of sirloin, and my partner had 100g of fillet, which we shared. 1. Today's Amuse (Tsubugai and Edamame Pecorino Cream) - The crunchy texture of Tsubugai combined with the refreshing aroma of edamame and the rich taste of Pecorino cheese was a perfect match and delicious. 2. Seasonal Appetizer (Sea Bass, Clams, and Shrimp Vinaigrette) - The chilled fish and shellfish with a light vinaigrette sauce was delicious. 3. Seasonal Vegetable Salad (Seaweed and Vegetable Dressing) - The crispy seasonal vegetables with seaweed and vegetable dressing were tasty. 4. Creative Grilled Vegetables (Cabbage, Carrot, Burdock, Lotus Root, Potato) - Each vegetable was seasoned and grilled, with the burdock and lotus root being particularly delicious. 5. Live Abalone - The abalone is steamed on a hot plate while still in its shell, then sliced and mixed with butter. I prefer abalone sashimi, but the hot plate preparation was also delicious. My partner, who loves abalone cooked, was delighted by the exquisite taste. 6. Special Black Wagyu (Fillet & Sirloin) - We requested it to be cooked rare. Despite becoming less tolerant of fat as the years go by, the high-quality meat remained delicious until the last bite. 7. Grilled Sandwich - Excess fat from the meat is cut off, finely chopped, and toasted on a hot plate before being sandwiched between toasted bread. The combination of the fragrant bread and high-quality fat was very tasty. 8. Garlic Pilaf (Additional 420 yen for the course) - Although my partner was almost full and couldn't eat much of it... 9. Homemade Sorbet - A perfect palate cleanser. 10. Celebration Dessert - A pudding with grapefruit jelly drizzled on top. Sweets always have a separate stomach, right? 11. Coffee - We moved to the sofa seats at the back and enjoyed a leisurely cup of coffee. From start to finish, the chef cooked each dish with exquisite timing, providing a sense of stability and allowing us to enjoy our meal slowly. When visiting for special occasions, they provide a celebratory dish, photo opportunities, and homemade garlic soy sauce or dressing. Although 100g of meat may seem small, we felt satisfied after finishing our meal. The staff is friendly, and the owner is as elegant as ever. It's a place we want to keep coming back to for special occasions. We look forward to visiting again for another celebration.
