Introducing a new restaurant that opened on November 29, 2022, where you can enjoy delicious meat dishes centered around lean meat and beef tongue. Yakiniku Akatan is located at 5-24-37 JOE Building 105, Watanabe-dori, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. They are currently open only for dinner, with plans to offer lunch and takeout options starting next spring. This is a new concept from the popular "Ginshari Yakiniku Chokkyu" in Shirogane, operated by the Wac Corporation which runs a total of 7 restaurants. I visited on the opening day and was impressed by the stylish and bright interior, with a large charcoal grill at each table. The menu offers a variety of tempting options such as Rock Tan, Ippon Tan tasting set, Thick-cut lean meat, Harami platter, Wagyu grilled sirloin, meat sashimi, and unique dishes like meat sushi and beef tongue curry. I ordered the special opening course which allowed me to taste a variety of delicious items. The appetizers included a Kimchi and Namul platter, meat sashimi platter, meat sushi with seaweed, and Wagyu tartare style. Each dish was incredibly delicious and beautifully presented. The highlight was the Wagyu tartare style dish served in a crispy cone with ice cream, egg yolk, and a side of shredded yam and green onion. It was a unique and enjoyable dish that I would love to try again. The grilled meat platter included thick-cut beef tongue, Harami, and Lamp. The beef tongue was sliced and served with plum paste and wasabi, while the Harami was seasoned with truffle salt, and the Lamp was enjoyed with wasabi. All the meats were of excellent quality and tasted fantastic, although I would like to revisit to perfect the grilling technique. The meal ended with a delicious Wagyu meatball soup, which was a perfect palate cleanser. Overall, my experience at Yakiniku Akatan was delightful, and I look forward to returning for more delicious meat dishes.
