Tonight, with a hungry stomach, I crossed the Tenma Bridge, gazing at the romantic night view reflected on the river, and arrived at "Wagyuyakiniku Nikuhachi Tenma Store," a yakiniku restaurant located just one block away. The interior of the restaurant, with a black color scheme, is long and deep, and although sitting at the counter would be nice for a couple, tonight I chose to relax in a private room. I decided to order a la carte after looking at the menu. Based on the recommendation of the owner, Mr. Nomoto, I tried the Nikuhachi Yukke, the limited quantity thinly sliced liver, and the rare Kumamoto "Wao." I also ordered Chateaubriand, Kagoshima brand wagyu, and a few other cuts to try different parts. I started with a toast with a draft beer to quench my thirst, and kickstarted my appetite with the slightly spicy kimchi. The beautiful Nikuhachi Yukke arrived as soon as the roaster was lit. As rumored, the pink thinly sliced meat and egg yolk intertwined, creating a delicious taste that made me feel like melting. The thinness of the slices, different from the usual thick cuts, was the key point, and it was a masterpiece that was sure to elevate the dining experience. The plate of meat presented, with a powerful chunk of meat, further heightened my excitement. The beautiful marbling exuded an aura that seemed to melt as I approached it. The Chateaubriand on the roaster, with flames and smoke dancing, was served to me at medium rare. When I bit into it, the meat juice burst into my mouth, and the high-quality, rich umami taste and fragrant aroma were truly exquisite. The large seared loin, the size of a palm, was grilled by the staff. When placed on the grill with tongs, it immediately caught fire, and after rolling it in the tangy grated ponzu sauce, I placed it gently on a plate and savored the taste. The generous amount of grated daikon provided a refreshing and light flavor, allowing me to enjoy even the fatty cuts with a good balance. Among the enticing rice dishes, I was particularly interested in the "Stone-grilled Mentaiko Cheese Bibimbap," so I decided to try it. Sizzling on the hot stone pot, as I peeled off the crispy burnt rice and flipped it, the cheese melted and became crispy. The combination of mentaiko and cheese was a guaranteed success in the bibimbap. It was a restaurant where I could enjoy various cuts of reliable wagyu beef and also indulge in their original menu items, so I'm glad I went a la carte. I look forward to inviting my fellow meat lovers and visiting again casually. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
