リソウのおやじ
I had been trying to make a reservation to visit this place for a while, but it never worked out. Finally, I was able to make my first visit. I had just attended a live concert of my favorite artist, and now I was looking forward to enjoying the best beef while still basking in the afterglow. I arrived a bit earlier than my reservation time, but they had a table ready for me near the entrance. I ordered a non-alcoholic drink and the "Chef's 10-course selection" without hesitation. The course included 10 types of meat, wagyu beef tataki, seared beef tartare, salad, and a refreshing dish to finish. Among the 10 types of meat, there was beef tongue, but since I prefer "negi shio tongue," I also ordered a single serving of it. The first dish that arrived was the seared beef tartare, which looked colorful and lifted my spirits. Underneath the tartare were grated yam, and on top were sea urchin, salmon roe, shiso leaves, and pickled daikon. It was a luxurious and delicious dish. The next dish was wagyu beef tataki with grains of sansho pepper and wasabi on top. The beautiful meat, along with the vegetables underneath, created a refreshing and slightly acidic flavor that complemented the sweetness of the meat. After finishing each dish, the next one arrived, but there was a slight delay in timing. Then came the highlight of the meal - the 10 types of meat in a large wooden box. Each type of meat was beautifully arranged, and a card with the name of the cut and how to eat it was provided. Along with the meat, there was beef fat, sudachi citrus, and a small dish of what looked like spicy cod roe but was actually plum paste. I later suggested that they could include actual spicy cod roe in the future. I tried various cuts of meat, including beef tongue, offal, and lean meat, each recommended with a different condiment. The plum paste was particularly refreshing and delicious with all the meats. After grilling the meats, I waited for the next dish, which was a bit delayed. I eventually had to close the lid of the box to get the staff's attention. Finally, they offered me a choice between curry and cold noodles for the final dish, and I chose the cold noodles. The simple cold noodles with sudachi citrus soup were delicious. However, there was another long wait before the staff brought out the salad and a dessert of two Shine Muscat grapes, warm tea, and a fresh hot towel. Overall, I felt that this restaurant, with its focus on alcohol and exquisite meats, may not be the best fit for someone like me who prefers non-alcoholic drinks.
