Good evening. I am a beauty acupuncturist, Kozue. The other day, I went to a yakiniku restaurant in Shinbashi. This time, it was a restaurant recommended by an acquaintance on social media. The restaurant is a little far from Shinbashi Station, with a large noren (curtain) that says "horumon yaki" as a landmark. The restaurant has seating on the first and second floors, and there are also some tables outside for outdoor dining, which seems to be popular. This time, we ordered the following menu items:
- Freshly grilled morning liver
- Beef heart sashimi
- 5-point horumon assortment (heart tendon, beef horumon, maruchou, shibire, hachinosu)
- Komutan egg soup
- Rice
First of all, the meat is very fresh. The freshly grilled morning liver is probably fresh enough to eat raw. We lightly seared it, then dipped it in sesame salt sauce and garlic, which paired well with the liver's firm texture and the flavors of garlic and sesame. The beef heart has a crunchy texture and is enjoyed as is with garlic soy sauce. It has a satisfying texture and is very delicious without any unpleasant smell.
The horumon assortment includes a 3-point and 5-point selection of beef and pork. This time, we chose the recommended 5-point beef horumon assortment. The horumon on this day included heart tendon, beef horumon, maruchou, shibire, and hachinosu. Each piece is large and the processing and seasoning are done well. The flavors make you want to eat more rice. In particular, the umami of maruchou makes you crave rice, and the soft texture of hachinosu is very delicious.
The Komutan soup comes with or without egg, and we chose the one with egg. The fluffy egg was plentiful, and the rich Komutan soup was exquisite. It is delicious on its own, but dipping rice in it takes it to another level. However, the rice was quite dry and the portion was small. I don't eat much rice, but my friend believes that good rice is important when eating yakiniku, along with delicious meat. They mentioned that it would be better if the quality and quantity of rice were improved.
It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.
