I enjoyed a celebratory dinner at a yakiniku restaurant where I could savor the Tottori prefecture's brand wagyu beef, "Oyama Kuroge Wagyu." Upon arriving at the elegant entrance, I was greeted by a pleasant aroma of incense. The spacious and tranquil interior exuded a sense of luxury, with no smoke in sight, creating a clean and sophisticated atmosphere. I believe this restaurant is perfect for special occasions, dates, and business entertainment.
We ordered the S course for 22,000 yen, which included: slowly simmered tail soup with seasonal ingredients, a platter of four appetizers (Oyama Kuroge Wagyu sashimi with salmon roe and jelly, scallops with plum sauce, bonito sashimi, and simmered seasonal vegetables), thick-cut premium tongue, hand-rolled sushi with Oyama Kuroge Wagyu, sea urchin, and caviar, lamp, thigh, Kyojo-tei salad, straw-grilled harami Dutch oven finish, Chateaubriand, beef tendon chawanmushi, shabu-shabu with ribeye (clam broth), sukiyaki with sirloin, butter rice, red miso soup, pickles, sweet red bean soup, and Oyama Kuroge Wagyu yukke for an additional 2,000 yen.
The staff grilled all the meat for us. The Oyama Kuroge Wagyu beef had a refined quality of fat that came out in just the right amount, rather than oozing out. It might appeal more to those who prefer a more elegant meat rather than heavily fatty cuts. Personally, I enjoyed the flavor. Each dish showcased the delicacy of the ingredients and broth, and everything was incredibly delicious. The dishes were presented beautifully on unique plates, adding to the visual enjoyment.
Starting with the comforting tail soup, the platter of four appetizers was both vibrant and delicate in flavor. The Oyama Kuroge Wagyu sashimi with salmon roe and jelly was particularly delicious. The tender tongue had a rich and creamy fat that melted in the mouth. The hand-rolled sushi made tableside with roasted seaweed was luxurious, with the meat's sweetness complemented by creamy sea urchin and rich caviar. Both the lamp and thigh had a modest amount of fat and were light in flavor. The Dutch oven-grilled harami with a hint of straw smoke was incredibly tasty. The Chateaubriand, with its sweet fat oozing out, was complemented by a generous serving of wasabi.
The beef tendon chawanmushi had a gentle broth flavor, with seaweed adding a nice touch. The chewy beef tendons released their umami flavors into the dish. The sirloin sukiyaki, paired with a sweet sauce and egg yolk, was a delightful combination. The butter rice, seasoned with milk butter, sauce, and truffle, had a wonderful aroma. It was delicious on its own or with the sauce and egg yolk. The meal ended with a gold leaf-infused sweet red bean soup, providing a satisfying conclusion to the dining experience.
I had the opportunity to enjoy delicious Oyama Kuroge Wagyu beef in an elegant and serene setting. The attentive service from the staff made it a memorable and enjoyable experience.
