For lunch today, I found a place on Akasaka Street that had opened without me realizing it. It used to be a Western-style restaurant called Tsu'i or a motsu-nabe (offal hot pot) place. The sign outside said "Miraculous Wagyu Combo Set, limited to 50 servings," which caught my attention and led me to enter. Naturally, I ordered the Miraculous Akagi Beef Combo Set for 1,000 yen. The set arrived in just 5 minutes and included ribs, top sirloin, and the cut of the day, or so I thought... Ribs? It was all fat! Cut of the day? Chicken breast? Is chicken considered Wagyu beef now? Oh, I see! It's a miracle because Wagyu beef has transformed into chicken meat! Well, for 1,000 yen, I guess it's not too bad. Moving on, I started grilling the sirloin first, which had a nice flavor. The dipping sauces complemented the meat well, enhancing its natural taste. However, I soon realized that the ribs were 95% fat, causing a flare-up from the grease. As a bonus, I placed the chicken breast in the flames to smoke it while grilling. The lightly flavored chicken breast absorbed the smoky aroma, giving a BBQ-like experience. Since the meat portion was modest, I finished the leftover rice with kimchi and soup to reach a satisfying level of fullness. When Myレビ visited, they had proper "ribs," so I wonder if the quality fluctuates depending on the supplier. If I'm looking for a 1,000 yen yakiniku lunch in Akasaka next time, I might consider Meat Gen as an alternative. The sirloin was good, so if I return, I might try the top sirloin, prime ribs, and skirt steak set next time.
