Good evening. I am a beauty acupuncturist, Kozue. The other day, I went to a restaurant called Kigoki in Ginza, where you can eat steak, shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, etc. using Yonezawa beef. The restaurant is located on the 12th floor of a building just a short walk from Ginza Station. The interior of the restaurant is spacious, with seats spread out. This time, I ordered the shabu-shabu course. First, we were served the specialty of Yamagata prefecture, "dashi". The ingredients included fried tofu, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, greens, and maybe winter melon? Frozen tofu, all with a refined seasoning. Next, we had an assortment of appetizers in small dishes. Yonezawa beef shabu-shabu, Yonezawa beef roast beef with soy sauce foam, Yonezawa beef simmered with pickled ginger, and more. You can enjoy various Yonezawa beef dishes in small portions. Each dish offers a different taste. The sushi was Yonezawa beef roast beef sushi with sauce, and another was Yonezawa beef lean meat sushi, both very tender and full of beef flavor. The shabu-shabu came with 5 slices of Yonezawa beef sirloin and vegetables, with two types of dipping sauce, sesame sauce, and ponzu. We started with the vegetables. The Yonezawa beef had just the right amount of marbling, melting in the mouth. The ponzu was refreshing, and the sesame sauce was rich. Eating pickles in between made the mouth feel refreshed, making the beef taste even better. For the finale, you could choose between rice and udon. I chose udon, and my friend chose rice. The rice came with the shabu-shabu, while the udon came last. The udon was warmed in the pot after cooking the meat, which I enjoyed. Finally, we had a dessert of Shine Muscat ice cream with mint, which looked very beautiful. After the meal, you could choose between coffee and tea. It was a pleasant and enjoyable dining experience. The service was excellent, and I would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.
