I used it for lunch. The beef tongue was delicious, but the pork was also tasty! The cost performance was neither good nor bad. It felt like a little luxury for lunch. It would have been better if the staff's response was a little better.

Today I came to Kitasenju. It's lunchtime at 12:30. Now, what should I have? I noticed a sign for the lunch menu at Gyutan Sasakawa right after getting off the station. I was drawn to the "Gyutan Zabuton Steak Teishoku (1750 yen)". The restaurant is on the 4th floor of a mixed-use building. When I entered, the place was quite clean and had a bit of a high-class feel. It's Sunday but there were not many people, so I was seated right away. I quickly decided on the "Gyutan Zabuton Steak Teishoku" and also ordered a coffee and a petit dessert set (380 yen). The food was served in about 5 minutes. Now, let's dig in. The four types of condiments and sauces added great flavor to the dish. Delicious! The barley rice was also tasty. By the way, you can have seconds of rice and soup. The coffee after the meal was also delicious. The total cost was just over 2000 yen, but it was worth it in terms of cost performance. The waitress here had a great smile, which was also a nice touch. I would like to visit this place again. (Seems like it would be good for dinner too.) Thank you for the meal.

I visited without a reservation on Friday night. I think I was able to get in because it was early, and more customers started coming in afterwards. It was my first time trying beef tongue shabu-shabu. It was delicious when eaten with green onions and ponzu sauce. I also had udon noodles as a finish. The service was polite and kind. I will definitely visit again.

I made a reservation for a course that includes motsunabe through an online booking. However, I realized that I had booked the wrong date and showed up a day early Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ I informed them of my mistake and they kindly allowed me to use the course today as scheduled. I was grateful for their flexibility (⌒‐⌒) We started with appetizers - beef tongue stew, menchi katsu, pork loin and grilled beef tongue, all of which were delicious. The motsunabe course ended with ramen. The soup was so tasty that I wanted to have seconds of the ramen (^.^) Overall, it was a delightful meal. Thank you.

Mixed-use building 4th floor... Take the elevator up. Weekday evening around 7 pm. Empty and quiet. Enjoying a solo drink... ★Bottled beer 638 yen★Appetizer 330 yen★Thick-cut beef tongue 1,430 yen★Aged miso-marinated beef tongue 1,408 yen★Warm egg Caesar salad 638 yen. Caesar salad tastes the same everywhere, but this one is somehow delicious. Maybe it's the flavor of the bacon?... Anyway, it's a tasty Caesar salad. The "thick-cut beef tongue" is truly thick-cut. It has a firm texture, chewy, and rich in flavor. The "aged miso-marinated beef tongue" seems to have even stronger umami. Highly recommended.

I felt like eating meat, so I ended up at a local restaurant. I went for Italian food, but the sign for beef tongue caught my eye. I took the elevator to the 4th floor and found a calm atmosphere inside. I ordered the thick-cut beef tongue set meal for 1,430 yen, which came with rice (barley rice) and soup (oxtail soup). You could get free refills on rice and soup. The man next to me ordered a beer with his power lunch for 330 yen, which seemed like a good deal. The beef tongue was indeed thick and had a chewy texture. I struggled a bit to cut it with my teeth, but I managed to finish it with determination. I also got refills on rice and soup, showing my determination. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. Thank you.

I came to meet a friend in Kita-Senju. We chose a place to avoid crowds and limit the number of people, and ended up at a beef tongue restaurant. The restaurant was empty at 5:00 pm, which made us feel safe. We ordered the "Choi Nomikasetto" set, which had 3 different courses. Since there were 3 of us, we each ordered a different set, allowing us to try 6 different dishes. The thinly sliced beef tongue was delicious, with just the right amount of salt. I also ordered daikon radish and fried squid legs, both of which were tasty. Other dishes ordered by our group included fried smelt and spicy squid legs, which were surprisingly delicious. I had a highball for my drink. Later on, we tried the marbled beef tongue, which was cooked perfectly. We also had beef tongue tempura, which was a hit. The beef tongue minced meat with tofu and cheese was a unique combination that worked well. We ended the meal with a seafood sushi platter, which was satisfying. Overall, we enjoyed the delicious food and had a great time discussing our next meeting place.

Big surprise at the Biglia Kitasenju Nishiguchi Building, about a 2-minute walk from JR Kitasenju Station West Exit. On the 2nd floor, there is Shabu Shabu Onyasai Kitasenju store and Yakiniku Sakaba Gyu-kaku Kitasenju Ekimae store. On the 4th floor, there is Gyu-tan Sasagawa Kitasenju Nishiguchi store and Sagano Kitasenju Nishiguchi store. And on the 3rd floor, there is a karaoke room, Utagiroba Kitasenju Nishiguchi Ekimae store. Gyu-tan Sasagawa Kitasenju Nishiguchi store on the 4th floor is a specialty Gyu-tan restaurant. It is operated by Tsubohachi Co., Ltd., which owns brands such as Tsubohachi, Akane-doki, Ito Section Chief, and Shin-hachi. Gyu-tan Sasagawa has 4 stores in Tokyo, including this one, as well as in Frente Sasazuka, Oita Prefecture, and Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. Kitasenju's weekend lunches are always crowded. Be careful as there are some hidden gems among the less crowded restaurants. Even so, the restaurants in the Biglia Kitasenju Nishiguchi Building are often less crowded. Hoping for a quiet experience, I visited "Sasagawa" around 1 pm. There was a reassuring sign near the entrance saying "Today we are open for lunch!" The restaurant, with about 90 seats, was indeed not crowded. When I said I was dining alone, I was seated at a table in the back. Although I think I could have sat anywhere, for some reason, I was seated next to a noisy old lady. Inconsiderate... When I looked at the menu, there were options like Thick-cut Gyu-tan (3 pieces for 1450 yen) and Thinly-sliced Gyu-tan (7 pieces for 1380 yen), but I wanted to try two different types. *Thick-cut & Thinly-sliced Gyu-tan for 1680 yen (excluding tax) - 2 thick-cut slices, 4 thin slices, barley rice, salad, tail soup. A combination of thick-cut Gyu-tan, full of meaty flavor, and thinly-sliced Gyu-tan, soft and easy to eat. The thick-cut Gyu-tan had less of a processed feel compared to Riku, which left a good impression. It actually tasted like meat. The thinly-sliced Gyu-tan felt more like imported beef tongue. The tail soup had very little ingredients and was more like a clear soup. By the way, when you divide the price of the set meal by the number of slices, it comes out to 483 yen for one thick-cut slice and 197 yen for one thin slice. Combining 2 thick-cut slices and 3 thin slices brings the total to 1557 yen. Huh? The combination of two types doesn't seem cost-effective. It would be more worthwhile to have 4 thin slices instead.

I visited during Sunday lunchtime and enjoyed the 4,000 yen all-you-can-drink course. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and the food was delicious. The all-you-can-drink option was much appreciated. It's a place where you can focus on the meal rather than just drinking like at an izakaya. I will definitely visit again.

The atmosphere is calm and the beef tongue is delicious. The beef tongue stew was also good!
