This week, I had a yakiniku lunch at a restaurant located on the 2nd floor of Think Tower as part of Osaki Week. As I chose to grill the meat myself, I was led to a private room. The lunch menu offers a variety of options, starting from a mixed beef, pork, and chicken yakiniku set for 990 yen including tax. There are various cuts available such as kalbi, prime kalbi, loin, prime loin, tongue with salt, thick-cut tongue, and hormone, with the option to add more meat or switch to bibimbap rice. I opted for the highest-priced lunch menu, the rare black wagyu cut set for 2,980 yen including tax. It felt like a treat for myself. The salad arrived first, followed by the highlight of the meal, the meat set. The set included prime loin, prime kalbi, sirloin, inside skirt, skirt, and tenderloin, each labeled accordingly. The meat was served with a light secret dipping sauce, a heavier special sauce, and salt. All the cuts were delicious, but I particularly enjoyed the skirt cut. It's categorized as hormone, but it was tender and had a healthy feel. While the meat was enjoyable, it would have been nicer if the staff were a bit more friendly. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.
