宥火 鈴(ゆか)
I recently visited the Maruushi Meat yakiniku restaurant in Shinbashi, which I have become obsessed with. The atmosphere was more casual compared to the Nishishinbashi branch, which I really liked. I was planning to order the uni roll towards the end of the meal, but I ended up getting too full and couldn't eat it, so I started with the uni roll. I ordered various meats and alcohol a la carte, including the luxurious uni roll with rib loin, tongue with salt, harami, salted hormone, liver, and Maruushi karubi, along with napa cabbage kimchi. The long-awaited uni roll was exquisite, with the rich umami of rib loin and uni blending perfectly. It lived up to my expectations with its superb taste. The tongue with salt had a smooth texture and a satisfying crunch, with a rich and juicy flavor that was delightful. The harami was tender, juicy, and allowed me to fully enjoy the flavor of the meat. The salted hormone melted on my tongue, providing a unique texture and flavor that I savored until it disappeared. The liver was surprisingly delicious, with a sweet and melting texture that I had never experienced before. It was so smooth and creamy, and the flavor and aroma of the liver as it melted in my mouth were irresistible. The cabbage appetizer, which was free refill, was also delicious. The fresh sweetness of the cabbage combined with the creamy and slightly tangy dressing with a Japanese twist was a perfect balance of flavors. It served as a great palate cleanser and a tasty snack. I still love Maruushi Meat! The best part is that the bill was very reasonable. If you order the dishes you want, the course menu becomes a great deal, but they also offer a la carte with all-you-can-drink options, allowing you to enjoy premium meat and alcohol at a reasonable price. I went on a Sunday during the long weekend, and there was already a line of reservation customers before the opening. The restaurant quickly filled up with more customers coming in, and by the time I left, it was almost full. It's rare to see such a bustling restaurant in Shinbashi on a Sunday or holiday. If it's this busy on weekends, I imagine it must be just as crowded on weekdays. The luxurious uni roll with rib loin is limited to 30 servings per day, so it's best to make a reservation no matter when you plan to visit.
