Unfamiliar word, "Gyuu mabushi." It's easy to imagine what kind of dish it is, but if you can't eat it easily, it's sure to pique your interest! This fascinating dish can be enjoyed at the restaurant "Bimi Shun-sai," which offers a unique concept where you can order your favorite dishes from four different restaurants, including Japanese and Western cuisine, all located in the Hankyu Umeda Main Store 12th floor. The restaurant includes KICHI Tempura, Takarazuka Hotel, Miwaya, and Minoyoshi, providing a wide variety of options. The spacious interior features a calming wooden decor with a capacity exceeding 100 seats, allowing for a relaxed dining experience. During my visit, the restaurant was not crowded, and I was promptly seated at a nice corner table. The Gyuu mabushi set I tried was from Miwaya, a restaurant with a long history founded in Gifu Prefecture in 1963. "Gyuu mabushi" is a registered trademark of the restaurant. You can choose from different cuts of beef such as fillet, loin, and thigh, with prices varying accordingly. I opted for the "Black Wagyu Loin Mabushi" priced at ¥3300 (tax included) as I enjoy the marbled part of the meat. The presentation was appetizing, even in a small-sized container. The glossy meat coated in sauce looked irresistible. The thinly sliced meat was incredibly tender, as expected from Black Wagyu. The sweet sauce alone was delicious, but it paired perfectly with the gentle dashi broth made with kombu and bonito, which could also be enjoyed on its own. The slightly warm temperature was understandable to prevent the meat from toughening up. When poured over the meat, the combination exceeded my expectations in terms of flavor. The sweetness of the sauce enhanced the umami of the meat, and the wasabi and perilla added a refreshing touch. The portion was satisfying, and I left with a full stomach. It was my first time trying Gyuu mabushi, and it became a memorable experience. While the Black Wagyu may be on the pricier side, the restaurant offers a range of prices, including more affordable options. With a wide selection from four different restaurants, "Bimi Shun-sai" is a fantastic place to dine with family, ensuring everyone can enjoy their desired dishes. Thank you for the delicious meal.
