Today, for some reason, I was craving yakiniku from the morning! I wanted to eat delicious yakiniku, so I was thinking about where to go... I wanted a place where quality mattered more than quantity, not an all-you-can-eat place, and somewhere I could go on the same day... Mambou was closed, but Satsuma Gyutan seemed like a good choice, but I wasn't sure if it was available... I decided to go and check it out. The parking lot was about 70% full, so I went in and luckily found an open table. I chose the "Special Sirloin Yakiniku Lunch" from the menu and also ordered extra Upper Belly Kalbi. The quality of the meat here is very good, and they also sell various types of raw meat nearby. Sometimes I buy raw minced cutlets and cream croquettes here and fry them at home, and they turn out delicious. Soon, the Sirloin Yakiniku Lunch arrived on a tray. The thick-cut sirloin came with salt, pepper, and sauce, on top of a green salad with potato salad, kimchi, spinach namul, rice, and miso soup. The extra Upper Belly Kalbi also arrived on a separate plate, so I started grilling it. The sirloin, about 1cm thick, was cut into sticks, making it easy to grill, and the marbling was quite visible as the fat dripped from the heat. I grilled it until it had a slight char on the outside, and it was cooked to a medium-rare state. It was very tender, and the juices overflowed in my mouth, melting away with just a little chew! This was an incredibly delicious sirloin steak! Next, I marinated it in the Gyutan sauce. It's a popular sauce sold separately at Gyutan, with a unique yakiniku flavor that becomes addictive, and the meat melted in my mouth here too. I kept resetting my palate with the salad while enjoying the meal, and the potato salad with plenty of vegetables was also delicious. I then grilled the Upper Belly Kalbi. It was about 5mm thick and had marbling that didn't seem like belly meat at all! The fat melted quickly from the heat, causing flames to rise. I grilled it lightly, and to my surprise, it was even more tender than the sirloin! It melted without needing to be chewed. While the portion of meat may seem small at first glance, I was satisfied with the excess intake of meat juices and marbled fat at my age. If it had been lean meat, I might have been able to eat a bit more, but the tenderness and juicy texture of this meat make it a delicious treat worth looking forward to for the next time! My mouth was shiny with satisfaction, so I decided to stop at this point today. It was a very delicious yakiniku lunch! I don't need it every day, but occasionally could be good! I'll be mindful of my cholesterol and high blood fat and come back to eat again! It was really delicious! Thank you for the meal! Phew!
