Located on the 11th floor of Tennoji MIO Main Building. This is my first time here, but I have been to other shops in Umeda before. Being on the 11th floor, you can see the JR trains from above. Now, moving on to lunch, in Hiroshima, Kouné is more popular than tongue. Kouné comes from the part of the cow's shoulder belly, around the front leg and armpit area. The meat is firm so it is thinly sliced, but it is juicy with a lot of fat, collagen, and gelatin, making it good for beauty. I ordered the Kouné & Harami lunch for ¥1,628 including tax. First, three appetizers, simmered eggplant, simmered small taro, simmered hijiki seaweed in ponzu sauce, and Japanese-style soup with seaweed, green onions, and nori. Kouné is sliced super thin, 3-4 slices, when grilled, it is not greasy, has a firm texture, and is refreshing with yuzu radish. Harami, on the other hand, is easy to eat and delicious. Kouné is a rare delicacy, but I think I prefer Harami.
