Today's lunch was at the underground 2nd floor bar in Umeda Lucua... Since it was Sunday, I was looking for a restaurant where I could make a reservation and this place was a hit! When I arrived at the reservation time, the restaurant had about half of the seats empty, so I might have been able to go without a reservation. The special Toraji set meal I ordered started with a set meal with 5 items, followed by 4 grilled items, a choice of rice dish, dessert, and coffee - a full set! The set meal included tongue tsukune, ultimate yukhoe, yakiniku sushi, condiment tofu, and kimchi. Everything was delicious, but the tongue tsukune was the best. It was served with a raw egg yolk and tasted amazing when eaten with yakiniku sauce. I already wanted some rice at this point. The grilled items included beef tongue shabu cut, top harami, special kalbi, and select wagyu beef - 2 pieces of each. Everyone seemed to love the tongue shabu cut wrapped in green onions. As an "addition" to the grilled items, I ordered thickly sliced beef tongue, filet mignon, and black miso top mino. I felt like the tongue shabu cut wasn't enough, so I added the thickly sliced tongue... Beef tongue is best when it's thickly sliced! The black miso top mino was unfairly delicious with its black miso dipping sauce. The mino was also tender and a perfect match for rice. The choice of rice dishes included super garlicky niku negi kupa and soupless bibin noodles. The kupa was popular among the ladies. After eating so much meat, they still managed to finish the soup as well. As an "addition" to the rice dishes, I ordered the flaming Jan noodles, attracted by the name... I added the spicy seasoning, but it wasn't as spicy as I expected. I was imagining noodles so spicy that fire would come out of my mouth, so I was a bit disappointed. The base of the soup made from beef bones was delicious, so it was a bit disappointing... The meal ended with almond jelly, coffee, and an ice bar for palate cleansing. I was satisfied with the quality and quantity, but I would like to go back if the cost performance was a bit better.
