Eisaka "Tetsu" On this day, I was invited to a joint birthday party with fellow gourmet activity members I met on Facebook! The gathering, named "Satsuki-kai," included 15 people born in May who came together to celebrate each other. The venue was the yakiniku restaurant "Tetsu," located just a 3-minute walk from Eisaka Station. With the group being food enthusiasts, the choice of the restaurant was spot on. The restaurant had a calm atmosphere with cozy box seats and private sunken kotatsu rooms at the back. We opted for the special course priced at 11,000 yen, which included a selection of premium cuts of black wagyu beef and all-you-can-drink. It was promising to be a fun evening. We started with a variety of namul, salad, and kimchi to warm up. Then came a platter of two types of sashimi - tongue and harami. The quality of the meat was evident. Next, we enjoyed a platter of three types of sashimi, with the raw beef tripe served with chojang sauce being a standout. The special yukhoe with its unique sauce was delightful. The seared steak with grated radish was refreshing. We then compared the different textures and flavors of tongue and premium tongue. The balance of lean meat and marbling was exceptional. We savored the differences between sagari and harami, with each offering its own richness of flavor. The kakumaku harami was particularly tender and marbled. The rare kainomi bara cut was a delightful combination of fat and tender lean meat. Each slice was just right. The hiuchi, a lean cut with a hint of marbling, was delicious. The red tripe, cooked with just the right amount of char, was succulent. The shimacho, a rare cut, was beautifully marbled and melted in the mouth. The akasen, a red tripe, had a chewy texture and a delicate balance of fat. The upper mino had a great texture and quality. The shima chou, a tripe cut, was grilled to perfection, with the fat melting in the mouth. We ended the meal with a choice of large, medium, or small cold noodles, opting for the large size. The noodles had a firm texture and were authentic. Adding vinegar made it refreshing. Despite being full, we enjoyed a cake brought by one of the guests before concluding the celebration. It was a truly enjoyable evening. Let's do this again next year!
