A butcher shop located in the middle of Tsukiji Outer Market. They also offer sukiyaki dishes using high-quality beef from Ginza. I was intrigued by the grilled wagyu skewers at the storefront, so I decided to try some fried items. I purchased the following items for comparison: - "Menchi Katsu (¥150)" - "Matsusaka Beef Menchi Katsu (¥350)" I requested to eat them immediately, and they were handed to me wrapped in heat-resistant paper. Although there were sauces available at the storefront, I decided to try them without any sauce. The menchi katsu was not the typical oval shape but rather round and small in size. The coating was coarse with a crunchy texture. It seemed like they used lard, as there was no unpleasant taste and it did not feel old-fashioned. The "Matsusaka Beef Menchi" had a higher oil content and gave an overall juicy impression. It didn't have a greasy taste but rather a noticeable sweetness. It seemed like there was no marinade in the meat, and the taste did not leave a lasting impression. The "Normal Menchi" had a slightly different texture compared to the Matsusaka beef version. It also contained Wagyu beef and was of good quality. This one gave a more meaty impression. Both had a soft and fluffy texture, making them suitable as a small snack.

Visited the recommended butcher shop "Yoshizawa Shoten" which is a 5-minute walk from Tsukiji Market Station. Arrived around 9 am on Saturday and there was no wait. Was able to pay smoothly. Purchased 300g of domestic black wagyu top cut for 1,650 yen and Matsusaka beef menchi for 350 yen. The menchi was delicious with juicy meat. The Matsusaka beef was full of flavor! I had the top cut for shabu-shabu and sukiyaki, and it was incredibly delicious considering the price of 500 yen. I recommend purchasing it when you visit Tsukiji! Enjoyed it until the end.

Usually, the croquettes are 200 yen each. I'm not sure if it's Matsusaka beef or not, depends on my taste buds. Today, I went with the ham cutlet which costs 100 yen each. Ham has a strong salty flavor, which makes me crave for alcohol. Thank you for the meal.

At Tsukiji, when it comes to menchi-katsu, Yoshizawa Shoten is the place to go. So, I got some for dinner. The Wagyu menchi was sold out, so I got the menchi-katsu instead for 150 yen. I'm warming it up in the toaster, and it's so good - crispy on the outside, juicy and meaty on the inside. Both are delicious, but I'll come back for the Wagyu menchi next time. Thank you for the meal.

From the morning, I was hungry, so I headed to Tsukiji in search of delicious food on the weekend. I wanted to eat sushi, but before the sushi restaurants opened, I spotted this place - Yoshizawa Shoten, offering a wagyu beef skewer for 500 yen. They were grilling it in front of the store. I heard that they are famous for Matsusaka beef menchi-katsu, but I wasn't sure. When I asked if it was freshly grilled, they reheated it for me. Tsukiji seems to have a no-eating-while-walking policy now, so I was guided to a table in a corner of the store (no chairs). On the table, there were condiments like salt and pepper. I asked if it was already seasoned, and they said it was seasoned. So, I decided to eat it as it is without any condiments. Well, how does a 500 yen taste like? Oh, it was incredibly delicious! Could it be A5 rank beef? It was so tasty! For just one coin, I could enjoy a quick and delicious piece of meat. It turns out they have a store in Ginza too. If the taste there is as good and affordable as this, I highly recommend it.

When I go to Tsukiji, I usually stop by this shop. I buy croquettes and eat them as I walk around. The potato inside is very creamy. I don't really taste the meat, but it costs 200 yen per piece. It's a bit on the pricey side. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by a meat shop that was established in the 13th year of Taisho era because I heard that the meat was cheap! The steak meat was around 1,000 yen and it looked delicious and affordable. Since I was on a food tour, I chose to have the Menchi Katsu that I could eat on the spot. The Matsusaka beef Menchi Katsu was 300 yen and it was freshly fried! It was very hot and crispy, and so juicy! It was overflowing with meat juice! It was so delicious that I would love to eat it again if there is a shop nearby. Thank you for the meal!

The temperature is low but the clear air feels nice on this Saturday morning. I woke up a little after 7. Today, I am heading towards the Joban area for a detour to Tsukiji. I bought a Matsusaka beef menchi-katsu for 350 yen. Lately, whenever I see it, I buy menchi-katsu (^◇^;) Normally, I choose the most standard item in the store, but this time there was only one choice at this hour. The seasoning was not too strong, which I like, and the Matsusaka beef was juicy and delicious.

I bought croquettes and minced cutlets for dinner. The croquette didn't have a strong meaty texture, but it was smooth. The minced cutlet was meaty and delicious.

In the pot, there were various cuts of meat. The curry sauce was medium spicy, I suppose. Thank you for the meal.
