On December 12, 2010 (Sunday), we visited the restaurant around 6:00 pm with three people after shopping in Akihabara. We decided to have dinner here in front of the station. ●Raw Kiwi Sour, Raw Lemon Sour, each 515 yen I always order the raw Kiwi Sour, but this time I decided to try the raw Lemon Sour. The Kiwi Sour is delicious because it has a lot of fruit juice, but I was disappointed that the raw Lemon Sour had very little fruit juice. ●Bite Rice (Large) 578 yen I ordered this because it is a rice dish specifically for eating kalbi. It had Korean seaweed roughly torn on top of the rice. Kalbi can be eaten deliciously, but other meats are also delicious. ●Winter Recommended Assorted (2-3 servings) 1690 yen It was a temporary menu item recommended by the staff. It included 2-3 pieces each of kalbi, loin, harami, pumpkin, and eringi. It is cheaper compared to the regular assorted platter, and I think it's fun to eat while chatting. ●Beef Tongue Salt 620 yen I had beef tongue for the first time at Gyu-Kaku. It is thin but has a strong umami flavor and I thought it was delicious. ●BLT Caesar Salad at a Yakiniku Restaurant 620 yen This salad is for 2-3 people. It is a Caesar salad with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and egg, but I felt it was a bit short when shared among three people. ●Bonjiri with Salt Sauce 410 yen I always order this. It's my second favorite menu item at Gyu-Kaku. Compared to the miso sauce from the previous time, the salt sauce is quite light. However, the meat is packed with umami flavor, so there is no feeling of dissatisfaction. ●Gyu-Kaku Kalbi (Premium) 515 yen This is the representative dish of Gyu-Kaku. It has a good thickness and texture. ●Pietro with Miso Sauce 494 yen This is my favorite menu item! The meat is so tender and flavorful. I always order this, but this time I asked for it with miso sauce. I thought the miso sauce soaked into the meat well, making it even more delicious. ●Tsukimi Kalbi 515 yen This seems to be a limited-time menu item. You dip the kalbi in the egg yolk. The flavor becomes richer, enhancing the deliciousness of the kalbi. ●Ousama Harami 620 yen This is a limited-time menu item. The large harami meat is cut with kitchen scissors before being grilled. It is a juicy and thick piece of meat. It may be a bit difficult to chew, but I think that's what makes it good. ●Kalbi Kuppa (Regular) 830 yen We shared it among three people, so we could eat it easily. It is less spicy than the regular kalbi kuppa, making it easy to eat. When eating meat, strongly flavored items can interfere with the taste of the meat, so I think this product was well thought out. ●Matcha Ice Cream 200 yen I wanted to order Gyu-Kaku ice cream, but it was sold out, so I switched to this. The matcha ice cream tasted similar to Haagen-Dazs matcha ice cream with a strong tea flavor. It helped to refresh the mouth after eating the meat. The restaurant had just opened in December. Therefore, the staff seemed a bit inexperienced, and the manager was giving instructions constantly. The staff seemed a bit unsteady when bringing the dishes, making mistakes in the orders, which made us worried. I hope for their growth in the future. The restaurant is located right in front of the station, so at 6:30 pm on Sunday, the restaurant was full, and more than 10 groups were waiting afterward. I recommend going early. Also, there is a coupon on Gurunavi, so I recommend printing it out or showing it on your mobile phone.
