☆Recommended Points☆①An independent restaurant run by a chef from the famous "Namuiki" in Suehirocho②A must-try reservation-only Chateaubriand cutlet bowl【Recommended Usage Scenes】Dates, anniversaries, outings with friends/acquaintances/colleagues【Image 1】"Chateaubriand Cutlet Bowl"※This cutlet bowl is a reservation-only hidden menu item that has attracted many visitors after seeing it on social media. The dish features a generous portion of beautifully pink Chateaubriand, known for its incredibly tender texture. The light breading allows the tenderness of the meat to shine through, while the slightly sweetened egg and abundant chives wrapped in the egg add depth to the flavor. If you're interested, be sure to reserve this dish in advance.【Image 2】"Kimura's Toro Taku Kimpa (2,480 yen)"Alongside the popular cutlet bowl, this restaurant's specialty is the rare "Toro Taku." A unique dish that combines meat with the concept of Toro, using rib and misuji cuts to create a substantial portion that almost overwhelms the rice in the Kimpa. The dish allows you to enjoy the sweetness of the meat and the texture of the pickled radish, providing a satisfying visual and taste experience.【Image 3】"Thick-cut Upper Tongue (2,980 yen)"This thick-cut upper tongue boasts a substantial thickness and excellent marbling, resulting in a juicy and flavorful grilled meat. With a crispy texture, the meat offers a balance of fatty sweetness and the umami of the tongue, making it a high-quality dish.【Image 4】"Upper Harami (2,480 yen)"Sourced from "Akashiya" in the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market, the upper harami from this restaurant features beef from Gunma Prefecture, known for its exceptional tenderness and juiciness. A safe and delicious choice for meat lovers.【Image 5】"Thick-cut Sagari (2,980 yen)"This generously thick-cut Sagari boasts a higher fat content than the upper harami, offering a tender texture and a pronounced sweetness from the fat. A bit heavy on the fatty side, but still a flavorful option.【Image 6-7】"Bruschetta (1,980 yen)"A unique offering for a yakiniku restaurant, the bruschetta features yukke on a butter-soaked baguette, creating a delightful combination of meat umami, sesame oil aroma, and buttery bread. A perfect appetizer choice when in doubt.【Image 8】"Upper Loin (1,980 yen)"Opting for the upper loin, a leaner cut with a good amount of red meat, offers a chewy texture and a mild flavor. A dish that pairs well with rice.【Image 9】"Cold Noodles (1,180 yen)"To end the meal on a refreshing note, the cold noodles feature a slightly soft texture with a slightly sweet soup. While the condiments are simple, a bit more acidity in the soup might enhance the overall experience.【Summary】Located near the traditional entertainment district of Rokku, home to venues like "Rokkazan" and "Asakusa Engei Hall," "Yakiniku Kimura" is a new restaurant opened in December 2021 by former "Namuiki" chef Taiki Kimura. A member of the renowned yakiniku restaurant "Yoroniku" group, the restaurant offers a range of unique dishes such as "Toro Taku Kimpa" and "Bruschetta," possibly influenced by its roots at "Namuiki." With such diverse menu options, the restaurant is recommended for outings with friends as well as dates, appealing to both meat lovers and those looking for a more unconventional dining experience.
