Gyuu No Tachijin Serves Fantastic Beef (2007-12-21)
Peter had said on the first day that he wanted to treat us to a nice dinner and asked us not to look at the prices so much but concentrate on the quality. We suggested BBQ which got Rachel's enthusiastic approval. The reason we chose Gyuu no Tachijin (GNT) was because it has been featured in gourmet shows on TV about their highest grade A5 Kuroge Wagyu which just looks so delicious.
GNT is located on one of the main
streets in Shinjuku (
) but is easily missed because of its small
street-level
entrance to a set of stairs leading to the basement. Luckily
Rachel
and Peter were quick to spot its signage and the surrounding landmark
signs.
KL and I had never gone to a BBQ restaurant that served a variety of
very good Wagyu (Japanese beef), so I had no idea it could be THIS
tender, fatty and GOOOD. Although I loved every cut of beef we
ate, my favorite had to be the Shimofuri Karubi. The evenly and
heavily
marbled slices just melted into a nice glob of cloud in the mouth
bursting with the sweet and delicate taste of the heavenly meat.
I think one slice can add a pound to your thigh!
Thank you very much Peter and Rachel for such a scrumptious meal! I definitely want to return.
