Dinner for 2. Seated at counter. Could watch the chef cooking our meal at the tailor-made heavy duty Shinpo grill.
Individual tables were available, but I would rather be served by the chef than being the one doing the grilling.
Went for the $1388 set, comprising appetizers, 9 cuts of beef, carbs and dessert. Some cuts of beef were akami wagyu, being leaner cuts of beef with even marbling.
Here’s what we had.
-Appetisers-
Namuru (spicy bean sprouts)
Salad
Raw beef with caviar

Wagyu sirloin yakisuki, served with Japanese egg yolk. Normally this item would appear near the end of the meal, but restaurant adopted a trendy approach by serving it first (like hip sushi joints serving toro first thing). Picky Eater wished it could come with a bite of rice as well.

Chateaubriand (thick cut of the tenderloin) served with apple onion sauce and truffle. Loved it. Thick but delicate.

A trio of sauce-grilled cuts (varies daily):
Tomosankaku (knuckle tri-tip- rare find),
Misuji (top blade) and Ichibo (fatty buttock/rump area). All 3 pieces were not fatty at all; flavorful with tender texture.

A piece of grilled mushroom as pallete cleanser. The plates used were all very nice.

In summary: yakiniku experience that didn’t leave me feeling oily and fatty afterwards. Exceptional quality. Yakiniku fans must try.
