About
A refined destination where the aroma of charcoal and masterful craftsmanship reveal new dimensions of beef tongue cuisine. Signature dishes include the Nama Shabu‑shabu, delicately prepared in just five seconds, and thick‑cut rare grilled tongue made from the prized tan‑moto (base of the tongue) and tan‑naka (middle section), slow‑cooked at low temperature for 12 hours. Expertly controlled heat draws out remarkable tenderness and concentrated umami, elegantly complemented by condiments such as fresh green peppercorns and hon‑wasabi.
From charcoal grilling to beef tongue shabu‑shabu and meltingly tender boiled tongue, a diverse range of techniques showcases the depth and versatility of this specialty ingredient. The kamameshi, made with premium rice selected by Kyoto’s renowned rice purveyor Hachidaime Gihey, is cooked to order in an iron pot. Infused with house‑made flying fish (ago) dashi and seasonal ingredients, it leaves a rich, lingering finish—an ideal conclusion to the meal.
The warm, wood‑toned interior blends modern Japanese design with a sense of calm, offering spacious counter seating and semi‑private rooms that feel intimate and welcoming. The relaxed atmosphere makes it comfortable for solo diners and women alike. Soft indirect lighting and gentle jazz create a soothing backdrop for enjoying house‑made sours and carefully curated sake alongside the cuisine.
A specialty restaurant dedicated to elevating beef tongue, offering a refined dining experience worthy of life’s special occasions.
