2.[Genghis Khan (grilled mutton)] Genghis Khan Hitsujikai no Mise "Itadakimasu"

Genghis Khan Hitsujikai no Mise "Itadakimasu" cuisine

When a lamb reaches 10 to 16 months of age, it grows its second set of permanent teeth. This is considered the best time to enjoy lamb meat, which is then much richer and flavorful than traditional mutton. The animals used are bred specially for their meat, combining an English strain with a strain known for its fine texture, soft meat, and flavorful juiciness, resulting in a luxury meat produced and sold in Japan in limited quantities. This meat comes from our in-house farms, allowing us to offer it at a reasonable price. Our entire team is here to welcome and serve you with a smile, ready to do everything to make your special meal even more special and make sure you can enjoy a great conversation and splendid meal with a friend or client. We highly encourage all fans of the Genghis Khan grilled mutton dish, whether visiting on a business trip or for leisure, to try our version of this local Hokkaido delicacy.
