Enjoy Wagyu Yakiniku at [Tenku Yakiniku Seiyuzan]

[Tenku Yakiniku Seiyuzan] is located on the 41st floor of Shiodome City Center linking Shimbashi and Ginza. Characterized by trendy decoration, reasonable prices and excellent meat quality, it is a restaurant operated by Kitan, a yakiniku group that has become popular in recent years. [Seiyuzan] is no exception, offering delicious yakiniku at relatively affordable prices with the city night scenery in the background.

The dry-aged meat at [Seiyuzan] comes from Kintan Group’s dry-aging warehouse. In an environment with the temperature and humidity strictly monitored, they use a unique dry-aging method to make the meat taste sweeter and better. Other ingredients are supplied by manufacturers designated by the head office as well, so as to make sure the high-quality, luxurious cuisine is affordably-priced. Now, let’s take a look at the [Premium Matsusaka Beef Full Course] (15,000 JPY) , one of the many lavish sets served at [Tenku Yakiniku Seiyuzan].

What is Matsusaka beef?

Before introducing the course meals, let’s talk about the definition of Matsusaka beef first. Matsusaka beef is the meat of Kuroge (Japanese Black cattle) reared in the Matsusaka region of Mie and its suburbs, and is considered as one of the “three big beefs” together with Kobe beef and Omi beef. To qualify as Matsusaka beef, the meat must meet strict standards, like coming from virgin female cows and calves reared in the Matsusaka region. Matsusaka beef is often praised as cultivating the “art of meat”, thanks to its beautiful marbling of lean meat and fat.

Savoring the [Premium Matsusaka Beef Full Course]

The course consists of 9 dishes: an appetizer, beef tongue, sushi, steak tatare, salted beef, sautéed beef, sukiyaki sirloin, bibimbap, and dessert. Beef tongue is available in premium type which is soft and tender, and the kind aged for 30 days, which is thicker and has a firmer texture.

Next up is Wagyu sushi with sea urchin and caviar. Topped with three delicious ingredients, the sushi is pleasing to both the eyes and the palate that its freshness and deliciousness will definitely have you craving for more.

Japanese people have been eating raw food since ancient times, but for foreigners, the concept is still a little scary. Fortunately, the Japanese pay a great deal of attention to food hygiene. Not only must the raw meat dishes live up to strict standards, even the chefs have to go through Kintan Group’s training course to be qualified to make raw meat cuisine. So you don’t have to worry when trying the [Sirloin and Beef Tongue Half and Half] – it is so fresh and tender that you will fall in love at first bite!

Coming up next are the salted filet steak (different brands of beef depending on the day), the domestic beef skirt, as well as marinated Matsusaka beef shintama (lean meat), top-grade boneless ribeye steak and blade steak. All cuts of beef are soft and fresh, and customers can grill them to the level they like. The roasted beef with a crispy exterior and a tender center is particularly appetizing, and goes perfectly with the aromatic foie gras truffle bibimbap. Bringing all kinds of high-end ingredients together in perfect harmony, the “premium” full course definitely lives up to the name!

Tips for eating Japanese yakiniku

Most of us don’t get to eat premium Wagyu very often, so when we do, it’s better to eat it the right way to taste its original deliciousness. Here are a few tips to make your Japanese-style yakiniku experience an even more satisfying one:

1. Wait until the grill net is hot:

Meat sticks to grill nets at lower temperatures, and pulling hard will tear the meat, which means the meat juice will be lost. So remember not to put the meat on the grill net before it is heated up; wait for a while first to keep the meat extra juicy!

2. Follow the optimum order:

To preserve the original taste of the meat, it’s better to follow the grilling order of “salt to sauce” and “lean to fat”. If you start with stronger seasoned meat like the marinated one, not only will the grill get dirty easily, you may even miss the deliciousness of the lighter flavored ones as well.

3. Grill the meat piece by piece:

The trick to yakiniku is “high heat” and “short time”. If you put too many slices on the grill net at once, the temperature will drop suddenly and it will get difficult to grill. The correct way is to grill the meat piece by piece.
