Depth that even a connoisseur can taste.

Wanting to use my hands to make a living, I entered the food industry because of my interest in cuisine. With over 20 years since we opened Rikyu, you'll soon find out why connoisseurs say, "When it comes to grilled beef tongue, one seeks the modest sensitivity that's a product of a single coal in the fire. The flavorful depth of each ingredient can change with the chef."
