The unique characteristics of Japanese yakiniku restaurants, such as the way customers sit around a teppan (iron plate) and the distinct flavors of each restaurant's sauce, have made the yakiniku joints themselves well-liked tourist destinations. Additionally, distinctive Japanese cuisines like sukiyaki and shabu-shabu are gaining popularity. We will now discuss a few popular restaurants that received good ratings in the meat cuisine category on SAVOR JAPAN.
1. Osaka - Namba - Sumibi-yakiniku Tsurugyu
Savor Tajima beef's rich red meat taste with expertly chosen wines.
Along Matsuyamachi-suji Street in Nippombashi, Osaka, you can find the yakiniku restaurant Tsurugyu. You may savor Tajima beef, which has a "rich red meat flavor" that the owner has sought, as well as well chosen wines. The restaurant's décor, which blends "Japanese" and "Korean" design elements, provides a tranquil environment centered on wood grain.
The melt-in-your-mouth "special flat iron steak" and the " top blade steak," a rare cut of meat that can only be produced from a single cow weighing a few kilograms, are all exquisite. When you bite into the "bone-in ribs," which are mature with the bone still attached, the delicacy of the flesh spreads to your mouth. This dish is a favorite among females.
