I love beef tongue, so this is the place I visit whenever I crave it. The restaurant has a calm interior. I've only ever been at night, but the atmosphere changes depending on the customers next to you. First of all, the otoshi (appetizer) is delicious. It makes me think I'd like to save it as a snack for sake later. The beef tongue is tender and plump. I recommend the set meals for young people. They're available at night too. I like the pizza. The draft sake from the barrel was delicious. The service is polite, but drinks were slow to come out, so I had to call out to the staff several times. Since I want to enjoy my meal with drinks, when I'm left without a drink for a long time, I end up thinking, "Maybe I should just go home.

I went for lunch around 1 p.m. on a Sunday. I was shown to a seat right after arriving. The restaurant had a spacious, calm atmosphere, and the staff were pleasant. I was told the rice and oxtail soup that come with the set meal can be refilled. The oxtail soup was really delicious. The food was just the right amount and very tasty. I plan to come here again next time I'm in Kita-Senju.

A restaurant serving a wide range of beef tongue dishes, 1 minute on foot from the West Exit of Kita-Senju Station. Today I had 5 à la carte dishes ・Beef tongue platter An assortment of 3 types: marbled, thick-sliced, and thin-sliced. It comes with negi shio, wasabi, and nanban miso as condiments. Personally, I'd recommend wasabi for the sweet marbled one, nanban miso for the thick-sliced, and negi shio for the thin-sliced. ・Menchi katsu with beef tongue, served with salt lemon sauce The crispy menchi katsu and refreshing salt lemon sauce make a perfect harmony. ・Oden simmered in tail soup Comes with nanban miso for changing up the flavor. Oden with the deep richness and flavor of tail soup, unlike any other. The thick-cut daikon is especially superb ・Beef tongue soboro fried rice Seasoned to fully bring out the umami of the beef tongue, a dish I recommend for finishing the meal. ・Beef tongue with oroshi ponzu Melt-in-your-mouth tender beef tongue paired perfectly with refreshing oroshi ponzu and finely shredded white leek. Makes you want to drink sake. There are counter seats, so you can easily go alone. If you like sake, it might be nice to enjoy beef tongue while drinking 獺祭, available while supplies last. This time I had a soft drink. Thank you for the meal.

Overall, I will never come here again. ■About the food Even though the restaurant has "beef tongue" in its name, even the 5000 yen course only came with 2 slices of beef tongue per person. Honestly, paying the same price at another restaurant would have gotten me a more enjoyable meal. Frankly, disappointing. ■Service Terrible. I'd at least like them to explain the prices of the services they provide correctly. Isn't that the bare minimum? ■Atmosphere The floor was wet in many places, and I nearly slipped. For a hospitality business, that's surely the bare minimum standard of hygiene. The service and quality were not worth the price. I'm disappointed.
