AKASAKA Tan伍
[A beef tongue restaurant run directly by a wholesaler, conveniently located about 3 minutes' walk from Akasaka Station] Beef tongue isn't just for grilling. A chef who honed their skills at Tokyo Kaikan and Michelin-starred restaurants carefully selects the ingredients and brings out new charms of beef tongue one dish at a time. We offer a wide variety of beef tongue dishes only a specialty restaurant can provide, including a comparison tasting of rare veal tongue and adult beef tongue, toro beef tongue, thick-cut and thin-cut beef tongue, beef tongue shabu-shabu briefly dipped in dashi, and our signature "Original Beef Tongue Katsu Sandwich." Reliable quality and prices, possible precisely because we're run directly by a beef tongue wholesaler, are another appeal of Tan伍. The interior is a calm restaurant space, fully equipped with completely private rooms for 2–6 guests. Usually…

I used to like this this restaurant much more when you could grill the food yourself at the table. It was part of the experience. Now they have changed to a fixed menu, and it’s not the same. The beef tongue in a brown sauce was especially disappointing the taste and texture were not good. Serving with the bread ( not a Japanese style) Overall, the restaurant has lost its original charm. It was much better when guests could do the barbecue themselves.

View on Google3 minutes' walk from Akasaka Station. It's right on the street, so the restaurant is really easy to find! For food⤵︎ ・Chilled beef tongue roast beef ・Beef tongue prosciutto and fruit caprese ・Comparison of 3 kinds of beef tongue ・Veal tongue katsu sandwich ・Beef tongue curry ・Beef tongue tantanmen For dessert⤵︎ ・Today's ice cream ・Basque cheesecake is what we had. (We ate quite a lot lol) Anyway, there are so many beef tongue dishes!! The beef tongue has no gamey smell! It's thick but tender. The texture differs depending on the cut, so it's nice to savor it while enjoying those differences~. Apparently the chef used to work at a hotel, and you can tell from the food that each dish is made carefully with real attention to detail. We ate lots of different dishes but never got bored; if anything, it made me realize all over again how delicious beef tongue is. Honestly, the tantanmen was tastier than the tantanmen you'd get just anywhere... so much that I wondered, "Do you run a ramen shop too?" (lol) Even with just the desserts, the ice cream came with whipped cream and the Basque cheesecake came with ice cream; those little thoughtful touches are another thing I love about this place! Akasaka isn't an area I usually go to, but I'll definitely visit again whenever I have business nearby. Beef tongue lovers, you've gotta try it~♩
