Here is the “Atsugiri Steak Gyutan-yaki,” a Beef Tongue thick cut steak grilled with perfect heat.

This dish lets you enjoy its unique lightly crisp texture and clean savory flavor. It comes in three sizes, 80g・120g・160g, so you can choose based on how hungry you are.

The zabuton (chuck flap) steak had nicely marbled fat that melted just right and seemed to fade gently on the tongue. The Top sirloin, by contrast, spread with the bold character of lean meat with every bite and reminded me of the meat's natural flavor. One was moist and gentle, while the other was bold and full. Each had its own appeal, and they brought out the best in each other.
