🍜 Thick-Cut Beef Tongue Ramen (JPY 1210)
Previously, beef tongue set meals were usually served with barley rice, but this time I decided to try the ramen combo. The broth has a refreshing soy sauce flavor—rich but not overwhelming. The beef tongue is well-seasoned and tender, paired with green onions and bamboo shoots for a delightful texture. It also comes with a bowl of beef tongue rice, which is savory and generously portioned!

🍱 Lunch Beef Tongue Set Meal (JPY 1628)
The main dish is charcoal-grilled salted beef tongue, with a slightly charred aroma and chewy texture. It’s paired with sausage and chicken meatballs, creating a layered combination. Served with barley rice, pickles, and beef tongue soup, you can add a bowl of grated yam for JPY 165, which is smooth, refreshing, and complements the beef tongue perfectly. The soup is loaded with green onions, adding a fragrant touch 🫶

💵 Total: JPY 3003 (approximately JPY 1502 per person)
