Gyutan no Lemon｜Shinjuku Yakiniku: Thick-Cut Beef Tongue Menu and Reservations

The star of the show: the “Thick-Cut Beef Tongue”! Using premium beef tongue sourced directly from Miyagi Prefecture, each piece is carefully selected for its thickness and springy texture. Once you take a bite, the rich, savory aroma of the beef is simply irresistible.

Set meals typically include oxtail soup, grated yam, mini beef tongue curry, side dishes, and steaming white rice cooked in a large hagama pot (larger rice portions available free of charge). The rice is sourced in partnership with a long-established Kyoto rice merchant and cooked using the “dancing rice” method, resulting in distinct, fragrant grains that are an essential part of the set. Recommended menu items include the Thick-Cut Beef Tongue Grilled Set, the Thick-Cut Beef Tongue and Salt-Koji Aged Beef Tongue Set (perfect for comparing two textures), and the Thick-Cut Beef Tongue and A5 Kuroge Wagyu Rib Set. There is also a Three-Way Beef Tongue Set and a piping hot egg yolk and fish roe rice bowl. The sweet and sour lemon drinks are another house specialty, pairing perfectly with the richness of the beef tongue to keep the meal refreshing.
