[Yushima] Thick-cut beef tongue specialty—Akihabara charcoal-grilled yakiniku Tankiyo Yushima Tenjinshita
Hidden in a basement floor near Yushima Tenjin is a long-standing yakiniku restaurant centered around beef tongue. The main store was founded in Akihabara in Showa 63, famous for its high-quality charcoal-grilled beef tongue; this Yushima branch opened in 2023, bringing the same grilling method to the Ueno/Okachimachi area. The interior space is spacious and bright, equipped with smokeless grills, and the overall atmosphere is more relaxed than typical yakiniku restaurants, making it suitable for gatherings with friends or dining with companions while traveling.
The signature dish is the premium salt-grilled beef tongue. The beef tongue is cut relatively thick, with one serving usually containing about eight pieces, each about one centimeter thick, which has much more presence than the thin-sliced beef tongue at many other shops. The surface of the raw meat is sprinkled with coarse salt and black pepper, and the meat quality shows a beautiful interweaving of pink meat and white fat. After being placed on the charcoal fire, the outer layer quickly browns, bringing out the unique aroma of charcoal, while the inside remains soft and juicy. When bitten into, it has a moderate chewiness without being too tough, and the meat juices and umami slowly spread in the mouth. Many regular customers describe it as just the right thickness and surprisingly soft, which is the main reason people want to revisit this shop. In addition to salt-grilled, there are also scallion salt beef tongue and miso beef tongue; the former uses a refreshing combination of scallions and salt, while the latter adds flavor with the aroma of miso, suitable for those who want to change their palate.
In addition to beef tongue, the restaurant’s beef selection is quite complete. The premium skirt steak has a chewy texture, and its fat aroma is distinct after grilling; it is a must-order cut for many to pair with beef tongue. The premium loin and thick-cut special loin are relatively soft, suitable for those who like marbling and tenderness. The premium short rib is rich in fat and especially appetizing when grilled to a slight char. These beef cuts can be grilled with the restaurant’s homemade, slightly refreshing sauce or simply with salt, which does not overpower the meat’s original flavor. Overall, the beef here emphasizes freshness and charcoal aroma rather than excessive seasoning.
For travel companions who do not eat beef, the restaurant also prepares other options. Pork loin is provided in sauce or salt-grilled styles with a refreshing texture. Grilled chicken can be seasoned with miso or scallion salt, with a moderate portion that is not too greasy. Head-on shrimp is a seafood option; the shrimp meat is sweet and carries a charred aroma after grilling. There is also a sausage platter, as well as various vegetables, kimchi, and seasoned side dishes. Those who want a staple food can order cold noodles or Akadama Zosui (rice porridge), and there is also a special beef tongue ochazuke exclusive to the Yushima branch, suitable for finishing after eating meat. Although these non-beef dishes are not the main attraction, the portions and flavors are enough to make those who do not eat beef happy, so they are not just tagging along.
The restaurant’s spatial design is spacious. The basement dining area provides comfortable table seating and some sofas, and is equipped with smokeless grills, which can effectively reduce odors on clothing. This place is very suitable for family dinners or gatherings with friends, and you can inquire about private booking services; please ask about actual numbers and arrangements in advance. There are no private rooms in the restaurant.
At this Yushima branch, beef tongue remains the absolute protagonist. The thick-cut premium salt-grilled beef tongue is slowly grilled over charcoal to bring out its aroma and juiciness, which is the flavor most worth remembering here. At the same time, options like pork loin, grilled chicken, head-on shrimp, various vegetables, and cold noodles ensure that travel companions who do not eat beef will not be left out. Sitting down, watching the thick-cut beef tongue slowly change color over the charcoal fire, and pairing it with a bite of refreshing homemade sauce or salt is the most direct charm of this long-established branch.
