Tokyo Asakusa Dining: Showa-Style BBQ at Daiseien with Voice Menu

“Maki Rosu”: The Underrated Star of the Menu
The must-try dish here is the Maki Rosu (rolled ribeye). This premium cut of beef sits between the luscious marbling of short ribs and the tender texture of sirloin, earning it the nickname “the golden ratio of yakiniku.” The salt-seasoned version is simple yet exquisite, with just the right amount of salt and pepper enhancing the natural sweetness of the beef. Pair it with a cold beer, and you’re in heaven.

The sauce-flavored version is a rich blend of sweet and savory, perfect alongside a bowl of steaming white rice for an instant comfort-food fix. To fully appreciate the “roll” concept, wrap the beef in crisp lettuce leaves. The crunch of the greens paired with the savory meat creates a balanced, refreshing bite that keeps you coming back for more.

Unexpected Surprises: From Tongue to Fin Meat Sashimi
Daiseien’s appeal doesn’t stop at grilled meat. The salt-grilled beef tongue (tan-shio) strikes a perfect balance in thickness and juiciness, while the harami (skirt steak) is tender yet satisfyingly chewy—both are must-orders. And for a unique twist, try the fin meat sashimi (kawari sashimi). Paired with shiso leaves and ume plum paste, this dish is light, flavorful, and the perfect palate cleanser between bites of grilled beef.
