Yakiniku chain GYU-KAKU opened a new "Akasaka store" on April 17th. In addition to the regular menu, there are limited menus such as "Aged Harami" and "Kuroge Wagyu Beef Steak" that can only be eaten here.

When I went to the store, there were nearly 30 kinds of limited menus (!), So we, the editorial department, actually ate and ranked what we thought "this should be done" without permission. !!

◆ Top 3 recommended "meat"

First of all, the main meat. Introducing the TOP3 from all 12 types!

1st place ... Aged Harami Miso 890 yen


The balance of lean meat, fat, and seasoned miso was the strongest, so I ranked first!

This meat has more sashimi than normal skirt steak, and when you put it in your mouth, the fat is sweet and melts. The meat is soft and fluffy and crispy, and the more you chew, the more juicy the gravy overflows.

You can enjoy the sweetness of fat and the umami of lean meat in a mixed manner, and the fragrant richness of miso spreads softly, making you feel like "I'm glad I was Japanese!"

2nd place ... Aged Harami salt 890 yen


Aged Harami salt, which is one of the best menus in the restaurant. Although it was defeated by miso by a small margin, it is a gem that you can simply taste the deliciousness of the meat itself with green onion salt.

GYU-KAKU's aged meat is aged by a method called "wet aging", and by aging it in a vacuum package for 30 to 40 days, it has less nutty aroma. Certainly, compared to general aged meat, it has less habit and I felt it was easier to eat.


3rd place ... Japanese black beef blade steak 1,480 yen


Thick sliced Japanese black beef blade steak with sea urchin and wasabi. It's not an exaggeration to say that they reign at the top of seafood and mountain food, respectively. Is it okay to have such a luxury at the same time?

The steak meat with plenty of sashimi melts and disappears the moment you put it in your mouth, even though it is thick. The sweetness of the rich meat fat and the rich sea urchin mariage are superb!

When you put a little wasabi on it, the spicy stimulus enhances the taste of meat and sea urchin. It seems to go well with wine as well as beer and highball.


In addition, the lineup of limited meat is as follows. Unfortunately it was out of the ranks, but they were all excellent!

・ Aged Harami sauce 890 yen


・ Thick sliced beef hearts 690 yen


・ Kalbi-only rice Kalbi 690 yen


・ 6 kinds of domestic beef hormones 980 yen



You can also order each of the 6 hormones individually.

Lever (salt / miso) 290 yen Giara (salt / miso) 390 yen Shimacho (salt / miso) 390 yen Marucho (salt / miso) 390 yen Shibire (salt / miso) 390 yen Mino (salt / miso) 390 yen

◆ TOP 5 of "Snacks / Rice"!

I ranked the TOP5 from all 15 snacks and rice menus other than meat!

1st place ... Beef hormone Ahijo 690 yen


At GYU-KAKU's regular stores, ordering shrimp ajillo and hormones separately, and eating the grilled hormones on the ajillo is secretly a hit as an arrangement menu known to those in the know. The official menu of this is Ahijo, a beef hormone limited to the Akasaka store.


Ahijo is simmering over the fire. When it gets warm, try eating it as it is. Olive oil with garlic and basil paste goes well with plenty of hormones ...! Of course, even if you put it on the attached baguette.

2nd place ... Tantanmen without beef horn juice 690 yen


Especially recommended for spicy food lovers, Shirunashi Tantanmen! Plenty of sesame seeds and chili powder are combined. The ingredients are cabbage, green onions, bean sprouts, and minced meat.

If you sip the thick, chewy noodles that are vigorously mixed, the rich sesame scent will fill your mouth. It's delicious because it's so chewy that you can feel the roughness on your tongue. And it's pretty spicy! The chili peppers are fluttering behind.



After eating about half, pour the tail soup provided in the pot (it's okay to drink this alone) and eat it with a little mellow spiciness. It is a perfect menu that you can enjoy twice with one plate.



3rd place ... Smoked pork cheese fondue 790 yen


Huge smoked pork bacon seasoned with pepper and olive oil. Heat the cheese on a separate plate to melt it, then cut the crispy bacon and dip it.


Bacon with plenty of hot cheese is a super horse with juicy gravy that exudes as you chew, a smoky scent, and the richness of melting cheese! The spicy pepper is also a nice accent.

4th place ... 〆meat and roasted rice 490 yen


Other white rice topped with plenty of raw horse meat and dropped eggs. Break the egg, hang a little sauce on the tabletop, and mix the whole.


Moderately greasy horse meat melts softly in your mouth. Wrap it in mellow egg yolk to make it even more melty. The bitterness of green onions refreshes the aftertaste.

5th place ... Iwate's fungus bed Shiitake mushroom roasted 390 yen


Thick shiitake mushrooms simply seasoned with salt and pepper. If you put it on the net and leave it for a while, the umami juice will gradually ooze out. Happiness to keep this from spilling ...!

By the way, don't you feel like you've grown up when you start to taste shiitake mushrooms?


In addition, there is also such a menu for snacks and rice limited to the Akasaka store. All recommended!

・ Beef ham (prezaora) 490 yen


・ Beef tongue sausage 590 yen


・ 〆 Sea urchin rice 490 yen


So far, we have introduced the limited menu that you should definitely eat at the GYU-KAKU Akasaka store! The store also offers halal-friendly courses, craft beer, and sparkling mugs, which are the first menus for GYU-KAKU.

The interior of the store is also chic with wood grain, and there are spacious and open window seats, so you can enjoy a slightly different atmosphere from the usual GYU-KAKU. It seems that you can have an "adult way of enjoying" that is unique to the Akasaka store.


The store is located on the 2nd floor of Central Akasaka Building, 3-12-11 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo. Business hours are from 11:30 to 3:00 the next day.
