At the En-eating editorial department, some menus of each store are sampled at a media preview prior to the event. We will introduce a part of the lineup, focusing on the recommended menus!

■ This is the recommended menu for the Wagyu Expo!

◆ Okiya "Wagyu beef ribs with plum ham" 1,200 yen

Yakisoba, which is usually offered as a back menu at the shop, is arranged for the Wagyu Expo. Yakisoba with beef ribs is topped with "ume ham" pickled in plums.

"Ume ham" is a Japanese beef ham with a slightly sour taste of plum. It is thick and you can enjoy a firm texture. The seasoning of yakisoba is modest, perhaps to match the salty ham. It is a good balance to wrap yakisoba in ham and eat it. Yakisoba is also mixed with plenty of Japanese beef ribs, making it a meat-based dish.
