I had read other reviews of this restaurant and wanted to go there for sure, and I was invited to visit and my wish came true.
There are only two dinner menus, the first from 6:00 pm and the second from 8:00 pm.
Course B (7,000 yen)
After warming up my stomach with appetizers and salad, I had the filet, shikimbo (meat near the butt of the loin), and uchimomo.
The fillet here was wonderfully cooked with the juices overflowing from the cross section. First, you sip its juices and put it in your mouth without putting anything on it. It has a solid meat density and volume that is typical of red meat.
The shikimbo gives the impression of being a little more fatty than the loin. I have not had shikimbo since I had it at "Hinata" in Takadanobaba, and it brings back the shocking deliciousness of the first time I had it.
The chicken thigh was so tender that I asked myself, "Is it really pork? The Uchimomo was so tender that I wondered if it was really pork! And the juices from the meat are so thick that you have to be careful when biting into it.
Next was the menchikatsu burger, which I was looking forward to.
Dipped in a special sauce and sandwiched in a special bun, it was just the right balance of juices and sauce. The meatballs are just as fluffy as the bun, so they don't cancel each other out, which is great.
For the okonomiyaki cutlet, I chose the foie gras-wrapped kata roast.
The rich flavor of the kata roast and foie gras, and the red wine went very well together.
Two kinds of loin sandwiched between fried raw tiger prawns. On this day, truffle butter and wasabi.
The truffle-scented loin finished off the rest of the red wine. I guess the combination of wasabi and meat has been a trend for the past few years.
To top it off, I had a katsudon (pork cutlet served on top of a bowl of rice) that was not closed with an egg, and I had shaved ice (pineapple), which made me hungry.
I was really happy to sit at the counter like at an Edomae Sushi or Tempura Kappo restaurant and listen to the owner talk about the food and his passion for the ingredients.
I hope to go back again.
Enjoy Tonkatsu in a Course
I was finally able to visit the restaurant I had longed for!
I had made a reservation for lunch, but they were able to accommodate a sudden change in the number of people in my party.
We were very pleased with the service. Of course, I am sorry for the inconvenience
I am sure that we were inconvenienced a lot. Thank you very much.
The lunch was a rare pork cutlet course!
The course was even more delicious with kind and attentive explanations! We will definitely repeat our visit.
[Ginza Kagami] Truffle dinner course for lunch!
The main pork is Yonezawa pork from Yamagata Prefecture, but they also use Fuku pork from Hayashi Farm in Gunma Prefecture, and other pork that is about 200 days old.
You can enjoy various parts of the pork such as filet, loin, nakaniku, and shoulder loin in different ways.
The portions are generous and filling.
The way they served tonkatsu was interesting, but I liked that you could have Kumamoto bamboo shoots with shaved cheese!
Course A of 5,000 yen Fully booked.
The smallest amount in the course.
A little too much for my small appetite.
The cutlet is almost bite-sized and easy to eat.
The oil is not too rich, and the fruit to refresh the palate makes it somewhat gentle on the stomach.
It is somewhat gentle to the stomach.
The last meal is a choice of 6 kinds of food.
The cutlets are mostly eaten with salt.
Balsamic vinegar sauce is also good as a change of taste.
