Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Tanyaki Shinobu

Steamed gyutan is amazing as always. Other dishes are also good, but the steamed dish is just out of this world. Reservation required.

Their number one choice on their menu is the boiled beef tongue, it was so tenderized and has amazing mixture of seasoning sprinkle on top. It felt like eating melted butter. The one with sauce is also very delicious. The seating arrangement is very cozy like and the open kitchen is great to watch their kitchen staff work. They are very clean and efficient. Service is easy going and quick. Food was prepared quick and must be eaten immediately while it's hot. We finished our meal with plum wine soda in about 15 minutes. I would totally recommend this place if you enjoy eating beef tongue.

I've had the best beef tongue ever in this extremely popular and authentic Izakaya. We've waited for a bit over 30 minutes outside of this store, and normally I hate waiting. But the beef tongue is definitely worth waiting for. We tried 3 different kinds of beef tongue, and I loved every version of it (seared, cooked, etc.).
