Kobeya's 7,000-Yen Selection Course: Offal and Lean Wagyu

Chef’s Choice Kimchi & Namul Platter

A clean, gently spicy starter that builds the anticipation for the beef.

Today’s Special (sashimi or chilled dish)

This dish, a great favourite with our regulars, is made with the freshest beef and tastes the way only a meat professional with a Certified Meat Expert’s knowledge can make it.

Crisp Green Peppers

Fresh, crisp green peppers to eat with our own meat miso.

Premium salted beef tongue

Premium salted beef tongue uses the tender part closest to the root of the tongue, known as tanmoto. It is well marbled and soft, so enjoy the flavour of the fat in the tongue.

Zabuton (chuck flap)

Part of the chuck roll and one of the rare cuts. It is known for its beautiful fine marbling and a texture that melts away. You get both the sweetness of the fat and the savour of the beef, for a rich but elegant flavour.

Premium short rib with wasabi

The deep savour of premium short rib meets the fresh heat of wasabi, and the match is superb. The sweetness of the fat and the sharp bite of the wasabi lift each other, spreading rich flavour and aroma through the mouth.

Misuji (top blade)

One of the rare cuts, with a good balance of lean meat and fat and a juicy, concentrated flavour. Expect a melting texture and a savour that grows the more you chew.

Uchimomo (top round)

Uchimomo is firm, tightly packed lean meat: a lean cut that tastes clean but grows more savoury the more you chew. Grilled with salt, the natural depth of the beef comes through directly, and it goes beautifully with lemon. Light on fat but very satisfying — a smart kind of delicious.

Today’s premium lean cut

The slice chosen for the day by a meat professional with a Certified Meat Expert’s qualification is a treat for whoever gets it.

Kobeya Offal

Kobeya Offal is springy, and the more you chew the more the flavour of the fat comes through. Soaked in our own sauce and grilled over charcoal, it picks up a real toasted depth. The springy offal bursts with juice, mingles with the richness of the sauce, and leaves a deep savoury finish with every mouthful. The sweetness of the fat and the sharpness of the sauce are perfectly balanced, and you will find yourself wanting rice with it.

Heart

Heart has no off-flavour, little of the character some people mind, and a clean taste. The texture takes a little getting used to. It is popular even with guests who are not usually keen on offal.

Choose your finish: stone-pot bibimbap or Morioka cold noodles

Pick whichever the two of you feel like. It keeps things interesting right to the end.

Dessert ice cream

A faintly sweet finish that rounds off a date nicely.
