Immerse yourself in the refined flavors of yakiniku (Japanese grilled meat cuisine) paired with sommelier-selected wines at “Japanese Yakiniku Nikugen Roppongi” (hereunder referred to as “Nikugen Roppongi.”) At this popular Tokyo establishment, the spotlight shines on Black Angus beef, wet-aged for over 30 days to unlock the true essence of its taste.
Prepared by a grillmaster before your eyes: “Specialty Tenderloin Steak (with Foamy Soy Sauce & Wasabi Soy Sauce Pickle)”
A crowd favorite, the “Specialty Tenderloin Steak (with Foamy Soy Sauce & Wasabi Soy Sauce Pickle)” is the hallmark of their menu. The arrival of this substantial tenderloin steak at your table is an enchanting sight to behold.
“名物 極厚ヒレ芯～泡醤油 葉わさび醤油漬け～,” Specialty Tenderloin Steak (with Foamy Soy Sauce & Wasabi Soy Sauce Pickle) 2,629 JPY (tax included)
Crafted exclusively from the Chateaubriand, the heartiest portion of the tenderloin, this dish is a testament to culinary excellence. The restaurant staff takes the lead in grilling, ensuring each slice is perfectly cooked and served at its prime. The grilling process, brief yet precise, locks in the rich flavors, presenting an aromatic crust and a juicy, rare core packed with umami.
It’s recommended to indulge in this dish with the accompanying condiments. The emulsified “foamy” soy sauce introduces a gentle, airy texture, while the pickled wasabi leaves impart a crisp, refreshing finish.
Fluffy salt provides the perfect seasoning for the “Specialty Wet-aged Outside Skirt Steak (Snow Salt & Lemon)”
For those seeking a robust flavor experience, the “Specialty Wet-aged Outside Skirt Steak (Snow Salt & Lemon)” is their go-to recommendation. This dish celebrates the jō harami, a particularly thick and prized cut of the harami (outside skirt steak), served in its most natural form.
“名物 熟成塊ハラミ～淡雪塩 レモン～,” Specialty Wet-aged Outside Skirt Steak (Snow Salt & Lemon) 2,629 JPY (tax included)
Just like the tenderloin steak, this premium cut of wet-aged Black Angus beef is expertly prepared in front of guests by the restaurant’s grillmasters and brought to its perfect state of doneness.
Accompanied by lemon and a delicate form of salt, the steak invites a unique tasting experience. This “snow salt,” a blend of rice flour and salt, resembles snow in appearance and delightfully melts in your mouth, just like snowflakes on your tongue. It offers a mild saltiness that elevates the skirt steak’s flavor profile. Even when generously applied, it doesn’t overpower the beef, and rather enhances the meat’s natural sweetness.
