ー Restaurant Introduction ー
'Thick-cut beef tongue is the way to go!' This phrase perfectly captures the philosophy of Gyutan no Lemon Asakusa. Since opening its first branch in Shinjuku in 2021, this restaurant specializing in charcoal-grilled thick-cut beef tongue has gained immense popularity on social media for its incredible taste. The Asakusa branch is the third location following its successful expansion into Osaka.
Gyutan no Lemon Asakusa uses high-temperature Binchotan charcoal grilling to bring out the ultimate flavor of its thick-cut beef tongue. The dish uses the rarest and most tender part of the beef tongue, the 'tan-moto' (tongue root), of which only a small portion can be obtained from a single tongue. To emphasize its juicy and rich flavor, the beef tongue is cut extra thick. It is first seared at high heat to lock in the juices, then slow-grilled to ensure every bite is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, guaranteed to whet your appetite.
The rice served with the beef tongue is also carefully selected, using seasonal rice varieties chosen by long-established rice merchants and cooked in traditional hagama pots. The resulting rice is distinct, slightly chewy, and a perfect match for the fragrant beef tongue, beautifully highlighting its natural sweetness. The restaurant features 4 counter seats and 42 table seats, offering a bright and spacious environment perfect for both solo diners and groups. Gyutan no Lemon Asakusa is just a 5-minute walk from the Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station, making it a convenient and satisfying choice for travelers looking to enjoy a great meal while sightseeing or shopping in Asakusa!
