七厘＠三ノ輪

A rather local yakiniku restaurant recommended by a friend who is living nearby and is sort of a regular. We got to order stuff that are not on the menu(e.g. cow tongue sashimi and beef sashimi), and enjoy an incredible omakase course which allowed us to try almost everything on the menu. It is however an impossible task to translate the menu...in fact I can't even match the name with the right picture cos they all look the same. ^^;; Basically we tried various parts of cow, both the meat and the horumon.

キムチ盛り合わせ。牛アキレス腱ポン酢。にんにく焼き。
Assorted kimchi. Achilles tendon in ponzu. Grilled garlic.

センマイ刺し。レバー刺し。
Cow stomach sashimi. Liver sashimi.

牛タン刺し。牛刺し。
Cow tongue sashimi. Beef sashimi.

幻のタン塩(ゲタ)。
From here, the meat are to be grilled. The pic on the left is some fancy cow tongue. The rest...sorry, don't really remember.

The umeshu here is very nice with a variety of choices - nihonshu based, shochu based, white wine based, red wine based, and house blend. I like the house blend and nihonshu based of umeshu the most. The one in the picture is just nihonshu.

シビレ。
My favourite horumon "shibire", it tastes like foie gras~ Takes a while to grill until it is smooth and creamy.

The steak is nice too. The waitor cut it into pieces for us. But I prefer the fatty thin slices of beef which are just much more juicy.

We had some additional orders which I didn't take pictures of...btw, there were 5 of us, 4 girls and 1 guy. ^^;;;

ユッケ。豚トロ。
Yukke - Korean version of Steak Tartare. Tontoro - fatty pork.

Horumon also, forgot name. Hard and chewy texture.

On the right is Kimchi fried rice.

The usual stomach-filling carbs(though we were already very full...): Korean beef soup rice, chilled buckwheat noodles, and ramen in a hot stone bowl. I think we paid about 12,000yen each. Considering how much we ate and drank, and how amazing the quality of the meat was, not a bad deal.
My friend actually remembered the menu in Japanese and kindly sent it to me, so I just copied here.
