Gyu-Kaku

Chijmes

I had an amazing dinner last night with T and his family at Gyu Kaku (Chijmes), for an early celebration of T's brother's birthday. Can I just say wow, the wagyu beef was really good *drool* and T and his brother certainly did not hold back when they ordered plate after plate of premium beef parts.

Yes, there was an abundance of beef parts. Last night was my first time eating beef tongue HAHAHA, and what a weird experience that was. I know some people really enjoy eating it.....but honestly don't you wonder who in the right mind discovered that a tongue could even be eaten?? Anyway my verdict: I think it's an acquired taste and the texture is somehow so tongue-like :( or maybe it's just psychological hahaha. But I quite liked it, more than T did anyway!

I would say that I'm quite a fussy eater and I'm quite discerning in my standards, but T is extremely easily satisfied by food. So if he doesn't like the beef tongue.......it must truly be weird hahaha.

Anyway there were loads of other wagyu beef parts, pork belly and chicken that were sooo delicious!!! Also, a shout out to the kimchi soup because WOW it was the best kimchi soup I've ever had!!!! ♥ Sadly, we didn't take any photos because we were sooo hungry we launched ourselves into BBQ-ing and eating as soon as each dish was set down on the table. But I managed to find some photos from food reviews ;) I'll definitely try and post more of my own photos in time to come!

So I'm pretty sure gyu means beef in japanese! Every time my family goes to Japan we HAVE TO eat gyu-don -> beef rice!! Wait a minute.....then doesn't that make wagyu beef.... wa-beef beef? Teehee. Oh well, hoping to visit Japan with T soon :) *fingers crossed* I'll keep you posted ;)
