Chef Kentaro Henry’s yakiniku restaurant specializes in wagyu beef tongue. Even if you’ve never had beef tongue before, if you love beef, then you absolutely need to try their “legendary” beef tongue course. It’s truly is the stuff of legends, with 3 different cuts cooked to perfection right in front of you to showcase the different textures and flavors.
This particular course was actually better at Nakahara than at my other favorite yakiniku restaurant Yoroniku, which is reflected in the higher price here, though you’re getting a similar experience at both restaurants with a variety of different cuts of the highest grade wagyu cooked in front of you.
If you care more about the meat itself than sides or dessert, then Nakahara is the yakiniku restaurant for you with a more beef-focused 8 course menu. Just make sure to add on their amazing gyukatsu sando!
