This was a weekday.The night before Meat Day, and I was really looking forward to this yakiniku!A regular customer invited me, and it had been six months since my last visit to Sumibi Yakiniku Horumon Sawaishi.When I arrived at Musashi-Shinjo Station, there was a smoky smell in the air.I thought it might be a fire, but it turned out to be smoke from grilled yakitori at a festival.I made my way through the crowd to the restaurant.This time, we had a party of six for the yakiniku gathering.The owner, Mr. Sawaishi, grilled for us.I was so grateful!Here’s what we had, in the order it was served:Drinks:- 3 cups of Oolong tea1. Napa cabbage kimchi and kaktugi2. Tracheal cartilage sashimi3. Omasum sashimiThe sashimi was delicious, thanks to the careful preparation.My expectations were rising!4. Assorted beef tongue and outside skirtWhen the meat arrived, cheers erupted.An impressive amount for six people!!! (ΦΘΦ;)It already looked delicious!We started with thick cuts of beef tongue, grilled in two batches.The crispy texture and the juicy, flavorful fat were amazing!Then came the outside skirt.The cuts were generous and enormous.It was like a comic book portion on rice! (laughs)The grilling was perfect, keeping the juices inside, and when I bit into it, the flavor burst out.I enjoyed it with spice salt and garlic soy sauce.I savored the last bite, reluctant to finish it! (laughs)5. LiverSo beautiful...The veins were carefully removed, making it incredibly smooth.It was sweet, oh so sweet.6. Oi KimchiA palate cleanser.7.
