I visited Hitsujiya, a renowned lamb restaurant located in Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture. This rare establishment offers lamb raised on their own farm, and I had been curious about it for a long time.This time, I enjoyed their popular Genghis Khan course. I was amazed from the first bite—there was absolutely no unpleasant odor typical of lamb. The fat was sweet and refreshing, while the lean meat was packed with rich, natural flavor. When grilled rare and enjoyed with salt or sauce, the juices burst in my mouth, creating an unforgettable taste experience.With a picturesque rural landscape before me, fresh vegetables, and exquisite lamb, this place offers a special dining experience worth the trip.The quality is at a level that will change your perception of lamb. I highly recommend it not only for lamb lovers but also for those who may have a slight aversion to it. For those who enjoy alcohol, I suggest visiting in the evening—you'll definitely want to drink! It was a great meal!
