Mutton Genghis Khan Course JPY 8,800 Rice JPY 275 Non-Alcoholic Beer JPY 660 Since it’s reservation only, I made a booking a month in advance. I was planning to take a taxi from the hotel near Murayama Station, but it would cost around JPY 3,000 to JPY 4,000 one way. Since I was alone this time, I weighed the cost of alcohol against the round trip fare of JPY 7,000 and reluctantly decided to skip the drinks and drive instead. I arrived about 10 minutes before my reservation, but it was quite remote, and I wondered if I was really in the right place. Without a navigation system, I probably wouldn’t have found it. Upon entering, while waiting for my food, I noticed that there were a few other solo diners at other tables, likely because it was a weekday. As for the food, the two appetizers were mini lamb sausage corn dogs and bruschetta. The lamb sausage had no gamey taste and was packed with rich flavor. The homemade grain mustard complemented it well. The bruschetta had a flavor that was hard to describe, but personally, I didn’t find it to my liking. Next came the fried potatoes topped with cheese snow. They didn’t have any standout features, but they were simply delicious. Then came the main dish, Genghis Khan. The staff taught me the following cooking method: 1. Spread lamb fat evenly over the Genghis Khan grill and place it at the top of the grill. 2. Arrange root vegetables around the edge of the grill (as it heats, the fat will drip down, naturally frying the vegetables). 3. Grill the fatty meat. 4. Spread okahijiki (seaweed) and bean sprouts on the grill, then steam the lean meat on top. Following this order, I found that the fatty meat was incredibly delicious, while the lean meat tasted quite similar to the lamb I usually eat. The sweetness of the fat was truly remarkable, ranking among the best I’ve ever had, not just for lamb but for all meats. It was comparable to the deliciousness of wild boar, which I personally consider my number one. On the other hand, I couldn’t really tell much difference with the lean meat. Overall, I had a very enjoyable experience with the delicious lamb, and I believe it was worth the price considering the quality. It was a great meal!
