Eat Juicy Teppanyaki Kobe Beef in Tokyo
Misono
Misono has an incredible resume of not only being established in 1945, but being the first in the world to do many things with Kobe beef steak. One thing that took us by surprise was Misono is considered the originator of Teppanyaki! Where the styles are different from that in Japan, Teppanyaki restaurants are now popular all over the world. So when hearing there is the originator of Teppanyaki here Tokyo and knowing how many foreign guests that have eating Kobe beef on their list, we just had to add it to this article.
Back in 1868 Kobe beef became a part of international trade, and from there it was viewed as traditional Japanese food despite Japanese people not being accustomed to eating red meat. But what qualifies beef as Kobe beef, and what makes it so special?!? Well the qualifications of being Kobe beef is surprisingly high. It all starts with tajima-gyu, or Japanese black cattle which is one of the four Japanese breeds known as wagyu. From there the raising process requires a lot of attention to create a stress-free, relaxing environment. Then the grading of the cow depends on the yield and meat quality scores, but only cows having a marbling index of No.6 or higher along with a few other criteria are officially certified as Kobe beef. Now the beef Misono serves is A4 and A5 ranked Japanese black cattle, ensuring that juicy and creamy taste this famous marble beef is known for.
HARAJUKU
Tokyo's Biggest and Best Pizza Straight from Italy
Spontini Harajuku Restaurant
Being a westerner that lives in Japan, finding what we consider good pizza can be really tough. Not to mention pizza that is not ridiculously expensive. But FINALLY!! JAPANKURU found a pizza place that sells cheap, delicious, and massive pizza right here in Harakuju.
Originating from Milan, Italy, pizzeria Spontini has opened its first international store in Tokyo, Japan! Most of the pizza in Japan is made having Neapolitan pizza crust which is known for being thin and crisp. But since Spontini originates from Milan, their crust is thicker with a more chewy yet crispy texture. It somewhat reminded us of Chicago's deep dish pizza crust. So if you like big, meaty pizzas, Spontini is the place for you.
