Yakiniku is one of the great pillars of Japanese cuisine: the practice of grilling succulent cuts of meat over a charcoal fire. The basic elements are almost religious in their simplicity: beautifully marbled and fresh meat, a smoky fire, and some subtle dipping sauces to go along. Oh, and bowlfuls of steaming hot rice on which to baste those hot, meaty drippings.

Here at Tajimaya, the menu is basically page after page of different grades of top-grade meat, though really they are most famous for their offerings of divine Miyazaki Beef offered in a range of cuts from ribeye to chuck short rib. Choose from an à la carte menu or simply get the set, which comes with a generous lineup of sides from crunchy Tempura to a daily selection of Sashimi, as well as a comforting bowl of Garlic Fried Rice. Apart from Miyazaki beef, there is US Wagyu and US Angus, as well as fatty Kurobuta Pork for lovers of that other great barbecue meat. The pork is available in a range of cuts as well, including the unctuous jowl cut, or meltingly tender cheek that will reduce to a fatty sliver of joy in your mouth.

To undercut all of that meaty goodness, other dishes here include Korean-inspired soups like Kimchi Soup and hot-stone Ishiyaki Dons filled with meat and vegetables crackling from the heat of the bowl. To fill up, slurp up some piping hot Udon. With meat this good, you’ll want very little else but rice, but these other options make this restaurant perfect for hitting every corner of that Japanese craving you’ve been nursing. (Jan 2018)
