Pure creamy and melt-in-your-mouth indulgence. And no, we’re not talking about ice cream here. The Gyu Bar brings in one of the rarest wagyu in town — Wa-OH beef from the Kumamoto prefecture on Kyushu Island. If you’re wondering why this matters, imagine this: the super fresh air and pure, pristine waters make the perfect environment for grazing cows. The meat here is also extra-tender, thanks to a special blend of feed given to the animals. At Gyu Bar, you’ll find some surprising cuts as well as the usual ribeye and sirloin fillets. Try the tomo-sankaku (a cut near the bottom round). A considerably rare cut, the glistening meat is juicy and buttery, served with a crusty sear. A little dab of wasabi helps balance out the fattiness of the meat. There’s also shin-tama, which comes from the knuckle, as well as leaner cuts like short plate. Besides beef, Gyu Bar also offers other meats like pork neck or tontoro. (Feb 2019)
