The star at Tokyo Niku Shabu-Ya is Tajimaguro, a rare brand of Tajima beef raised by Ueda Chikusan. Cuts such as sirloin, ribeye, and aitchbone are gently dipped into dashi prepared by cold-brewing kelp in natural spring water. Renowned for its low melting point, the fat dissolves smoothly across the palate without feeling heavy. Diners can experience different flavor profiles with aged ponzu, homemade sesame sauce, and salt. The dining experience changes with each dish, featuring tender beef tongue shabu-shabu, bamboo charcoal-crusted beef cutlets, and sukiyaki paired with rich eggs. Finishing touches are just as meticulous, featuring a rich soup simmered solely from oxtail and spiced curry made from this broth base. At the 12-seat single-slab wooden counter, the owner and staff carefully present each cut and explain the best ways to enjoy it, and guests can also pair their meal with rare sake served in their choice of sake vessels. Tucked away just beyond the bustle of Shin-Okubo, it is a hideaway well-suited for a special treat.
