Ginza Nikuya Tanaka

Ginza Nikuya Tanaka tabelog silver restaurant located in Ginza.

Sartoru Tanaka-san aka BOSS is a famous chef in Japan and has many restaurants across the country. He specializes in wagyu and uses only female, never pregnant Tajima black pure bred cows.

Commercial wagyu cows are usually between 18-24 month old but he gets cows over 42 to 70 plus months which is said to have greater depth of flavour.

This is a wagyu kappo restaurant and his expertise in preparation of wagyu was evident. We had the pleasure of having a 48 month Tajima black cow.

Some of the dishes included corn soup, wagyu beef wrapped in kombu seaweed and sea bass topped with mullet roe, egg plant with fig, wagyu sashimi, abalone with liver sauce and sauce made with abalone extract, wagyu with daikon, summer ayu soup, cold noodles, stir fried wagyu with rice, wagyu beef tongue.

The memories of the dishes imparted a deep sensation of wonder and it was absolutely delicious. My favourite dishes were the Wagyu 48 month chateaubriand, abalone and wagyu tempura.
