Our Recommendations

10-second Loin
The “10-second Loin,” Tsurumatsu’s signature dish, is characterized by its superb meat quality, which, as the name suggests, can be enjoyed after only grilling it on both sides for 10 seconds. The balance of finely marbled and lean meat is exquisite, and it melts on your tongue from the very moment you put it in your mouth.

Tokusen Karubi
You can’t miss out on the Tokusen (Specially Selected) Karubi. It is thickly sliced but tender, and the more you chew it, the more the meat’s flavor spreads in your mouth. The fat and lean meat are well balanced with each other, and it is a dish that will introduce you to true yakiniku ecstasy.

Salted Tongue
The thickly sliced and juicy beef tongue is served simply with salt, letting you the true flavor of the meat. We recommend grilling it so that it is crispy on the outside, but still rare on the inside.

Yukke Bibimbap
The yukke bibimbap, made with fresh beef, is also a popular menu item. The colorful vegetables and special gochujang (red pepper paste) are a perfect match for each other, making it an excellent palate cleanser between meats.

Lunch Menu
Weekday lunch set meals are also not to be missed. The reasonably priced sets are not just recommended for first-time visitors, but also for those who want to enjoy Tsurumatsu’s careful selection of meats. The limited-selection “Special Lunch” is especially popular right now, so be sure to grab it while it’s still available!
