Namba “ Gin ”

I received an invitation to attend the opening reception of “Niku Kappo -Gin-,” to open on April 15th 2015 on the 10th floor of Namba Hips, in Namba.
This is a restaurant where you can leisurely enjoy a course meal of “Ozaki beef,” the finest brand of Miyazaki beef, in a luxurious private room!
Today, I had their “Kikyo” course meal (7,500 JPY,) a reasonable priced course meal that includes 7 dishes, from appetizer to dessert!
“Daily Assorted Appetizer Platter (3 types)”
The assorted platter includes Ozaki beef stew with baguette bread, scallop and rape blossoms with “kimisu” (egg yolk vinegar dressing,) and Ozaki beef broiled sushi!

The meat is wonderfully tasty and it melts within the mouth in the blink of an eye, leaving a delicious aftertaste!

“Ozaki Beef Shigureni – Served on Rice Hitsumabushi Style-”
(“Shigureni” consists in boiling the meat with soy sauce and sugar for a sweet and salty taste, with added ginger)
This is eaten first without adding anything, and once you are halfway through, you add some soup to eat the rest…

(ﾟДﾟ)Yummy!(ﾟДﾟ)Yummy!

So incredibly tasty!
The taste is really sumptuous and full of the flavor of the meat!

To finish off, I had an assorted platter of sweets and some coffee, which made me end up full and very, very, very satisfied!!

The restaurant offers an outstanding calm and relaxed atmosphere, as all the guest seats are arranged into luxurious private rooms!
The grand opening of this amazing restaurant where you can enjoy Ozaki beef, the best Kuroge Wagyu brand beef of Miyazaki, to your heart’s content, is coming up on April 15th 2015!
