A new feature called the “Nishinomiya Gourmet Masters” tour started last week.
This time, we visited “もりもと焼肉店,” located near Hanshin Nishinomiya Station.
The restaurant is very close to Ebessan, and apparently it has been operating here for over 50 years.
It doesn’t have the feel of an obviously high-end restaurant, but what kind of place is it?

Food at “もりもと焼肉店”
What makes the meat here special is that it is never frozen in order to preserve freshness, and every cut is sliced only after an order is placed.
First up is the “Tan” (tongue) for 968 yen.
You can choose either “tare” sauce or “salt,” but tongue has to be salt, doesn’t it?
They say no lemon is needed because the meat is fresh and has no unpleasant odor.
One of its features is that it is cut quite thick.
You grill it on this gas stove.
Since the tongue is thick, the trick is not to overcook it. Enjoying it rare in the center lets you fully appreciate the flavor of the tongue.
Of course, beer is a must too.
A draft beer is 611 yen.
Next is this.
The front is “Bara” (short rib) for 1,426 yen, and the back is “Roast” for 1,936 yen.
We had these with tare sauce.
These are also cut thick.
As with the tongue, the key to enjoying them is probably not to overcook them.
This sauce is based on garlic soy sauce.
Salt-grilled meat is great because you can taste the natural flavor of the meat, but this sauce is also outstanding.
If possible, I’d really like you to try both the salt and the tare sauce.
For now, here’s the second beer.
From here, I’m going to try a few more varieties.
“Heart” for 815 yen.
“Liver” for 815 yen.
This is “Tsura” (cheek meat) for 815 yen.
None of these offal cuts have any unpleasant odor at all.
They’re delicious with either tare sauce or salt.
I was honestly surprised by how good every single cut of meat was.
Never freezing the meat must cost more and make purchasing more difficult, but you can really feel their strong commitment to serving delicious meat.
