Tengu

A good place to start at Tengu is the premium salted tongue, a dish mentioned in customer reviews. One diner recalled its rich, fatty flavour; the menu lists salted premium tongue at ¥1,800. Skirt steak, loin and short rib are also recommended, making it easy to put tongue centre stage while adding other cuts.

For offal, options include premium tripe, red offal and a crunchy cartilage cut called urute. One diner said the tangy sauce went particularly well with raw beef omasum, while another enjoyed the sauce and charcoal-grilled meat with rice. Cooking over charcoal on a shichirin is part of the meal’s character.

For a break between bites of meat, try the cucumber nukazuke—vegetables pickled in rice bran—which reviewers praised. To finish, you could have the spicy soup on its own or choose spicy ramen; the menu also notes that udon is available. One diner found the soup pleasantly mild and especially recommendable, while another added leftover rice for a gukbap-style finish. With soup and rice dishes on offer, there are several ways to round out the meal.

Beer and other alcoholic drinks are available to enjoy alongside the yakiniku. Dine-in service and reservations are available, and the listing recommends booking for dinner.
