The entire restaurant staff greets the guest saying, “Our guest has arrived” in Japanese, an acknowledgement that is a part of the culture. Gyu – Kaku is a yakiniku restaurant specializing in Japanese barbecue. At first glance, Gyu – Kaku might be mistaken for another American version of a Hibachi restaurant.
Yakiniku, or literally grilled meat, is a must-experience restaurant style in Japan . Unlike steak in Western cuisine, the meat and the offal are cut into bite-sized slices beforehand, and each slice is placed individually on a grill net or hot plate.
The first thing to know about Gyu – Kaku is how to pronounce it (gew-KAH-koo)—but the rest should come pretty naturally. You’ll be escorted to your table, where the hostess will flick the switch on a small gas stove in the center of it.
Here are a few other pointers from Gyu – Kaku : Use the metal tongs to place raw meat on the grill. Do not load the grill up with too many meats at the same time; this increases the risk of a fire. Cook meats that are higher in fat content (such as Toro Beef, Pork, and Horumon) around the edges of the grill.
The biggest difference between Korean barbecue and Japanese barbecue (teppanyaki) is that in Korean barbecue the meats are marinated in sauces before grilling , while in Japanese barbecue they are not. Also, Korean barbecue is usually beef or pork, but seafood and chicken are sometimes used.
Toro Beef also is popular, which is a fattier cut of thinly sliced beef that has a lot of flavor.
In Japanese -style yakiniku, diners usually grill the meat themselves, and then dip the grilled meat in sauce, or for salt-grilled meats, sprinkle some lemon juice over the meat before eating .
Most people agree that teppanyaki was first introduced by Japanese chefs as a grilling style in the U.S. Teppan translates as iron plate, and yaki translates as pan-fried or grilled . Teppanyaki grills are found in many Japanese restaurants as long, flat grills around which guests are seated.
Gyu – Kaku is one of Japan’s most popular yakiniku (Korean barbecue) chains, with locations all across the country. When it opens on April 17, the Akasaka Gyu – Kaku will be the first to offer halal course meals, in accordance with Islamic dietary customs.
From Korean BBQ and shabu shabu to hot pots and fondue, it is as popular as ever to go to a restaurant where the servers bring you the ingredients to cook your own food .
Yakiniku is a Japanese meal of grilled (“yaki”) meat (“niku”), and most often involves diners cooking meat around a grill on a table front of them.
The word barbecue comes from the language of a Caribbean Indian tribe called the Taino. Their word for grilling on a raised wooden grate is barbacoa. The word first appeared in print in a Spanish explorer’s account of the West Indies in 1526, according to Planet Barbecue .
Yakiniku sauce is a mixture of savory and sweet flavors with bold sesame essence that is used to season grilled meats in Japanese cuisine.
