Meat is one of my favourites and beef is definitely on my top list.
Last time I have tried the Kagoshima beef, and now I just can't let the Akaushi which means red beef escape!
Unfortunately, we were running out of time after travelling to the Aso Mountain. Therefore, not a lot of restaurant were still opened in Aso area. Therefore, we travelled back to Kumamoto station and tried to find bbq restaurants that will sell that!
The one we found close by was inside the Sakura no Kouji (next to the Kumamoto Castle) - please see my last entry for that.
This restaurant is called Asoyamami and it sells very traditional sets of Japanese meals.
The interior of the restaurant is very a traditional wooden one and there are set seats where you have to take off your shoes and kneel to sit.
I ordered this Akaushi Don set - which is simply grilled beef on the top of Japanese rice + tofu soup
This set costed 1600 yen. Yeah it's very expensive. But I think this is because this restaurant is located in the very main tourist area, that's why... If I went back to the shopping street, the price might be lower.
But this beef was very soft and melted inside my mouth! It was medium rare and so you can really taste the juicy beef + a bit of blood. But it was very appetizing and I didn't feel it was enough. (As you see the bowl size isn't big)
As it was nearly the last night of being in Kumamoto, I wanted to eat horse meat one more time ^^ So I ordered this:
You can order separate Akaushi meat! I think it was 1500 yen.
Then you will grill it on a thick metal plate!!
It was really soft and tender that it melts in your mouth! Oh and you don't need any sauce when you eat it!!! Cos it's so delicious as it is already!
My friends also ordered horse meat! It costed 1000yen - a lot cheaper than the Akaushi beef!
The thing I love about grilling it yourself is that you can choose how it is done! Rare to medium rare is my favourite btw!!
The horse meat was cut into very thin layers so it's not tough and easy to chew!
And at the end, they sold this Cremia ice-cream! costed 500yen. Like I said before, this was the best ice-cream I have ever tried in my life that I have eaten it over 4 times in a month! (Basically if I see one, I will buy one ^^)
The cone is a bisuit crepe which is quite sweet but matches the super creamy and milky ice-cream!!! It's too rich to describe but you will feel like you are in heaven!! I swear it's better than Ben and Jerry and haagen-dazs or any other brand!
It's made of 25% Raw cream and it doesn't taste too sweet!
If you are a cream and milk person, you really better should try one!! I hope this is coming to HK soon!!!
