moving away from the more popular sirloin or ribeye steak options on the menu, i was not disappointed with my choice of flap and flank steaks (150g each). the meat was served perfectly medium as i’d ordered and was very tender, disintegrating easily as i chewed into it, almost melting in my mouth. i found the flap steak to be slightly more fatty than the flank though both were equally as enjoyable. the meat’s smoky, char-grilled fragrance enhanced its beefy flavour profile. i also enjoyed the fries and mushroom sides.

furthermore, at the end of our meal we were even served complimentary ice cream! which made the whole experience feel even more value-for-money in my opinion. if you visit Bizen, do consider giving these cuts a try! despite being one of the cheapest options on the menu, the taste is definitely not being compromised. also, there is no service charge!!
