aomori rice beef. each bite explodes with beefy flavour but there is a certain cleanness to it. cooked to a perfect medium rare, each bite is a juicy umami delight.
the accompanying yama wasabi (mountain wasabi) provided gentle nostril-tingling spiciness to cut through the richness of the steak. surprisingly, it was not as pungent as regular wasabi and could be eaten by itself.
not forgetting the ponzu sauce, basically a citrusy soy sauce that i could dip with anything. 😄
the steak costs $20 per 100 grams and the minimum size is about 250g so it doesn't come cheap. but the flavour is certainly on point 😬
