Butasute's Beef Bowl

We went to a beef meat restaurant 'Butasute' in 'KITTE' building next to the Tokyo Station. It's  famous for Sukiyaki, Shabushabu and beef bowl using beef meat. Having a beef bowl on a Valentine's Day sounds not romantic, rather the image of being loud.

Before we entered the restaurant, we visited the viewing deck of the building. You can see the Tokyo Station which had its 100 year anniversary from there. That viewing deck reminded me of the deck of the One New Change building in London, from where we enjoyed seeing St. Paul's.

The interesting thing was the name of restaurant. 'Buta Sute' means literally 'Dumping Pork', specializing in beef dishes. It means beef in the restaurant is greater than pork.

In old time, a swineherd who was named 'Sutekichi' started a butcher shop business. He was nicknamed 'Buta Sute'. And also it is said that customers dumped pork because beef in the shop was so good.

An English menu is also available, it was helpful for the big mouse. I ordered a beef bowl. Once you taste the beef, you can enjoy the tenderness and the freshness of the meat with special sauce. 

They offer Ise branded beef. The quality of the meat is similar to the high class beef; Kobe Matsuzaka beef. That's why the price is a slightly high, but an acceptable and affordable price considering the quality.
