In a world filled with countless communities with a vast history of food cultures, Japan always shows up among the upper echelon of places that have managed to perfect the artisanal craft of cooking. In the bustling metropolis of Tokyo, the sheer quality and variety of food that is available here are exceptional. Right in the epicentre of the country, it should be no surprise that some of the country\u2019s best cuisines lie here in the belly. Below, you will find just a handful of places that can take your tastebuds on a euphoric ride, so strap in and get your tummies ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gyukatsu Motomura<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those with a keen eye will notice that the name is very similar to that of tonkatsu or chicken katsu because it is, in fact, a beef version of it. For anyone unfamiliar, katsu is a deep-fried cutlet of meat that uses panko breadcrumbs, and gyukatsu sits above all with its mouthwatering flavours of wagyu beef. While there are a few restaurants that offer this dish, arguably the most popular and one that does it the best is Gyukatsu Motomura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Specialising in only this, the options are limited to a set menu where you can pick between 1, 1.5, or 2 cutlets of meat. This also comes with dipping sauces, grated yam, three small sides, a serving of shredded cabbage, red miso soup, and a bowl of rice, which you can get an extra portion of for free. The highlight of this spot is that you are given a small, hot stone grill that allows you to cook the meat just how you want it, catering to everyone\u2019s needs. The few dipping sauce options compliment the meat greatly, but just a bit of rock salt comes highly recommended as you can taste the pure flavours so deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
