As the summer sun brightens our days, Nikuno Yamagyu is excited to introduce a delightful new menu item: the "Summer Colorful Basil Cold Noodles." This dish promises to enhance the experience of their signature grilled meat rice bowl, known for its freshly cut and grilled meats.
Located in Shibuya, Tokyo, Nikuno Yamagyu takes pride in delivering top-notch food experiences by focusing on cutting and grilling meats at the moment of service. Their popular "Karubi Yakiniku Don" showcases a variety of fresh, grilled meats served over rice. Now, to elevate the enjoyment of these dishes during the sweltering summer, they have crafted a cold noodle dish that pairs exceptionally well with the savory flavors of grilled meat.
A Refreshing Bowl to Beat the Heat
The "Colorful Basil Cold Noodles" encapsulate the freshness of summertime flavors, making it an ideal choice on a hot day. Loaded with aromatic basil and topped with juicy tomatoes for added vibrancy, this noodle dish offers a zingy punch with garlic and crunchy roasted nuts. A squeeze of lemon adds a refreshing twist that balances the rich flavors of the grilled meats.
The cold noodles, made from Nikuno Yamagyu's special handmade noodles, are served chilled and paired with a unique sauce that merges Japanese and Western tastes harmoniously. This dish provides an exhilarating combination of aroma, texture, and acidity that sets it apart from your typical cold noodles.
The Inspiring Journey of Its Creation
At Nikuno Yamagyu, they strive to provide only the freshest meat, as they procure blocks of meat daily and slice it fresh according to the day’s needs.
