A New Summer Delight: Beef Karubi Tsukemen

As temperatures rise, the craving for refreshing yet flavorful dishes also increases. Starting June 11, 2026, Nakayama Tofu Shop, operated by Tobira Dining, will launch a limited-time summer special: Beef Karubi Tsukemen. This unique dish combines tender grilled beef short ribs with a rich dipping sauce that promises to be a hit among food enthusiasts.

The Perfect Mix of Flavors

The Beef Karubi Tsukemen features perfectly grilled beef short ribs served with a specially crafted dipping sauce that is aromatic and packed with umami. The sauce is enhanced with fish powder, adding an exciting layer of flavor that keeps your taste buds engaged until the last bite. Accompanying the dish is a refreshing side of crispy namul, which helps cleanse the palate, ensuring that every mouthful is enjoyable and never monotonous.

The dipping sauce beautifully complements the beef's juiciness, creating a mouthwatering combination that's too hard to resist. This is not just a meal; it’s a culinary experience that offers satisfaction and a hint of spice, making it a must-try for this summer season.

A Closer Look at Sugendubu

At Nakayama Tofu Shop, the essence of sun-dubu (Korean soft tofu stew) is captured in every dish. The restaurant prides itself on crafting its unique sun-dubu soup daily, made from a blend of chili pepper as a base, along with beef, pork, chicken, and the depth of flavor from fish sauce. Ginger and garlic add a touch of aromatic warmth. Each pot is filled with a rich, flavorful broth that serves as the perfect companion to their hand-made tofu.

Speaking of which, the shop uses only domestically-produced soybeans, specifically the “Toyomasari” variety, which is renowned for its sweetness and rich flavor. The soft tofu, made fresh every day, truly elevates the dining experience, showcasing the finer qualities of this highest-grade soybean.

Pricing Details

The Beef Karubi Tsukemen is priced at 1,130 yen (including tax: 1,243 yen). This pricing reflects the high quality of its ingredients and the meticulous preparation that goes into each dish.

In addition to the new Tsukemen, Nakayama Tofu Shop has a range of menu items that showcase the versatility and flavor of Korean cuisine, including various forms of sun-dubu that suitable for any meal of the day.
