A Unique Culinary Experience: Shabu-Shabu Beef Tongue

Starting November 4, 2025, the renowned dining establishments "Motsukichi" and "Kyo-kappo Motsukichi" will introduce an exquisite dish known as "Shabu-Shabu Beef Tongue". Utilizing the additive-free dashi from Kyoto's prestigious dashi specialty store, "Uneno," this dish promises a fresh and tasty addition to the culinary world.

The Art of Shabu-Shabu

This innovative offering features expertly sliced high-quality beef tongue, which will tantalize your taste buds as it is swiftly cooked in aromatic dashi. To elevate the experience, the dish is served with Kujo green onions, sudachi citrus, and a special ponzu sauce, bringing out the succulent flavors uniquely found in each part of the beef tongue.

What sets this dish apart is Motsukichi’s unique horizontal slicing technique. Unlike traditional vertical slicing, this method allows you to enjoy the different textures and deliciousness of all parts of the beef tongue—from the tip to the base—in one exquisite cut.

Exploring the Flavors of Kyoto

This new dish pays homage to Kyoto's culinary heritage by harmonizing perfectly with local ingredients. The delicate aroma of Kujo green onions and the smooth texture of Kyoto-grown yam enhance the experience, while the refreshing sourness of sudachi adds a seasonal touch.

Ending on a Delicious Note

To ensure you savor every last bit of flavor, the meal concludes with a delectable "Tororo Zousui" (yam porridge) made from Kyoto-grown yams. This dish provides a warm and creamy finale that allows you to relish the dashi broth to its fullest.
