Ozaki Yukitaka’s menu has only one option, the set course (¥12,000, excluding tax), which features various cuts of Ozaki beef along with top quality Pacific bluefin tuna. This sought-after beef comes from cows reared by Muneharu Ozaki on his Miyazaki prefecture farm, which releases a limited number of cows into the market each year. It is characterised by a rich, intense taste while still being lean.
The set meal features 12 to 13 dishes prepared with fresh seasonal ingredients sourced from Tsukiji every morning. Be sure to save space for the final course: a bowl of white rice mixed with raw egg that’s far more delicious than it sounds.
You can look forward to Ozaki beef and Pacific bluefin tuna sushi. The tuna is sourced from different areas depending on the season and is served with a special kind of sushi rice known as ‘aka-shari’, which has a slightly reddish colour and is said to go well with foods with a high fat content.
Your Ozaki beef dish is grilled on a steel hot plate (teppanyaki) and served with potato salad and boiled leek in a bonito-flavoured soy sauce. The beef comes without any seasoning, so try adding sea salt and horseradish sauce to enhance the flavour.
