Tokyo’s adventurous gourmands flock to this innovative shrine to all things ovine, located just a few minutes’ walk from Azabu-Juban Station. Sunrise lets you compare the flavours of lamb sourced from several different countries, including Japan – a true rarity, as domestic fare accounts for only about one percent of the total lamb and mutton market.
None of the meat served to customers is frozen during handling, making sure that only the most umami-rich cuts end up on your plate. Domestic lamb options start from ¥1,900 and include offal dishes, curry and lightly flambéed tartare, while Australian imports can be had from ¥1,080. Grab a seat at the counter to admire the handiwork of the resident grill masters.
