Reviewers single out Gen-Chan's beef tongue as especially delicious. The tongue is sliced thin enough to cook quickly (30 seconds per side), but thick enough to have texture. Served with salt, it highlights the clean, tender taste of the tongue. Ask for the thick-cut (special order).
Kalbi (karubi in Japanese) comes from the abdominal meat between the ribs. It's one of the most popular yakiniku cuts due to its marbling and rich flavor. Grill until the edges curl slightly, then flip. The fat renders and creates a sweet, savory taste. One of Gen-Chan's signature cuts.
Wagyu loin is the premium cut. A4-grade means high marbling throughout. The fat is creamy and melts on the tongue. Grill briefly (1-2 minutes) to preserve the tender texture. This is the splurge cut.
Sakura yukke (literally 'cherry meat salad' because of its color) is a Japanese delicacy. The horse meat is finely sliced and tossed with sesame oil, soy, and ginger. It's a refreshing, raw dish to balance the grilled items. Not for everyone, but worth trying once.
Horumon (offal) is an acquired taste but beloved by yakiniku enthusiasts. The variety ensures different textures: intestines are chewy, liver is tender, heart is firm. Grill until lightly charred. Served with a tangy sauce or salt. Part of the all-you-can-eat.
