Savor Kumamoto’s Local Sake and Beef Tongue Dishes! A Comprehensive Look at the Charms of “Batan Gyutan Shimo-dori Branch”

Hello, this is Battan Gyutan Shimodori.
It’s that time of year when the summer weather makes us feel more relaxed and carefree, both mentally and physically. At our restaurant, we offer you a soothing experience through delicious beef tongue dishes made with Kumamoto’s bountiful ingredients and local sake. In this article, we’ll give you a full introduction to what makes our restaurant so special.

~A moment of pure bliss with Kumamoto’s fine wines and beef tongue dishes~

Located in Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City, our restaurant offers guests the opportunity to fully enjoy Kumamoto’s local sake and our signature beef tongue dishes. Kumamoto is home to as many as 40 sake breweries, and we offer a carefully curated selection of sake, shochu, and even wine from among them.

It’s not just seasonal local sake that pairs well with beef tongue dishes. For example, we offer a wide variety of traditional Kumamoto appetizers, such as raw horse meat yukhoe and “Hitoji Guruguru.” We also highly recommend trying our tender braised local octopus and Aso takana rice.

~A Luxurious Experience Featuring Carefully Selected Beef Tongue and Premium Sake~

Our restaurant takes pride in its beef tongue dishes, which are prepared with care using carefully selected ingredients. In particular, our signature grilled beef tongue is a masterpiece—the tender, flavorful cuts are carefully grilled to perfection. We also offer hearty rice bowl options, such as the thick-cut beef tongue bowl and the charcoal-grilled Akaushi and beef tongue combo bowl.

In addition, we offer dishes that let you savor the natural flavor of the ingredients—precisely because they’re simple—such as beef tongue sashimi and a beef tongue tasting menu. We also offer a variety of luxurious set menus perfect for special occasions. The “Classic! Three Famous Beef Tongue Specialties Course” combines delicious food with all-you-can-drink beverages, making it ideal for banquets and celebrations.

Other meat dishes, such as horse sashimi and Wagyu Akaushi thigh meat, are sure to taste even better when paired with alcohol.

We are committed to ensuring your satisfaction and meeting the needs of each and every guest. In our calm, traditional Japanese-style setting, we invite you to leave the hustle and bustle of daily life behind and enjoy a special moment. Our entire staff sincerely looks forward to welcoming you. We hope you’ll enjoy a relaxing experience with Kumamoto’s fine sake and delicious beef tongue dishes.
