“Gyutan no Lemon” (address: Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo), a yakiniku restaurant famous for thick-sliced beef tongue, was incorporated as “Gyutan no Lemon Co., Ltd.” on May 1, 2024. Kazuma Hara has been appointed as the representative director and president, and the three directors are Hideomi Imanishi, Takafumi Horie, and Seiji Kawamura, with the aim of expanding the franchise nationwide. Mr. Horie participated in this project because he was strongly attracted to Gyutan no Lemon’s explosive ability to attract customers, with 400 people lining up every day, even though it only has one existing store, and its product appeal. In addition, among the businesses that he has worked on, he has also achieved success in developing food and beverage franchises, so he has the know-how. Mr. Horie’s idea for “Wheat Slave” is a regionally revitalized entertainment bakery that has expanded to 120 stores in the three years since its launch. Since then, we have been preparing to open 156 stores, and we have also expanded to Bangkok, Thailand in April 2024. There are high hopes that this success story will be utilized in “Gyutan no Lemon” as they aim to expand nationwide.
“Gyutan no Lemon” has particularly strong support from overseas tourists, accounting for more than half of the number of customers, and we feel that Gyutan’s ability to attract inbound customers has potential.

When we go out to eat yakiniku, everyone orders “beef tongue, skirt steak, and short ribs.” Skirt steak, short ribs, and steak are grilled to medium-rare, and the pink cross section is appealing when cut, but beef tongue is basically sliced thinly and served with green onion salt, so it’s just like any other cut of meat. I thought that people would be happy if I served it in a bold way, so I opened a shop specializing in thick slices. Everyone is very happy with the taste, which is like an adult’s dream come true, and they are surprised to learn that the beef tongue tastes better because it is thickly sliced. We want as many people as possible to enjoy the deliciousness and carefully selected thick-sliced beef tongue that we have developed through trial and error.

What is the charm of “Beef tongue lemon”? ? What makes us different from other beef tongue providers?
At our restaurant, we are particular about the deliciousness that comes from thickly-sliced beef tongue, with the motto “Thick-sliced beef tongue is delicious.” As a result of this concept and specialization, its uniqueness and deliciousness have spread through word of mouth from visiting customers.
[Image 6: https://prtimes.jp/i/143737/1/resize/d143737-1-05155b339280e10eb64d-0.jpg&s3=143737-1-c7fd29299a1adb60ab47591b8a24caf6-870×652.jpg] The most popular [famous “Kiwami” thick-sliced beef tongue grilled set meal” is made by cutting the rare “tangen” into extremely thick slices and carefully grilling them over charcoal by skilled craftsmen. The reason why the beef tongue is served so that the cut side is visible is because the best pasteurization has been achieved, and the rare and beautiful cross-section whets the appetite and has an impact on the appearance. By cutting thickly like a steak instead of thin slices, you can feel the weight on your chopsticks, and you can feel the soft, supple texture on your teeth, filling your mouth with juicy flavor every time you chew. It spreads to.

The rice that goes well with our beef tongue is blended by a long-established rice shop to suit the four seasons, and then cooked in a hagama pot to bring out the natural sweetness to the fullest. The cooking method, which leaves an exquisite outline, harmonizes with the texture and flavor of the thickly sliced beef tongue, making it the perfect partner.
Once you’ve tried it, it’s so delicious that you’ll want to eat it again, and many of our customers are already repeat customers. The online reservation system we have introduced has been well-received, with people saying it’s convenient because you don’t have to wait in line outside.
