About this place
At Mangetsu, grilled beef tongue and a Dobu Sour make a natural pairing. This Hatagaya restaurant serves beef tongue in several styles, from grilled and boiled tongue to stew.
Diners have remarked on the grilled tongue’s charred flavour and satisfying bite, as well as how well the vegetables beneath it complement the salt seasoning. One review found that even a single serving of sliced tongue was substantial. The signature grilled tongue makes a good starting point, whether enjoyed on its own or as a drinking snack.
The Dobu Sour is described as cloudy sake mixed with soda, and some diners recommend ordering it with the beef tongue. Heartland beer is also on the menu for a change of pace.
For another dish, consider the beef tongue stew. Diners have described it as generously filled with chunks of tongue, and some have added barley rice to eat alongside it. The menu also includes small plates such as tofu with meat miso and grilled spring onion, making it easy to add a few bites while keeping beef tongue at the centre of the meal.
