Speaking of gourmet in Japan,

Speaking of Maguro, you don't wanna miss this place!
Come with us to Kabukicho, Shinjuku 
to enjoy the Tuna Dismantling Show everyday!





Come on!


Kabukicho, Shinjuku
One of the busiest streets in Tokyo!

Just come out from the JR Shinjuku East Exit,
then pass through the buildings, 
you will see the big billboard of "Kabukicho-ichibangai."

Let's see the atmosphere of the restaurant!

Although it is on the basement floor,
it is quite a bright atmosphere than we expected!
Yes!!! The tuna dismantling show is held everyday here!

To enjoy the show to the fullest,
you'd like to choose your favorite seat huh!

#First, the picture above are the open tables and counter seats!
"Maguro shoten"  makes use of its open kitchen design, to show the technique of the staff 
while performing the show!
Of course, it is the direct way to present the deliciousness and freshness of Maguro!
So those seats are the most recommended!


#Half-open seat
for couples or small group of friends.
Have a chat while enjoying the show!

Although you might not directly watch the show from here,
if there are spare seats during the show,
you are okay to switch seats.
How friendly!




# Tatami seat where you can extend your feet.

Those seats are for people who would like to experience the Japanese culture and atmosphere.
Of course, you have to take off your shoes. 
Sitting on the tatami here,
you don't have to bend your legs, 
there is space for you to extend your fee under the table.

Okay!
You might watch the live of the show from TV.





# VIP room

If you invite special guests, a VIP room is recommended!
Of course, you might enjoy the show through the TV. 

Since it is the specialty shop of tuna (maguro),
let's enjoy a variety of Maguro cuisine!
What are they?
Let's see~

# Recommended dish ⑤

Grilled maguro (3 rare parts)

Fish brain, face meat, and throat meat.
Wow!! You can taste all three at once!

1. Fish brain 
Actually, it is the top of the head part!
The most oily part on Maguro.

2.  Face meat
Only two small pieces of a fish. Left and right face. 
It is impossible to buy this specific part of maguro only!
So it is unique to enjoy the taste. 

3. Throat meat 
Actually, the meat behind the throat. 
Only 2 pieces of the size of a thumb. 
Unique texture!





#Freshness is the point!

Supposed the whole maguro is 40 kg weight,

Basically, two staff representatives are in charge of the show!
One is an explainer, to explain the steps of the whole process of the show!
One is to dismantle maguro!





Wow!! How powerful!
There are different ways to dismantle!
Most cases would divide in three pieces and two sides!
For maguro,
the head part will be cut in a bigger piece,
and 5 more parts. 
2 pieces from belly, 2 pieces from the back and the bone!

Do you remember the 3 rare part of maguro are all on the head part!




Can you feel the art of the dismantling show?
Indeed the professional of tine dismantling!
How gorgeous!

The meat of the back is tight and firm.. 
The meat of the abdomen is plump and full of fat!



Oh!!! The legend of Maguro!!!

Otoro and chutoro (Fatty tuna and medium fatty tuna)
Chutoro is usually found near the skin on the back and belly. 
Otoro is the highest level of tuna,
You might find its sweet tenderness!

For real, it you go visiting High class sushi restaurant in Ginza, 
it costs probably 4500 yen or more a piece. 




What a smooth back!
Wait! It is tuna huh, not meat of pork or beef.

Look! How healthy is the color and texture!
You know what? A tuna swim at a speed of 50-80 kilometers in average
and 100-120 km at the highest.

A delicious maguro!
