Ginza Hisagi - Review - Ginza - Tokyo - The Infatuation

"Ginza Hisagi serves a black curry that’s rarer than the classic brown version you typically see in Japan. Not only does this one come with seared steak and massive oysters, but the restaurant goes through a meticulous process to get that color. Beef is slowly cooked in red wine for six hours, creating a demi-glace base. Loads of caramelized onions are then added for natural sweetness and depth, followed by a blend of spices for that bold curry taste. The A5 wagyu, so tender you barely have to chew, and hand-sized oysters take the decadence to the next level. They also serve supersized Rockefeller oysters and several tasting courses highlighting other oyster dishes that are worth exploring. Reservations for dinner are essential, but you might have luck walking in for lunch. photo credit: Julio Koshiishi photo credit: Julio Koshiishi photo credit: Julio Koshiishi Pause Unmute" - Kiera Wright-Ruiz
