Tokyo Beef Dining is a Japanese-style yakiniku restaurant owned by Ushifuku Restaurant, which opened in 2016. Tokyo Beef Dining has received numerous rave reviews since its opening, and has undoubtedly become the best Japanese restaurant in Chengdu today.
Many diners think that Wagyu beef is beef from Japan, but in fact, Japanese Wagyu beef introduced and bred in some countries is often referred to as "Wagyu". Japanese Wagyu is recognized as one of the best beefs in the world, and Japanese Wagyu beef is very expensive, while Wagyu breeds raised in the United States and Australia are relatively inexpensive. Considering that Japan was once a mad cow disease epidemic area, China began to ban the import of Japanese beef into the country as early as 2002, so almost all "Wagyu" eaten in Chinese mainland are Wagyu breeds from the United States or Australia.
Tokyo Beef Dining specializes in high-end Wagyu beef, and the Wagyu beef served in the store comes from the United States and Australia, and is transported to the store in the cold chain throughout the process. At present, in terms of beef quality in Chengdu, it is difficult to find a second one that can compete with Tokyo Beef Dining. Due to the difference in the classification of beef in the United States and Australia, the in-store menu indicates two different grades: A5 and M9. The grade of beef is graded according to the part, the degree of frosting, color, texture size and fat, etc., and the United States is the same as Japan, which divides beef into five grades: A5, A4, A3, A2, and A1, of which A5 grade Wagyu beef is the top. In Australia, M12-M1 is used to indicate the grade, and the quality of the M9 grade Australian Wagyu beef is already quite good.
In addition to pure beef yakiniku, Tokyo Beef Dining's various beef-related dishes are also worth trying. A5 Beef Sushi is a sushi made from A5 grade raw beef, with fine snowflakes, a tender taste, and no fishy smell, which is enough to give people a sense of satisfaction. Beef suki roast, the beef is first dipped in the sauce for roasting, 5-7 medium cooking is the best, and the roasted beef is dipped in raw egg liquid to eat, which increases the smooth taste of the beef. It is worth mentioning that the eggs supplied in the Tokyo Beef Dining store are all produced by the group's self-operated egg factory, and the hygiene control is all implemented in accordance with Japanese standards.
Tokyo Beef Dining's manager is from Japan and doubles as the face of the store, usually not in the back kitchen, but only helping to serve diners during peak hours. The service in the store is relatively Japanese, and the waiters are gentle and responsive. Tokyo Beef Dining is located on the 8th floor of Isetan Department Store, and the interior of the store is a traditional Japanese style, with shoes to be removed at the door, and there is a shoe closet for customers to put their shoes in. Slippers and clogs are provided at the entrance for guests to enter and exit the room and outdoors. There is no toilet in the restaurant, and diners who need to use the toilet can use the public restroom on the same floor.
