[Tokyo] A variety of meat at Gracia (食堂酒場 グラシア) in Asakusabashi

I know there’s a popular restaurant named Gracia (食堂酒場 グラシア) in Asakusabashi that is posted by my acquaintance on Facebook so frequently and I had wanted to go there for a long time. Fortunately another friend asked me to go there with her the other day. So we went to there. We didn’t take a reservation and got to the restaurant at 4 p.m. sharp.

Though the menu don’t have words “chef’s choice”, “course” and “set”, the chef said he arrange our meals within our budget and tastes. I put prices besides those name, but the chef arrange those sizes for four people and some of foods were not on the menu. So, it’s just for reference. It cost me near 6000 yen in all. The restaurant is small and have only a counter table and one table there.

At first, we toasted with drinks !

And vegetables were served. Fresh vegetables. We heaved our breast in expectation.

Gracia serve a variety of delicious meat. At first, Wagyu nikomi was served. Though it looks so fatty, the top quality of Wagyu beef’s fat was light and sweet. We drunk the soup up with spoon 🙂

Marinated Jiyou-dori Chickens’ white meat with miso. Marinated with miso. It had springy texture and was tasty. It’ll go with Japanese sake !

Cream cheese with dried katsuobushi flakes. Katsuobushi is dried bonito. Cream cheese unexpectedly went with bonito flakes well. Such a refreshing tastes between meats enabled us eating much meats 🙂

Roasted Sendai beef marbled short rib at low temperature

Pickled daikon radish with mustard. It was tasty. It’s spicy just a little.

Oysters and olive. And the chef gave it to us in special. We were four, but there were two oysters only. Ladies (containing me) could get it. I was lucky 🙂

Marinated chuck flap with Haccho miso. Strong tastes of Hatcho must be gone with rice. So, I wanted to have rice..

Spicy cod innards. That’s my delight. I needed rice all the same.

Pork steak. This is their specialty ! Yokkaichi pork steak. Needless to say, this was great ! Thick pork, sweet sauce and cabbage. There’s exquisite balance.

And I ordered second drink. Obuse Winery in Nagano make Japanese sake only once in a year. This is the sake ! Not wine 🙂

And that day’s entree appeared ! A5 grade of Miyazaki black beef fillet steak.

Medium rare ! Needless to say, it’s great !

Sauted Shinsyu shimeji, hiratake and maitake with garlic butter. Natural grown mushrooms. Those mushrooms were huge. Juicy and tasty.

After we ate those mushrooms and saw leftover soup. We all agreed that we need breads to soak in and ordered some pieces of breads. After a while , bread was served and we were surprised. This is bread of great bakery in Asakusa. We know perican’s bread can be bought unless we have reservation in advance or wait for a long long hours in line. Oh my.

And he chef said “this is the end of the course”. So, we ordered ramen and curry. Our acquaintance recommended us to eat ramen and curry if it is on the menus however full we might be. So we ordered both. This is keema curry with Sendai beef.

Ramen with mussels. Mussels from Mie prefecture. It’s shoyu ramen having chicken broth. I was so impressed by the ramen ! Everyone wanted second helping, but they didn’t have.

When we ordered curry and ramen, we intended to finish our dinner, but we could still eat something. So, we ordered another two dishes. Pork hanging tender.

Root of beef tongue with salt

And one of my friend wanted to eat also dessert, so we ordered it. Honey croissant with Shinsyu apple and vanilla ice cream. Dessert was good, too.

As a whole, everything was delicious and we decided to visit there again soon.
