New York Yakiniku Futago ๐
Is Yakiniku Futago in Soho, known as the โHermรจs of Wagyu,โ really worth the splurge? ๐ธ ๐ Address: 37 W 17th St, New York ๐ฅ The courtyard private room where Jay Chou once sat (same as in photo 4) is the prime spot! ๐ก The ultimate ritual: Staff grill at your table, giving you that authentic Tokyo vibe. Itโs like being transported to Japan! ๐ The A5 Wagyu set is best enjoyed by following the traditional Japanese serving order. Trust the menu and savor each dish step by step. Appetizers ๐ฒ Dashidare Yaki A5 Wagyu sirloin soaked in bonito broth + red rice vinegar, grilled for just 3 seconds and wrapped with spring onions! The tangy soup brings out the creamy richness of the beef, making for a refreshing start thatโs not greasy at all. ๐ฒ ๐ฑ Zensai All Stars (Seasonal Appetizer Platter) A chefโs surprise box of 7 small dishes. The marinated shrimp was gone as soon as it arrived, and the potato salad with caviar was also a standout. ๐ฃ ๐ฅฉ Niku Uni (Wagyu Uni Roll) A5 shoulder eye meat + Hokkaido sea urchin! Staff use a blowtorch at your table to grill the Wagyu, then roll it with the cool sea urchinโa heavenly combination of hot and cold thatโs simply divine. ๐ Steamed Wagyu Seiro A lighter option, this dish features A5 sirloin steamed in a bamboo basket with bok choy and enoki mushrooms, all topped with gold leaf. The meat is as tender as tofu, and the broth is so flavorful youโll want to lick the spoon. ๐ฒ #NewYork #WagyuLovers #FineDiningExperience ๐๐
