Manager Yun explains! 3 reasons why kimchi eaten with yakiniku is said to be good for the body
When many customers visit a yakiniku restaurant, the first thing they order is the kimchi platter. In fact, there is a wonderful reason for this classic combination, which not only tastes good, but also makes a lot of sense medically and nutritionally. I’ll break down the secret into three points and explain why kimchi is said to be good for you.
1. Improving the intestinal environment and increasing immunity with abundant lactic acid bacteria
Kimchi is one of the world’s leading fermented foods. The “vegetable lactic acid bacteria” produced during the fermentation process have the strong property of easily reaching the intestines alive. This lactic acid bacteria increases the number of good bacteria in the intestines and improves the intestinal environment, so it can not only relieve constipation but also boost immunity. Furthermore, fermentation dramatically increases nutrients such as B vitamins (B1, B2, B12, etc.), vitamin C, and vitamin A. These vitamins are absolutely essential for the body to efficiently absorb and metabolize meat proteins.
2. Capsaicin’s fat burning and metabolism promoting effects
Capsaicin, the spicy ingredient in kimchi, has the ability to stimulate the central nervous system and promote the secretion of adrenaline. This promotes the burning of body fat and activates energy metabolism. “YakinikuFor those who are concerned about the calories when eating kimchi, we recommend that you try kimchi, which contains capsaicin, with your kimchi. In addition, it can have a detox effect by expelling waste products from the body through sweating, and can also be expected to improve blood circulation and reduce sensitivity to cold, so it is a health benefit that is highly recommended, especially for female customers.
3. Promotes digestion and relieves fatigue with the power of dietary fiber and garlic
The main ingredients of kimchi, such as Chinese cabbage, radish, and cucumber, are rich in dietary fiber. Dietary fiber suppresses rapid rises in blood sugar levels and moderates the absorption of cholesterol. In addition, allicin, a component found in garlic and chives that are essential for making kimchi, increases the absorption rate of vitamin B1 many times over when taken with meat (especially pork and other foods containing vitamin B1). This leads to powerful fatigue recovery effects and increased stamina. The true nature of kimchi is its ability to refresh the greasiness of meat while dramatically supporting digestion.
The craftsman’s discernment and handwork shine! Jan’s preparation and commitment to meat
Knowing the benefits of kimchi that is good for the body, we make no compromises when it comes to the meat that is the main ingredient. From here, I, Yun, the store manager, will talk about my expertise in the “connoisseurship” and “hand-cutting” of the highest grade A5 rank Japanese black beef, which I put my heart and soul into every day.JanThe reason why our yakiniku is acclaimed by many customers as “surprisingly tender and juicy!” is because the meat is cut by hand by our craftsmen without the use of any machines. Even if the Kuroge Wagyu beef is of the same A5 rank, the way the marbling (fat) is added and the direction of the fibers in the meat are completely different for each individual. Every morning, I carefully assess the condition of the chunks of meat I purchase with my own eyes, and insert the knife at the optimal angle for the fibers of the meat. By cutting the food in a way that breaks the fibers correctly, it creates a melt-in-your-mouth texture the moment you put it in your mouth without having to use any extra force.
We also carry out thorough “trimming” to remove excess streaks and excess fat that make the meat unpalatable. We take pride in being a specialty store and serve only the best parts that our customers find most delicious, luxuriously arranged on plates.
Enjoy the essence of preparation! Introducing Jan’s carefully selected recommended menu
Carefully prepared every dayJanFrom our menu, we would like to introduce you to our signature dishes that go perfectly with our homemade kimchi, which is full of fermented power, and that you should definitely try.
Signature menu overflowing with special green onions! “Wrapped green onion top tongue”
This is a timeless specialty that ranks number one in our store’s best-selling ranking.“Wrapped green onion top tongue” (2,750 yen)is. We carefully select only the softest part of the rare “tangen,” which can only be taken from a single cow, and cut it thickly. We carefully make slits inside the meat and wrap plenty of fluffy special green onions with refreshing shredded shiso leaves. By slowly steaming it on a wire rack without turning it over, the juicy tongue and sweetness of the green onion create a perfect harmony. When you sandwich the tangy and dry kimchi with the refreshing aftertaste of salted tongue, the flavors of each other become even more appealing.
The finest fat intertwines with white rice! “Large sirloin”
Everyone from the young to the elderly will smile the moment they take a bite.“Large sirloin” (1,320 yen)is. The highest quality A5 rank Japanese black beef sirloin is sliced into large pieces that are beautiful to look at. This dish is grilled in a roaster until just browned on both sides, and then served on top of the special egg rice that comes with the set. This is the ultimate TKG (egg-fried rice) with a special sauce that has a deep sweetness that blends rich egg yolks and several types of fruits, and the refined fat that overflows from the Wagyu beef sirloin intertwines with white rice. After tasting this rich flavor, if you pick up a piece of sour kimchi or kakuteki, your mouth will be refreshed and the next meat will taste even better.
Enjoy grilled A5 wagyu beef! “Men’s short ribs”
For those who want to fully enjoy the original dynamic flavor of meat and high-quality marbling,“Otokojo Kalbi” (2,750 yen)cannot be removed. We purposely prepare the highest grade A5 rank Japanese black beef with fine marbling and offer it to our customers in the form of thick, luxurious chunks of meat. By grilling the surface to a crispy aroma, the sweetness and richness of the rich fat is completely trapped inside, allowing you to enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth texture as the meat juices overflow with every bite. This rich and luxurious short ribs is best matched with well-fermented Chinese cabbage kimchi, which has a perfect balance of sourness and spiciness.
Otsuka’s attachment to the city and Yakiniku Stadium Jan’s goal of being the “best space”
we are thisOtsukaIn the land of “JanSince opening, we have had many wonderful encounters with many customers. As a store manager and as a person, I love Otsuka from the bottom of my heart, where the warmth and vibrancy of the downtown coexist. We named our restaurant “Yakiniku Stadium” because we had a strong desire for all of our customers to experience the excitement, energy, and ultimate emotion of being at the stadium watching an exciting game.
Our restaurant is visited by a variety of customers every day, including office workers who come to build up their stamina after work on weekdays, families with small children who smile around the table on weekends, and couples who use semi-private seating for important anniversaries or dates. The moment when a customer takes a bite of the meat and smiles and says, “Wow, it’s delicious! It brings me back to life!” or when they leave the restaurant and hear someone say, “Yun-san, today was a great preparation, I’ll be back again!” is what motivates me to overcome the rigorous preparation every morning. The store also has spacious tatami seats with sunken kotatsu seats where you can relax and relax, and all the staff are working hard to create a space where you can relax and enjoy your time as if you were at home.
