Sumitora

For those seeking satisfying grilled meats among the office buildings of Nishi-Gotanda, Sumitora (炭虎) offers an inviting, table-seated yakiniku setting. At lunchtime, the menu features a varied spread of rice-friendly set meals, from the Manpuku set—loaded with three cuts each of loin, skirt steak, and short rib—to an affordable stamina set and stewed beef tendon set. The daytime lineup also accommodates different appetites with choices like the kalbi noodle set, pairing short rib with warm broth, as well as an easy-to-add lunch portion of beef tongue.

Selected Cuts and Offal for an Unhurried Evening

Come evening, prime selections take center stage on the grill, including thick-cut special beef tongue, thick-cut special skirt steak, and premium special short rib. The offal selection also highlights clear differences across various cuts—such as first stomach, small intestine, aorta, and fourth stomach—while an omakase three-item offal platter provides an effortless way to sample when undecided. Side plates include refreshing cucumber kimchi, tomato salad, and tongue sashimi, ideal for lingering over a draft beer or Tora makgeolli.

Whether dropping by for a prompt weekday lunch set or gathering around a table to grill unhurried meats on a weekend night, guests can expect an unpretentious and satisfying meal.
