“Where’s the best 烧肉 spot in 歌舞伎町店 that never disappoints?” Ask any 烧肉 enthusiast, and one name keeps coming up: 黑5, a famous 烧肉 restaurant in Shinjuku’s 歌舞伎町店 and 池袋.
Among its many popular dishes, there’s one you absolutely must try on your first visit: 黑5’s signature “Otoko-jo 牛五花” 眼肉 Steak.
Premium 眼肉 Core – The King of 烧肉 Cuts
The star of this dish is the very center of the 眼肉: the 眼肉 core (Rib-shin), where marbling is finest and the balance of fat and lean is at its best. Known as the “King of 烧肉 Cuts,” this part delivers exceptional tenderness and flavor.
At 黑5, the 眼肉 core is cut thick—generously thick. Each steak is grilled carefully over 炭火, producing a crust that’s smoky and crisp on the outside while staying juicy and rare inside. Thanks to the far-infrared heat of the 炭火, every bite is packed with flavor and bursts with 和牛 juices.
Truffle Salt & Garlic Chips – The Perfect Finish
Seasoning is kept simple with just salt and pepper. But add a sprinkle of fragrant truffle salt and a few crispy garlic chips, and the flavor reaches perfection. The sweetness of the 和牛 fat and the rich umami of the lean meat are enhanced beautifully—one bite and you’ll understand why this steak leaves such an impression.
This dish is a true expression of craftsmanship: letting the quality of 和牛, expert grilling, and subtle seasoning shine through.
