Ajien

Tongue is a natural place to start at Ajien. One diner who is not usually keen on meat says they enjoyed the thin-sliced tongue so much they ate plenty of it; others recommend the thick-sliced version. Another visitor singles out salted tongue and skirt steak, along with heart and beef cheek. There is also a longtime customer who says the lean loin is a favourite. Starting with tongue, diners can explore other cuts to suit their tastes.

For a meal that goes beyond the grilled meat, Korean-style ramen makes a tempting finish. Diners have also said that the chige and stone-pot bibimbap made for a satisfying meal. That leaves room to shape the evening around yakiniku, or to add a final dish after eating. Drinks mentioned by diners include beer, chuhai and Sujin gin soda, to enjoy alongside the grilled meat and side dishes.
