Posting yet another throwback from our Japan trip. This Hida Beef Sushi Set C (¥1000, 2020 price) is a trio of hida beef served on a rice cracker

🍣 Salt Hida Beef - the best among the three for me. The salt enhances the flavor of the beef
🍣 Soy Ginger Hida Beef - not my preference as the ginger taste is a bit stronger than that of the beef
🍣 Gunkan Hida Beef - served within seaweed and has fresh egg on top, is new for me but really enjoyable. The yolk enveloping the beef upon the bite makes it creamy

Beef is served medium rare. Though I was expecting the meat to be more fatty (since it’s hida), I find it pleasing to have it on the leaner side for these three preparations. The meat still melts in the mouth. Really good.

Highly recommend to try this out when you are in Takayama. This can easily be spotted from Sanmachi street with the long queue - though it might seem to be touristy, the store lives up to the hype 😁
