You Can Tell by the Accompaniments, Even If the Dish Names Are Similar

Korean Kitchen ZEN Tennoji offers two exclusive Wagyu course menu items: 'Kuroge Wagyu Yaki Shabu Loin' and 'Kuroge Wagyu Yaki Suki Loin.' Since their names are similar, it can be confusing for first-time customers. However, you can easily distinguish them by checking the listed accompaniments.

Kuroge Wagyu Yaki Shabu Loin: Comes with sesame sauce and ponzu.
Kuroge Wagyu Yaki Suki Loin: Comes with egg.

Specific Points to Check When Ordering

Before ordering, check the accompaniments section on the menu. The Yaki Shabu Loin is served with 'sesame sauce' and 'ponzu,' while the Yaki Suki Loin comes with 'egg.' Use this as your reference to clearly communicate your choice to the staff and avoid mix-ups.

Set with sesame sauce and ponzu = Yaki Shabu Loin
Set with egg = Yaki Suki Loin

Example Scenario: How to Confirm When Ordering

For example, if you want to order the 'Kuroge Wagyu Yaki Shabu Loin,' check if sesame sauce and ponzu are included as accompaniments. If you see 'egg' instead, that's the Yaki Suki Loin. Conversely, if you want a sukiyaki-style flavor or to dip in egg, choose the Yaki Suki Loin with egg.

When ordering, say 'Yaki Shabu Loin with sesame sauce and ponzu, please.'
Clearly specify 'Yaki Suki Loin with egg, please.'

Note: Difference from Cooking Style Selection Rules

Although the names include 'Yaki Shabu' and 'Yaki Suki,' these dishes are unrelated to the cooking style selection rules (choosing from yakiniku, shabu-shabu, or sukiyaki) offered at regular ZEN yakiniku locations. Korean Kitchen ZEN Tennoji does not provide a cooking style selection service.

Yaki Shabu Loin and Yaki Suki Loin are distinguished by dish name and accompaniments.
Details such as cooking method, seasoning, allergens, or portion size are not disclosed beyond what is listed on the menu.
