Jingisukan TORICO

At Jingisukan TORICO, thick-cut Icelandic lamb is grilled alongside vegetables, with different cuts and ways of eating to explore. The Rare Icelandic Lamb Set comes with bean sprouts, onion, Chinese chives and other vegetables. The menu describes the lamb as having sweet, rich fat and flavourful lean meat, with the vegetables making for an easy-going meal. One diner who ordered the set praised the lamb’s tenderness and said its flavour came through even when grilled with vegetables. Others who prefer fattier jingisukan may find the leaner meat less satisfying. It is a good option when you are after the taste of lean lamb and a lighter meal rather than a rich, fatty one.

For a starter before grilling, consider the limited-quantity Lamb Tataki. Thinly sliced lamb is briefly seared on the grill and served with grated daikon and ponzu. One visitor enjoyed it with a lemon sour. It offers a refreshing change from jingisukan cooked at the table. For a more substantial cut, there is also rump from Australia. The menu highlights its deep lean-meat flavour and refined sweetness, and one diner singled out the lamb rump as a favourite. Ordering it alongside the thick-cut Icelandic lamb is a chance to compare their different qualities.

For a meal with friends, courses bring together appetisers, a vegetable platter, lamb and rump, seasoned loin, sausages and more. Choose between a course featuring 4 types of meat and one with 6 types, which also includes lamb chops; plans with free-flow drinks are available too. With those plans, draft beer is limited to 1 glass at the toast. Other choices include highballs, sours, wine and soft drinks. The courses continue from the meat and vegetables to zaru ramen and a cheese ice cream with nuts and fruit. Some plans require booking by the day before, so check the details when making your reservation.
