Han No Daidokoro, known for offering high-quality A5 grade Miyazaki beef and washu beef, just introduced a new tasting menu for $65. The tasting menu is like a sampler of the eatery’s more popular meats — including a few exotic options. It’s available daily during both lunch and dinner, and no end date has been announced yet. It’s only available at the Ward location (not the eatery’s Waikīkī location).
Minimum two orders are required to experience this tasting menu, and no substitutions are allowed.
The first course includes assorted appetizers, including a salad of the day, assorted kimchi and seared washu beef. The seared washu beef is one of my favorite dishes at this eatery — it’s easy to eat and well seasoned, and the onions add some crunchy texture.
Next comes scallion salt marinated washu beef — beef tongue and hanging tender. These are customer faves.
Mixed entrails, or intestines, are not for everyone, but locals are invited to try them in the next course. They feature a chewier texture and might take a little longer to grill.
This adventurous option is followed by tare marinated washu beef — flank steak, bottom flap and kalbi. Kalbi is another customer favorite.
The meal concludes with your choice of soup — seaweed egg drop soup or original spicy soup. The seaweed egg drop soup is comforting and flavorful, while the eatery’s original spicy soup packs some heat.
Of course, if you wanted dessert or other sides, you can still order dishes from the eatery’s a la carte menu. But this tasting menu includes a good amount of meat (without carbs).
