I tried the Yoshinoya's 'beef tongue roast set', which is thinly sliced beef tongue & tororo rice with rice

The beef tongue product, which is

Yoshinoya 's “phantom menu” that started product development in 2015 and was sold at some stores in 2016, but did not reach nationwide sales, is called “ beef tongue toro gozen”. It will be available in limited quantities from June 18, 2020 (Thursday). I tried to buy and eat immediately what the set was as a result of trial and error so as not to make the 'gyutan' product an illusion.

This time, I made a reservation in advance and decided to take out. When we arrived at Yoshinoya at the pick-up time, the 'Beef tongue Tororo Gozen' banner had begun to be displayed at the store.

The beef tongue roast set that I brought home. Tororo was a separate container.

The three have different amounts of rice, the left is 'small', the upper right is 'normal', and the lower right is 'increased'. The total weight, including the container, was 368 g for 'small', 382 g for 'normal' and 465 g for 'increased'.

Comparing the size of the container with the transportation IC card, it looks like this. The width of the area containing beef tongue is about the same as the long side of the IC card. It is OK to think that it is about the same as the lunch container of a side dish + rice at a general convenience store.

Tororo in another container. At the same timing as 'Beef tongue toro set', 'Tororo beef bowl' and 'Tororo eel Shige', 'Beef plate wheat toro set' and 'Unagi plate wheat toro set' which replaced the beef tongue also appeared, and various You can enjoy the grated yam in combination.

The rice is a mixture of white rice and sticky wheat, and goes well with the grated broth with the flavor of the dashi stock. Even if I increased the amount, I felt hungry without any burden.

Beef tongue is sliced and has plenty of salt and green onion. This is the taste of rice, so when you take a quick look, the amount of rice that you see a lot decreases.

Okra is a skewer that is sliced into slices, and the taste of the ingredients is unique. When it's a takeout, it's better to have soy sauce at hand.

The price is 868 yen including tax. Miso soup comes with the in-store food. It is safer to check the stores that are not sold in advance.
