About this place
The barley rice and grated yam set meal with beef tongue takes centre stage at Umayayume Town Hakataten. The restaurant’s signature dish features thin-sliced beef tongue grilled over a strong direct flame until fragrant. Choose a 1.5-fold portion or a smaller serving, whether you’re in the mood to savour the beef tongue on its own or pair it with other dishes.
Some diners have commented that the beef tongue was tender, while others mention choosing barley rice. The classic set meal is a natural choice if you want to focus on beef tongue with barley rice and grated yam. For more choice over your rice, the fillet cutlet set meal is served with either plain rice or barley rice. The menu says that a larger serving of rice and refills are free, making it a good option when you want a more substantial meal.
For a set meal that brings together beef tongue and another main, there’s chicken nanban with beef tongue, barley rice and grated yam. The menu pairs chicken nanban made with chicken breast and house-made tartare sauce with the restaurant’s classic grilled beef tongue. One diner writes that they ordered this set and enjoyed it.
There are rice bowls as well as set meals, including a fillet cutlet bowl topped with softly set egg and a shrimp tempura bowl with a mildly sweet sauce. The appeal of dining at Umaya lies in the choices: you can select a set meal, decide which sides and rice to have, and adjust the amount of beef tongue.
