Akaushi Don Iwasaki 🐮

#newyearnewtrip When in Aso Kumamoto region of Japan, one must indulge in Aso's famous cuisine called Akaushi don. Akaushi don is a rice bowl topped with delicious aso beef, otherwise commonly known akaushi. Akaushi beef is not fatty, and the meat is on the leaner side, thus giving it a tougher meat texture. To get the best Akaushi don, you must visit Iwasaki Restaurant. Here, you get premium cuts of the red meat and a generous portion of it on top of your rice, served with onsen egg. I recommend getting their big portion or special portion, if you are a beef lover as the amount of meat can satisfy all your beef cravings. The meat quality and seasoning at Iwasaki is amazing and delicious. Go early as the queue here gets long. There's also free parking outside the restaurant which is an added perk.
