I recently had the chance to try Red Wagyu Donburi at a local restaurant in Kumamoto City, and it was absolutely amazing! The steak was grilled to perfection, medium-rare as I requested, and incredibly tender. The Red Wagyu beef has the perfect balance of lean meat and just enough fat, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience. The rice was a great base, soaking up all the delicious flavors, and the geothermal-boiled egg added a creamy richness that tied everything together. It was a truly satisfying meal, and the flavors lingered long after I finished. Highly recommend for any meat lover visiting Kumamoto – it's worth every bite!
