There are many specialty yakiniku restaurants and most of them follow Korean-style barbecue. You sit around the table in which the grill placed and barbecue the beef on the grill. You can enjoy two different types of beef. One is "rous", which is thin slices of marinated beef and the other is "karubi", short rib of beef slices. You can also eat "tan" (cows' tongue), "rebaa" (liver), "hatsu" (heart) etc. and these are popular among the Japanese. After you order, the waiter/waitress will light your grill. and bring the ingredients on big plates. Place the meat and vegetables on the grill. When they are done, take a piece of them a dip it into sauce offered in a tiny dish and eat. When you eat "tan" and "hatsu", just sprinkle a bit of salt and eat.
