【Silver Tower]】Tongue stew & beef stew at a long-established stew specialty restaurant/Ginza

We visited the stew specialty restaurant "Gin no To" located near the Higashi-Ginza Kabuki-za Theater in Higashi-Ginza.
This restaurant is a long-established business founded in 1955 and is well known among those in the know.
The building that used to be a pawn shop before World War II was taken over, and the Showa-style facade is impressive.
Inside the store, the large safe door from those days is still there, giving the store a mysterious and unique atmosphere.
When I was a young man, I was always called to the "Silver Tower" for lunch by the bigwigs at Dentsu, my business partner at the time.
It was also around that time that I learned the taste of tan stew and the immorality of daytime beer.
This time, Coco had the beef stew set with gratin and I had the tan stew, which I always ordered.
Tan stew, which was a hidden menu item back then, was now added to the default menu.
Since then, many people have been asking for tan stew that is not on the menu, so I guess there is no longer any point in having it as a hidden menu item.
I felt nostalgic when I tasted it for the first time in a long time, and I also felt a fresh sense of deliciousness that I had forgotten.
Unlike the rich Western-style stews, it is a unique flavor that can be called a light Japanese stew.
Like the "ma" in Kabuki, there is a depth of flavor that changes when the hot stew is eaten after a little time.
In addition, the modest seasoning and the slightly fragrant octagonal cinnamon-like spices enhance the ingredients.
It is a taste of Japanese gentleness and profundity.
It is a somewhat soothing stew.

こんにちは😊
熱々がお得意なんですね！
ビーフシチューみたいな濃いめの料理は白飯がよく合うので、ご飯🍚がすすみました😆

隠し味に味噌を使ってるので、その焦げた香りが八角の香りに似てるのかもしれないですね。
お野菜は全て別調理してるのでシチューの風味を邪魔しない…手間をかけてますよね。

コメントありがとうございます。
隠し味は味噌なんですね！
独特の風味は隠し味にあったんですね。
確かにお野菜の食感もしっかりしていて、溶け込まずちゃんと共存してるんですよね。
ほんと、癖になる味です。
