Situated next to the escalators, you can't miss this high-end restaurant selling premium meats such as the Miyazaki beef. Gyuu means "cow" in Japanese. It is rightfully so that it is the place to go to for premium beef, as well as other meats such as pork and chicken. As the name suggests, the "+" in the name also means that it serves premium beef, higher than the grades you find served in normal restaurants.

Some trivial (found at this website): Miyazaki Beef comes from Japanese Black cattle produced and fattened in
Miyazaki Prefecture and is Grade 4 or above in the meat quality grading
standards set by the Japan Meat Grading Association.
We
made a reservation earlier in the day and got a table right next to the
entrance. The table consists of a grill right in the middle, and it is
equipped with a tablet for browsing through its menu easily and well as
making orders. Each of us were equipped with metal tongs, which is designed to rest on the table, without allowing the part that touches meat to touch the table.
Grills and metal tongs, the essential equipment for grilling your meat.

Since there was an opening special in which the Miyazaki Chopped cubes were going for $23 instead of $28, we ordered that, of course. We also chose the Jo Karubi at a whooping $38 a set, one of the most expensive items in the menu. We love pork too, so we chose the Pork Shoulder set ($13). It was really good so we ordered another pork shoulder set, but we opted for the Shoulder Shio set ($13), which offers the pork shoulders lightly seasoned with some special salt. To balance the meal, we ordered an Eringi Mushroom set ($7). White rice costs $3 a bowl. We ordered some water as well, which the waiter mentioned it was free, but ended up on the bill as $0.50 a cup. ZZzz..

Miyazaki Chopped (cubes) on promotion for $23, which normally costs $28.
Pork Shoulder $13.
Eringi Mushroom $7
The beautiful marbling of the meat is a trademark of high quality beef.
Can't wait to sink our teeth into these.
No seasoning needed. The fats have dissolved into oil, giving the meat a heavenly but not too oily taste.
Itadakimasu!
The tablet makes it very convenient to order the items you need.
The quality of the food, especially the beef, definitely matched their price tags. The succulent beef also need no extra seasoning, nor to be dipped in the sauce provided. However, dapping a tiny bit of salt, which was provided together with the sauce, further enhances the flavour of the meat. The meat was quite tender and as you chew on it, the juice just spread in your mouth, tingling your tongue as you enjoy the whole experience. Since it was such expensive meat, I actually chew it slowly, enjoying every morsel of it.
The Jo Karubi ($38) was definitely the most enjoyable item we ordered. You won't get to enjoy this heavenly taste in cheaper beef you find in normal menus. Every bite releases the fats stored in the very marbling you see in the meat and it mixes really well with the meat itself, giving it the wonderful aroma when it starts to cook on the grill.
The Miyazaki cubes ($23, on promotion) were also quite good as well, but I would choose to pay more to enjoy the Jo Karubi.
Pork-lovers should also go for the Pork Shoulders ($13) and the salted version, Shoulder Shio ($13). These items offer a different taste to the tastebuds, and were very flavourful as well. The salted version offered an even better taste, or you could actually dap the non-salted version with a bit of the salt provided yourself.
The Erinji Mushrooms ($7) were pretty much unneeded. But we tried it anyway.
Overall it was a real treat to our taste buds, and the taste just lingers in your mouth, making you wanting to visit again. Don't expect to fill your stomachs on these since it is more of taste and quality over quantity.
