💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Nakano-style' dipping sauce to balance the earthy flavor of the tripe with a hint of sweetness.
- Ask for extra garlic salt on your plate before ordering, as it is essential for enhancing the meat's texture.
- Save room for grilled scallops or squid if available, which pair perfectly with the beef tripe.
