Review of Karubi Don at Aburi-EN by atozee

There’s a new plant-based meat in town and it comes in the form of yakiniku by Next Meats. It’s currently being served at Aburi-En and if you’re vegan, and eating amongst carnivores gobbling down bowls of meat doesn’t put you off, then this dish is for you. It has the same light texture of seitan and this being a yakiniku means you will get all that delicious charred goodness. I was pretty happy with my bowl and it was so moreish that I finished it in less than 10 minutes. Plus, the press materials state that by serving, Next Meats has twice the amount of protein than regular meat so I’m there. Aburi-En is a chain that has two dishes serving Next Meats but the other uses egg yolk so that’s more suitable for vegetarians. This is absolutely worth a try.
