A chilled beef-grilling experience awaits

Everybody's tastes are different, especially when it comes to cooking meat. Some people, for instance, like their steak blue and "bloody", while others may prefer to cremate them to within an inch of becoming charcoal. Therefore, for mixed groups, Asian cooking styles like Chinese hotpots and Korean barbecues are great, allowing diners to prepare their food just the way they like it.

However, some styles of cooking, to be properly enjoyed, require rules - which is something Japanese chef Shioyama Shinpei is advocating at his newest restaurant, Gyu Tetsu.

Located in the Maizidian area of Beijing, it's a Japanese-style barbecue beef restaurant with an izakaya, a type of informal pub.
