Jingiskan... or Ghengis Khan is a particular way to prepare lamb in Japan.Believed to be the way of the Mongols, they would lay their heavy shields on the burning fire pit and cook what ever meat (and in this case, Lamb) was available.
This restaurant in Shinjuku is pretty famous for such dishes.
Called Darumaya... they specialize in 6 month old lamb meat cooked on a cast iron slotted domed grill.
The meat is tender and slightly gamy. Very tasty and fun to eat. In general, I don't mind the scent of mutton so I would not have had a problem if the meat were a bit more gamy. But this was a great restaurant and I would definitely go back if around the area.
All in all, this was a great stop on a night of eating and hanging with friends.
