pig out diary

A nice wagyu place that offers pretty good quality beef at a reasonable price, and depending on your choice, you can get really really stuffed.

ラウンドステーキ(黒毛和牛もも肉)ランチ、￥１５００。 すきやき重、￥１２００。
Round steak lunch, Y1500. Runs out really quickly at lunch time(before noon!). Very very delicious the first time I had it, but a bit dry the second time(pic here).
Sukiyaki-ju, Y1200. It’s free at lunch time to “supersize” the meat, which I did the second time(pic here) but eventually regretted because I couldn’t finish it. Luckily I always carry a doggy bag but I think you’re not supposed to take away the leftover XD.

焼肉重、￥１２００。 ステーキ重、￥１２００。
Yakiniku-ju, Y1200. Had this one twice also(see pic).
Steak-ju, Y1200.
The beef for Steak-ju and Yakiniku-ju are the same(both are thigh meat), but the sauce and the side vegetables are different - salty sauce and namul for yakiniku-ju, sweet sauce and salad and fries for steak-ju. I like these two rice boxes, but after having it for 3 times, I’m convinced that they mix in a few slices of drier meat with the fresh and juicy ones to bring up the portion. Still good value though.

やわらかひとくちステーキランチ、￥１５００。和風ハンバーグランチ、￥１２００。
Soft bite-size Steak lunch, Y1500. Not as “soft” as I expected.
Japanese style hamburger lunch, Y1200. Good! Another popular item.

銘柄和牛切落とし、￥２０００。サーロイン鉄板焼き、￥２５００。
Wagyu Kiriotoshi, Y2000.
Sirloin Teppanyaki, Y2500.
The two more expensive special lunches. The meat is of course better quality(Sirloin is especially juicy) but it comes in a hotpan so it gets a bit overcooked towards the end. The second time round, I moved all the meat to my rice bowl to keep warm and just used the hotpan for the beansprouts. ^^;;

ビビンバ御膳、￥１０００。
Bibimbap, Y1000. The only menu that I don’t recommended. Ice-cream only for the ladies on Mondays.

Lunch is only available during weekdays.

Menu: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

I love the weekday lunches offered by this Japanese restaurant near Jimbocho. There are 3 options in the lunch menu: donburi (Y1000), teishoku(Y1200), bento(Y1500). The menu changes every week and I’m always amazed by how creative the menu for the donburi and the teishoku sound. Sometimes I visit this restaurant twice in a week because both the donburi and the teishoku sound so tempting but I’m too embarassed to order both at the same time.

All lunches come with salad, miso soup, pickled vegetables, and dessert. For the teishoku, you get a main dish, plus a small piece of grilled fish, which you can choose from the list of fish available on that day. In general, I like donburi more than teishoku. I only ordered the bento once and while it was not bad, it wasn’t interesting enough to make me order it again.

Among all my visits, obviously there were times when the food wasn’t so fantastic, but for a ~1000yen lunch, I think this place is just great.
