A really nice yoshoku(western food) place in Ochanomizu that I’ve fallen in love with recently. In my first visit when I saw the price on the menu, I thought I would try once, but probably wouldn’t come back because there are so many yoshoku places in this area that are much cheaper. But after the first taste of the curry….I was immediately addicted. I ended up trying almost everything on the menu(Not in one day!) and everything I ordered was good. There is nothing fancy about the food, just basic yoshoku that is perfectly done.
ビーフカレー￥１３６５。マカロニグラタン、￥１５７５。
Beef curry(Y1365). The curry that got me hooked. The sauce is so smooth.

シーフードカレー、￥１４７０。
Seafood curry(1470). All the lunches come with salad and pickled vegetables.
デミカレー、￥１４７０。 トリュフショコラケーキ（自家製アイス添え）、￥５２５。
Demi curry(Y1470). Truffle Chocolat Cake & storemade ice-cream(Y525).
オムライス、￥１５７５。ハヤシライス、￥１５７５。
Omelette Rice(Y1575). Hayashi Rice(Y1575).
Raisin-wich. Souvenir that everybody seems to know about.
All the above were eaten in the first floor cafe where the lunch menu is mainly curry. I then ventured down to the basement restaurant which has a different lunch menu with the main item being hamburger. Basement restaurant is smaller and is a bit more expensive than the first floor cafe. All lunches come with a salad, a small soup, rice or bread, and coffee.
デミグラスソース ハンバーグステーキ（１５０ｇ）、￥１６８０。
Chopped Beef(100% wagyu) Demi-glace Sauce 150g (Y1680). Super delicious! After the curry, I got hooked to the hamburger too…..damn.
カニクリームコロッケ、￥１９９５。
Chinese cabbage and Cauliflower soup. Crabmeat Croquette(Y1995).
和風ソース ハンバーグステーキ、￥１６８０。
Chopped Beef Soy Sauce 150g(Y1680). The soy sauce is a house blend apparently. I spread a bit of wasabi on the hamburger and add the soy sauce….very nice!
季節野菜のハンバーグステーキ、￥１８９０。
Seasonal Chopped Beef 150g(Y1890). It is just the same Chopped Beef Demi-glace Sauce, plus some sauteed seasonal vegetables on the side.
Basically everything is nice. In particular Beef curry and Chopped beef Demi-glace sauce. The service is very friendly. And they give out 200yen discount coupons so well it is not tooooooo bad. Note that Hayashi rice(very good too) is available in both 1st floor and basement and the staff said it is exactly the same thing.
First floor menu here. Basement menu can be found in the homepage.

yum… the truffle chocolate cake looks so gooood~
is it warm chocolate cake?
Ah yes, it is warm and there is melted truffle in the middle. You can also buy the choco cake to take away and heat it at home – cheaper that way~
hey go eat some nice cakes today^^
hope you have a happy day & weekend!
Happy Birthday seat!! Any special plan?
Is the Raisin-wich good? haha the name is funny.
The restaurant seems huge, has 2 floors? the Basement level stuffs definitelly looks more “Gourmet”. The hamburg steak looks yummy.

Thanks~ just the wedding…nothing special this year(busy busy).
The raisin-wich is good but it is not the crispy cookie type but the soft and fresh kind that you need to keep inside the fridge and eat within 1-2 day. Yes it just has 2 floors. I tried almost everything on the first floor menu but only a few from the basement because they are quite expensive…I know the beef stew will definitely be nice but it is like 4000yen!!
Those raisin sandwich cookies are a favorite of mine but I haven’t had one in years……..also, those crab korrokke look amazing.
Your blog makes me drool!
The crab korokke had a soft crust instead of a crispy one which was quite surprising. Of course it was freshly fried and everything.
