Fukuoka City, Hakata-ku, Sumiyoshi 3-chome area - 10 minutes walk from Subway Nanakuma Line "Watanabe-dori Station"! 12 minutes walk from Hakata Station "Hakata Exit"! This place, "Buta Steak Toichi", is known as the restaurant that popularized "pork steak" in Fukuoka. The main store is located in "Hakata Station South" and has branches in "Akasaka" and "Ropponmatsu"! All the stores have a distinctive logo of a pig on the wall or white noren curtains, as there is no store name at the entrance. The exterior and interior have a chic design, and the "Sumiyoshi store" has a harmonious and calm atmosphere with a blend of Japanese style. The interior may feel narrow, but it is laid out with tables and a counter. Looking at the menu, there were options for "pork steak" and "beef tongue steak", but the "beef tongue" had a white tape on it, indicating only one choice of "pork steak". I tried the "pork steak". First, a "watercress salad" was served with thinly sliced tomatoes and pineapples, which seemed to take care of the digestive enzymes after eating the pork. It's nice for those who care about their body! The "pork steak set meal" comes with salad and miso soup, and rice and miso soup can be refilled - for those with a big appetite, you can add extra meat, following the "Hakata style"! While waiting, the sizzling hot "skillet on onions" with a glimpse of red meat in a "medium rare" state, the pork steak was brought in. It looked beautiful! A visually appealing dish that stimulates the appetite. I took a bite of the center, which was the rarest part. Oh, I see, it's a healthy pork with less fat! Great for dieting and building muscle! Personally, I would like to eat a thick pork loin steak, not beef tongue. Please consider it as a premium menu (laughs). A recommended way to eat is to try the following steps for those who are visiting for the first time - 1. Eat as it is 2. Grated wasabi 3. Spicy miso with garlic 4. Ginger soy sauce with grated wasabi 5. Mix all with garlic spicy miso added to 4! Since it has a low fat content and a mild taste, changing the flavor as above and eating it to your liking will make it delicious until the end. It tastes even better when paired with rice! Rice with "shiba-zuke", "takana", "mentaiko", etc. is recommended. It's a place I'd like to stop by occasionally - thank you for the meal. Enjoy Meat Life☆
