Visit date: Saturday, January 29, 2022, around 1:30 pm. This is a diner located on the outskirts of the business district near Higobashi. The name of the restaurant is quite catchy, expressing absolute confidence in their meat dishes. I had heard about this place on social media and TV, so I had been wanting to visit for a while. I decided to visit on a Saturday afternoon when there would likely be fewer business people around. As expected, there was only one couple as the previous customers when I arrived. The interior of the restaurant is cozy, with about 10 seats at the counter and one table for two. I was tempted to order the "Beef Tongue Set," but I ended up choosing a set that allowed me to enjoy both a hamburger and beef skirt steak at the same time.
- Hamburger & Beef Skirt Steak Set: ¥1900. After about a 10-minute wait, the sizzling set meal was served on a hot plate, creating an appetizing sound that stimulated my appetite even before tasting it. The set includes a 200g hamburger, 50g of beef skirt steak, and a decent portion overall. The rice is free for refills, and it comes with a side of cabbage salad and soup. The light onion sauce is also included. I started by savoring the natural flavors of the meat without adding anything. The hamburger was juicy and cooked to a perfect medium-rare, with the rich flavor of the minced meat coming through. Adding the accompanying onion sauce enhanced the deliciousness even more. The beef skirt steak was pre-cooked at a low temperature to remove excess fat, resulting in a tender and juicy texture. It was thickly sliced, and even just 50g provided a satisfying meal!
Customers who follow the restaurant's Instagram account receive a bonus of either 100g of french fries or one croquette with their order. I indulged in three bowls of rice and left completely satisfied with this weekend treat lunch! This diner, run by a husband and wife, has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, and they offer all-day service, making it a great spot for those seeking a hearty meal during lunch hours. They operate from 11:30 am to 8:00 pm, serving throughout the day. Currently, due to pandemic restrictions, alcohol is not available.
