Hamburg Steak M Size with Sweet Sauce, Truffle Egg Yolk, Rice (side dish) around 1750 yen paid by card. This restaurant was featured on my favorite YouTuber Emirin's channel and it looked so delicious that I had to try it (located in Tokyo). The main branch is in Fukuoka and there is also one in Osaka, but I was definitely planning to visit. I imagined it to be like a fancy restaurant, but it turned out to be all counter seats. Well, that was just my own imagination, so it's okay. Honestly, it's quite expensive and cramped under the elevated train tracks, and the service... The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was a bit off. However, the taste was unbelievably delicious. It was the second most delicious thing I've ever had in my life (the first being beef tongue in Sendai). If this restaurant was in Sapporo, I would definitely visit monthly, even if it meant ordering the larger size. I was a bit nervous about the atmosphere of the restaurant, but it turned out to be fine. The staff seemed a bit rowdy and the banter was intense. They would replace the hot stone if it cooled down, but since there was no bell on the counter, it was a bit hard to ask, so we quickly cooked the meat before it cooled down. It was a close battle, but we managed (laughs). The truffle egg yolk didn't really enhance the flavor for me, so you might not need to order it (I only ordered it because Emirin did). The meat was so tender and flavorful, not minced but rather chunky, and it just melts in your mouth. It's not like the juices gush out, but more like a soft, flavorful object melting in your mouth. It paired perfectly with the recommended sweet sauce. The portion size was a bit small, even when eating slowly it wasn't enough. But it was so delicious! If the atmosphere of the restaurant was better, I would have wanted to order more and come back the next day, but it was a bit tough, so I decided against it. I hope to visit Tokyo or Fukuoka maybe this year or next, and if I have the time, I would love to go back to eat here. Please open a branch in Sapporo... (pleading) Thank you for the meal!
