I ordered the exciting combo with extra large rice at the food court on the first floor of AEON Mall Asahikawa Station Front store. The condiments such as sauce are placed next to the cash register. The meat is served rare and cooked on a hot iron plate to your liking, but I am not a rare absolutist or rare doctrine follower, so I prefer my meat well-done. Next time I order, I will ask for the egg yolk to be cooked hard. It was delicious. Thank you very much.

I feel energized! I'm going to eat meat! This is my second time using this place. It's my first time here. The menu is casually extensive. I ordered a double with extra meat, ribeye... even though I mentioned it at the beginning. I got the beef pepper rice with lots of beef. They don't use a buzzer system, so they bring the food out right away, and I wait off to the side. The sizzling hot plate is heavy, so they carefully bring it to the table. They only provide a spoon, so I had to ask for a fork. The dish is delicious with a strong pepper flavor and plenty of meat. The corn is also good. There were many garlic and seasonings at the counter, but it was too far from my seat, and I didn't feel like going back. They don't provide small plates either. It's nice that they give you change from 1000 yen. It's only QR code payment though. Thank you for the meal!

I went to AEON Mall Asahikawa Station to watch a movie on the first day of Golden Week. After watching the movie, I went down to the food court for lunch. I was deciding between a hamburger, udon, or ramen. I noticed a store called "Isel" offering a "Meat Day" special, so I decided to order the "Meatball Hamburger (200g) with less rice" for 1190 yen. The hamburger arrived quickly, but the side of bean sprouts was a bit lacking. I added sauce and tried to cut into the hamburger, but it was tough and dry. The sauce had a strong black pepper flavor, which didn't match well with the burger. I ended up leaving some of the burger uneaten. Overall, the meal was a disappointment for me, but it might appeal to younger customers.

In November 2022, the weather was bad so I decided not to leave AEON and have dinner there instead. The first floor food court is a popular spot for students to hang out every day. I didn't have anything specific to eat, just studying with my pet tea or chatting. Well, it's fine, but if 80% of the seats are taken up like this, it's not good for business. I've seen this kind of thing in Sapporo too, so I guess it's just the times changing, and I'm just an old guy. So, I decided to buy dinner at Pepper Lunch. They sell draft beer here. I ordered the beef pepper rice with extra meat. And a draft beer. When you pay, it comes out right away. It's sizzling hot, so I mix it up to cook the meat. It's like making your own garlic beef fried rice. It has a garlic aroma, but it's different from ramen, more savory. It's delicious, but I felt like something was missing, so I added the steak sauce-like condiment from the counter, and it became even tastier. It goes well with beer, so that's nice. However, the food court is a hangout spot for students, so it's hard to enjoy a leisurely meal, which is a downside. I left soon after. Thanks for the meal.

I want to stay in Asahikawa City for a few days and visit all the restaurants on my list, but it's hard to find the time. During a break from work, I quickly visited "Pepper Lunch AEON Mall Asahikawa Station" near the station. It was around 1 pm on a weekday and the food court was about 80% full. I ordered the classic "Beef Pepper Rice @770" and received my hot meal after a short wait. The dish had rare beef on top of rice, with corn, green onions, and plenty of black pepper. The beef was tender and easy to eat, but the fat was a bit overwhelming. The rice was cooked well and the black pepper and sweet corn added a nice touch. The hot plate made the food dry out quickly, so it's best to mix it up and eat it right away. Overall, it was a good meal, although a bit pricey considering the rising costs of ingredients and utilities. I hope the consumption tax doesn't go up any further. Thank you for the meal.

I ordered the signature dish at Pepper Lunch. It's sizzling hot! The miso soup looks delicious too. The balance of flavors seems just right. It feels like it will gently wash away the grease from the meat and rice. Speaking of rice, it's beautifully presented. The meat covers the rice, topped with corn and green onions, creating a visually appealing dish. It's like a deconstructed bibimbap. The best thing about this dish is that it's piping hot. I mentioned it twice because it's important. Enjoy it while it's hot, just be careful not to burn yourself.

I want to eat sagari, but I also want to eat steak, and with rice, it's perfect for me. It may sound confusing, but that's how I feel. I had been seeing this advertisement for a while, and finally decided to go try it. Eating at the restaurant area is normal compared to eating at the food court, where it feels a bit special and embarrassing. I enjoy eating the hot meat on the hot plate. The lean meat feels satisfying to eat. I'm sure the set meal with rump meat is delicious too, but sagari is my favorite. Great job!

I want to eat. I really want to eat... With that thought in mind, I go to AEON. The only place in Asahikawa where I can eat is the AEON in front of the station. When I arrive, I check the app before ordering... Oh, there's a free topping coupon. Options include corn, bean sprouts, grated radish with ponzu sauce, fried egg, and cheese for 100 yen. I decide to add a fried egg as a topping. Later, I realize this was a mistake. The main item on the grand menu is probably the beef pepper rice. Other options include cut steak and hamburger. There's also a menu with both hamburger and steak... Hmm, but I think the beef pepper rice with lots of meat is the way to go. So I choose the version with lots of meat. I added a fried egg on top, but it turns out that on Tuesdays, they offer a free drink during AEON's Tuesday market. However, if you add a topping like a fried egg, the free drink offer is not valid. If I had known, I would have saved the topping for another day and taken advantage of the free drink offer on this day. Oh well, missed opportunity. The dish has a lot of meat. When I opted for the version with lots of meat, there was actually a substantial amount of meat. With this much meat on top, there's nothing to complain about. Sometimes, when they say "lots of meat," you end up with less than expected... But this time, there was no such issue, and I was satisfied with the amount of meat. When the hot plate was sizzling hot, I mixed it all up. The two sauces (sweet and spicy) and salt and pepper on the counter were brought over, and I like to mix both sauces for a customized flavor. And, it's best to sprinkle plenty of pepper. The dish was sizzling on the hot plate without cooling down, making a delightful sizzle sound. Now, let's dig in!!! Delicious!! It's essentially meat fried rice, but it's a bit different. The sweetness of the corn, the flavor of the sauce, and the umami of the meat all come together, creating a wild dish. This is true B-class gourmet. And the burnt bits of rice on the hot plate here and there add to the enjoyment. Come to think of it, you don't see hot plate fried rice often. Maybe they should try to mimic the pepper lunch concept... Hmm, I had a strong craving for it, and I felt fortunate to be able to eat it. It was a delicious meal. Thank you. ☛◇ Eating on a hot plate makes it even more delicious, right? ◇

After a long time, I went shopping at Aeon. The checkout was as crowded as usual. This time, I visited Pepper Lunch for the latest trend of eating in silence. I ordered Pepper Rice S!! The sauce, a specialty of the founding, was delicious as always!! I was thinking of trying the steak next time, but ended up ordering the usual here. It was delicious! I'm satisfied! Thank you for the meal.

I used this place for lunch. I didn't have much time that day, so I decided to use the food court. I wanted to try the beef pepper rice where you finish it yourself on a hot plate at this store. I ordered the "Beef Pepper Rice with Lots of Meat" (900 yen, excluding tax) and a set with "Salad & Drink" (200 yen). I chose iced coffee as the drink in the set. Normally, don't you have to wait for your order in a food court? But here, because you finish it yourself on a hot plate, after paying, you move to the side and wait a bit for your tray to be handed to you right there. The staff places rice on the hot plate, then adds corn, green onions, pepper, sauce, and beef on top before handing it to you. The surroundings are covered with paper to prevent oil splatter. By the time you sit down, one side of the beef is almost cooked. The correct way to eat it is to mix the beef and rice together, but I wanted to enjoy the crispy rice, so I only cooked the beef on both sides before eating. The rice gets hot enough just by being on the hot plate. The aroma of pepper and the sweetness of the corn go well together. I cooked the meat until the redness was gone, and although there were spicy and sweet sauces available, I found it just right as it was. You can enjoy this menu by mixing all the rice and beef together like pilaf, or by placing the cooked meat on the rice to enjoy the crispy texture. It was delicious!!

Beef pepper lunch! Small size! The taste is just like when they first started! I had it with lots of garlic and it was delicious! It's always tasty whenever I eat it. The small portion is just right, so I end up coming back for more! So happy ❤️! I want to try their steak too, but it's hard to move on from this flavor.

I came to AEON with my daughter who shows no signs of being born even though the due date has passed, so we decided to take a walk. We were drawn to the sound of sizzling oil on the hot plate, so we decided to try Pepper Lunch. It's a bit complicated, but since we were just tasting, we ordered the cheapest option. Huh? It's delicious with a strong pepper flavor. I underestimated it (laughs).

Today is Friday. It's lunchtime. I'm at Pepper Lunch. It's crowded here, the most crowded place in the food court at the station. There are various options like Takoyaki, Ramen, Gyudon, Soba, etc. But the longest line is here. People really crave meat, right? Do you want to go to Pepper Lunch? Today, what position will it be? If it looks delicious, please press the "↓" button! The first time I tried the Grand Menu was in my early twenties. The restaurant had only a counter and the menu consisted of only Pepper Lunch. I didn't have much money, so maybe I didn't even notice the steak on the menu. The lower part actually contains the recommended menu, but it's a bit expensive. The standard menu is listed below the toppings. These are the more affordable options. But since they are at the bottom, they are easy to miss. It's a business strategy. They serve a Pepper Lunch with plenty of meat and extra rice. It's perfect. Despite the various menu options, the first one they created is usually the most delicious. You have to mix it yourself. Mix until there are no color inconsistencies. Mix until the meat is cooked through. Add the sauce according to your preference. Finally, they cook the meat and rice on the hot plate. It's a satisfying experience to eat it while it's still hot. The sauce was a bit mild, but adding plenty of pepper gave it a nice kick. I personally prefer this over the steak I had before. But a 1-pound steak is tempting. It's probably cheaper than other places. Thank you for the meal.

This shop serves sizzling dishes on iron plates. The steak and hamburger made with thinly sliced beef are delicious, but I also love this dish. Bacon Cheese for 650 yen (excluding tax): The savory flavor of charred bacon and the sweetness of corn mixed with rice in a hot iron plate, covered in cheese. I like to sprinkle black pepper and Tabasco for extra spiciness. The iron plate creates a nice crispy texture. I used a coupon for a free drink and chose melon soda. I also had udon and parfait as a side. The person I went with had the grated hamburger, which was also delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I ordered the Service Steak set (100g diced steak with rice, drink, and mini salad) and the Wild Steak set (150g steak without rice for ¥100 off, with miso soup and mini salad). The meat was firm but simple and easy to eat. There was sauce for dipping, with a choice of sweet or spicy. The bean sprouts served on the side, like the steak, need to be flipped halfway through to avoid undercooking, so it's good to pay a little attention to that.

Lunch at Ion. Lunch at Pepper. A shop located on the first floor of the food court in front of Asahikawa Station. I used to go there a lot over 20 years ago when it first opened as a store in Tokyo. Recently, it seems to be appearing in various Ion food courts. I don't think they used to serve steak back in the day. I remember, there was rice and meat on a hot plate, and you would mix and cook it yourself with sauce. Pepper rice, where you could choose the amount. That was the only menu, I think... But recently, the menu has expanded quite a bit. It was quite fresh for me to visit after a long time. Do you eat steak? Where do you think it ranks today? If the photo looks appetizing, please click the "↓" button! ⇒ Try clicking it once! There are various types of steak, starting from sirloin, hamburger, steak, to pepper rice. Regardless of what you order, the sizzling sound of the meat coming out on the hot plate is already so appetizing. Just that alone makes it look delicious. Do you prefer the upper or lower menu? The menu is written on the upper and lower sections. Of course, the good quality meat is highlighted. The lower section offers cheaper steak options. Well, as a business, they want to increase the average spending per customer. Wild Juicy Cut Steak 300g. It was mentioned that rice comes in a large serving for free. However, for a large serving, it was a bit small. The meat that came out was bright red. You cook it to your liking on the hot plate. They also brought a knife and fork, but the meat was already cut... The timing was off... The sound of sizzling continued throughout. Well, the hot plate was really hot. However, I couldn't quite get the timing right to flip it. I thought it was ready, flipped it, but it was still a bit early. After leaving it for a while... I accidentally overcooked it. Of course, the latter part turned out quite well-done. It would be good if there was a safe spot on the hot plate. In the end, I ate it with chopsticks since it was already cut. The meat is Angus beef, originally from Scotland, but now imported from the US. It tends to refer to lean meat, so the fat content was not high. Therefore, it felt a bit dry, but hey, I'm eating meat! It had a taste similar to American-style meat. Pepper rice is still the best with pepper rice. Thank you for the meal. ⇒ Choosing the meat is very important. Thank you for your comments. ※Yamaokaya Robo Mamushi Santayu-san G-Series Moyashi Miso, this is a pretty hearty limited edition flavor. I even think it's okay to eat rice with this dish!! I hadn't been to Yamaokaya for a while, but when I went back, they had the G-Series!!! Of course, I had to order it!! Tomorrow's preview may look normal... but the impact is unbelievable!!

Adult ceremony, the dazzling figure of the new adults in their formal attire~www Beautifully dressed in their furisode, there are many young ladies here. Today, we arrived at the mall with my family at 2 o'clock to change the mobile phone company we have been using for almost 20 years.

In a limited time, I dash to the restaurant, eat quickly, and dash back. Some people might say, "Why not just go to a nearby store or convenience store?" But I can't help it - I love eating! This time, I had a Wild Steak, 300g for 1360 yen (excluding tax), with a free rice upgrade. On Tuesdays, they offer a free drink, so I had a Melon Soda for free. The Wild Steak was long and rare, so I had to tear it with my teeth. I felt a bit wild! The rice portion was a bit small for me, so I finished it quickly. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. Thank you!

Weekend lunch #059. It was around noon on Saturday, so it was naturally crowded with about 5-6 people in line. Despite that, the service was relatively smooth and I had time to choose from the menu. It was my first time, so I decided to go with the Beef Pepper Rice. It was packed with meat, and I opted for extra rice, salad, and a drink (lol). When it arrived, the rice was sizzling hot on the hot plate, literally hot! Maybe I should have mixed the meat and rice more. I enjoyed it by adding sauce little by little. It had a strong garlic flavor and felt very nutritious. Next time, I would like to try their steak, which seems to offer good value for money. Thank you for the meal~

We went to the mall to buy a birthday present for a friend and a farewell gift for another friend who goes to Hawaii every November. We ended up trying Pepper Lunch for the first time and ordered the Bacon Cheese dish. It was delicious with the bacon, cheese, corn, and asatsuki mixed in with the rice on the sizzling hot plate. We also enjoyed some Marugame Udon as a side. After eating, we explored the mall and ended up buying something cute. It was a fun day!
