I tried the Shoutaian Yukke, which I was curious about from my last visit to the restaurant. Since it is cooked at a low temperature, it is easy to eat without the distinctive raw meat taste. The portion was larger than I expected, so it's good to share with two people. I highly recommend the Takobuta, which is really delicious with its tenderness and sweetness. Definitely try it as an additional dish.✼••┈Ordered Items┈••✼ ○ Shoutaian Yukke ○ A5 Rank Black Wagyu Shabu-Shabu Set (200g) ○ 2 slices of Takobuta from Chiba Prefecture ✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼

I had something I wanted to buy at Seibu, so I decided to have lunch there as well. The restaurant looked stylish from the outside and I was drawn to the menu. The Yukke Don was very delicious, but the Sukiyaki that the customers on both sides were eating also looked really good, so I'll try it next time. There are many delicious restaurants in Ikebukuro, but it's convenient because you don't have to walk too far when you go out, so it's nice to go there by train.

Visit date: around 2:00 PM on a holiday Menu: Drinkable Hamburger Set Meal - 1,958 yen (tax included) Includes 3 side dishes, mini salad, soup, rice (free refills) Located on the 8th floor of Seibu Ikebukuro Main Store's restaurant area. It's a bit more expensive than other places, but we were able to get in without waiting. There was a relaxed atmosphere, allowing us to enjoy our meal leisurely. The drinkable hamburger was... truly juicy and drinkable! Made with A5 rank black wagyu beef, it had a new texture that was incredibly tender. The cooking options were rare or medium-rare, so I chose medium-rare, and it was incredibly juicy and tender with no dryness at all. The demi-glace sauce was rich on its own, but combined with the meat juices, it was a perfect match that made the rice disappear quickly. I personally prefer the demi-glace sauce over grated radish. The hot rice was delicious and paired well with the tasty meat. You can also have free refills of rice, allowing you to enjoy all the meat juices. The three side dishes were meat sushi, roast beef, and meat miso tofu. It's a luxurious lunch, but being able to enjoy a leisurely lunch while shopping is a wonderful way to spend a holiday. Thank you for the delicious meal!♪(⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)

There is a new restaurant at Seibu Ikebukuro. The specialty seems to be hamburg steak that you can drink. I was also interested in the shabu-shabu, but I ended up trying the reasonably priced "yakiniku don" for 2068 yen. The chopstick rest in the shape of a gold cow is cute. The appetizers, such as gold leaf-topped beef sushi, were a bit luxurious.

I came here in search of hamburg steak that I can drink. Not only the main hamburg steak, but also the appetizers and salad were delicious. I ordered the Japanese-style hamburg steak as the main dish. It was easy to cut with chopsticks, and the hamburg steak was fluffy and disappeared in my mouth quickly. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

After work, I was drawn into the restaurant by the delicious-looking photos of meat on display. I ordered a somewhat pricey shabu-shabu course, so my expectations were high. However, the result was disappointing. The meat had no flavor or umami, it was just plain disappointing. What was even more disappointing was the service from the staff. Even after waiting, no tea was brought out after the meal. There was no apology for making us wait to order or pay, even though the restaurant was empty. Even with terrible service, if the food is delicious, people will still come back. But I will definitely not be returning.

It was delicious. I tried the signature dish at Shoutaian, the drinkable hamburger set meal, and was surprised by the small dish! Meat sushi came out in the small dish! The hamburger was not just delicious, but the meat juice was amazing. The price is high, so on the bright side, it's not crowded. But adding coffee to this costs around 2700 yen? So maybe it's good for a date, but once you go, you might not need to go again.

I decided to have lunch at the Seibu Ikebukuro restaurant area. The popular revolving sushi restaurant had a long line, and both restaurants were extremely crowded. However, I found a restaurant that was not crowded. It was a shabu-shabu restaurant. The prices were quite high, so it might be a bit difficult for families to come here, which is why there was no line. I peeked into the restaurant through the curtain and saw that there were quite a few customers inside, so it must be popular. I noticed a sign that said "drinkable hamburger" on the menu. Hamburger to... drink? Hamburger drink? No way, right? The picture showed a normal hamburger. It seems refreshing with grated ponzu sauce. They also offer set meals, but I think I'll just order the hamburger and add rice. I was guided to my seat by the waitress. The ordering system was through a tablet on the table. Of course, I ordered the drinkable hamburger with grated ponzu sauce. You can choose between rare or medium-rare for how you want your hamburger cooked, so I chose rare. And I also ordered rice. The department store's restaurant area was full of customers, so the floor staff could focus on serving efficiently. It was a weekend, so there were shoppers, families, and various other customers. It's unique to a department store. Now, my "drinkable hamburger" has arrived. There was grated daikon radish on top of the hamburger, and the ponzu sauce was served separately. Let's try it as it is. When I cut into the hamburger, the meat juice overflowed like a xiaolongbao! The meat juice that seeped into the plate increased with each cut, and in the end, the delicious meat juice filled the plate. Now, let's take a bite! I drank a hamburger for the first time in my life. Despite the overflowing meat juice, the moment I put it in my mouth, the delicious meat juice spread out and I felt like I was really drinking it! It was so soft and tender, and I was both chewing and drinking at the same time. It was truly amazing. It might seem strange to hamburger lovers who enjoy the meaty texture, but I really liked it. The umami of the meat juice spread throughout my mouth, making the rice disappear quickly. From the second bite, I added ponzu sauce to make it even more refreshing and easy to eat, and the hamburger and rice disappeared quickly. It was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating. This could be dangerous. I finished it in no time! Rice is a must, right? The advertising was not a lie. I enjoyed the delicious "drinkable hamburger." Thank you for the meal!

I visited for the first time. It was nice that each person could eat with their own pot, so we could add things like removing scum and vegetables at our own pace. We ordered a course, and the meat was tender and satisfying with a good portion.

I secretly visited a restaurant that offered "drinkable hamburg steak." You can choose the amount of sauce and rice for the hamburg steak. I ordered the Japanese-style ponzu sauce hamburg steak with a small portion of rice, and was served a luxurious appetizer and salad. The salad had a strong dressing flavor, while the roast beef appetizer lacked seasoning, making it taste a bit bland. When the hamburg steak arrived, I was instructed to dip it in the ponzu sauce instead of pouring it on top. The first bite without the sauce was juicy, but the meat's flavor seemed a bit weak. The second bite with the ponzu sauce was more delicious since the sauce was flavorful. The meal also came with miso soup, which was refreshing. I left feeling satisfied and full!

I went up to the Seibu Ikebukuro restaurant area and felt like eating something meaty, so I decided to try this new restaurant that caught my eye. The place was clean and new, with spacious tables and ample seating. We ordered using a tablet, and the service was a mix of traditional and casual. I opted for the "Yakiniku Don Set" with premium black wagyu beef since I didn't feel like having shabu-shabu. The three small side dishes that came first were decent, raising my hopes for the main dish. However, when the main dish arrived, it was a cold rice bowl. The egg and kimchi on top were cold, and even the rice underneath the supposedly warm meat was lukewarm, suggesting it wasn't originally hot. Mixing it all together made it even colder, leaving me wondering why I had to pay this much for a cold rice bowl. The meat itself had some toughness but was not too bad. I regretted not ordering the shabu-shabu instead. Checking on Tabelog later, I found that even the respected Lonely Gourmet had a similar experience with the premium wagyu sukiyaki set, saying it might have been a "mistake in choice." I should have checked reviews beforehand.

Shabu-shabu restaurant on the 8th floor of Seibu Ikebukuro. I went there on a holiday night without a reservation. [Food] - A5 rank special selected black wagyu shabu-shabu set The meat was sweet, tender, and incredibly delicious. There was plenty of meat slices because it was quite rich. - Drinkable hamburger set My 3-year-old child ate it and looked happy eating the soft hamburger. It was also delicious, of course. In addition, you can enjoy various types of meat such as beef carpaccio and beef namul! Thank you for the meal!

I finally got to try the drinkable hamburger that I've been curious about for a long time! I made a reservation for 11:00 and lined up at the front for the opening. Despite it being Friday lunchtime, Seibu Ikebukuro's Dining Park was bustling. I ordered the Japanese-style grated ponzu sauce hamburger and the shabu-shabu set. The shabu-shabu was delicious, with both the beef and pork being tender. I enjoyed it with two types of sauce, ponzu and sesame, for flavor variation. And finally... I met the drinkable hamburger!!! It was surprisingly large, but I took a bite while it was still hot. The drinkable hamburger. It was very tender but not too soft, offering a new texture to enjoy while savoring the meat juices. I highly recommend this unique hamburger for hamburger lovers to try at least once.

This is a shabu-shabu restaurant located on the eighth floor of Seibu Ikebukuro Main Store. They use high-quality black wagyu beef, so you can imagine how delicious it is. Other recommended dishes at the restaurant include a dish called "drinking hamburger" and sukiyaki set. I ordered the Cheese Hamburger from the touch panel. The appetizer was served first with a fresh salad, meat sushi, tofu with miso, and roast beef. After a short wait, the main hamburger was served with miso soup and rice. As described, it melts in your mouth with a perfect match with the sauce and a good accent of coriander. The cheese flavor is also excellent. The appetizers were also delicious with a high level of taste. This restaurant accepts Tokyo coupons.

I had a Hamburg steak with demiglace sauce and added cheese, which was like eating Yukhoe! I was worried about the size of the hamburger, but it was fluffy and light, so I finished it easily. I'm not usually a fan of raw meat, but this Yukhoe was amazing and melted in my mouth. I definitely want to visit this restaurant again.

On a holiday at 10:30 am. Visited as soon as they opened! Before I knew it, the restaurant was fully packed. This time, I ordered both course dishes and a few a la carte items. The Matsusaka beef course included shabu-shabu and sukiyaki, as well as a drinkable hamburger. The shabu-shabu meat was a rare thick cut, large enough to taste both lean and marbled parts in one slice! The sukiyaki was thinly sliced and tender. The small dishes were also quite good, with delicious broth. The "Melting Yukke" was like a hamburger before being cooked, and indeed it was as soft as if it was melting! Is this how they make drinkable hamburgers? The "Low-temperature Cooked Yukke" from the a la carte menu was the top recommendation!! It was moist and chewy, with a rich sauce and sprinkled green onions that paired perfectly. The perfect thinness. Couldn't stop eating with chopsticks. It's so good that it could be renamed as drinkable Yukke, following the drinkable hamburger. As expected from a restaurant in a department store, both the taste and service were consistent. Thank you for the meal! ^_^

I actually wanted to go to the Tobu restaurant area, but it was too crowded in Ikebukuro for Christmas, so I had to go to Tobu first and then to Seibu for some errands. We ended up having dinner at the Seibu restaurant area. The floor was still crowded and noisy, but we found a new restaurant that we hadn't seen before. My husband ordered the demi-glace hamburger set with black oolong tea, and I ordered the Japanese-style grated hamburger set with a highball. Although this restaurant mainly focuses on shabu-shabu, we were intrigued by the "drinkable hamburger" concept and decided to try their hamburgers. The restaurant seemed to be related to a yakiniku restaurant in Chiba. We were served salad and appetizers before the hamburgers arrived, which took about 15 minutes to cook. The appetizers were average. My grated hamburger was light and refreshing, truly drinkable. My husband's demi-glace hamburger was delicious, and the sauce paired perfectly with the meat. The only downside was the staff, who seemed inexperienced and overwhelmed due to the busy day. Ikebukuro is a competitive area for hamburgers, so while this restaurant at Seibu could be an option for a meal, we might choose to go to a different restaurant for hamburgers next time.

I visited without a reservation at 6 pm on a weekday. Even though there were only two of us, they guided us to a private room, which was nice. We had the Matsusaka beef 120g set meal. The meat was so thin that it would break apart just by picking it up with chopsticks, so it felt like I was eating meat! Although it didn't have a chewy texture, it was delicious. I thought maybe they kept it thin to avoid it looking lonely with only three slices. It's a shame that it feels a bit cheap because it's too thin. The taste is delicious though. I personally liked the sesame sauce more than the sesame itself, as it had a stronger acidity and flavor. ♡

After enjoying the gacha at Sunshine Ikebukuro, we tried to visit the collaboration cafe with the anime Chainsaw Man at Animate, but it was full. They said they could accommodate us if there was availability through a lottery reservation, but the next available slot was at 4 p.m. Since our flight was leaving soon, we gave up and went to my husband's favorite restaurant. Apparently, they serve drinkable hamburgers there. I didn't realize hamburgers were considered a drink like curry. The sign at the entrance even mentioned "shabu-shabu drinkable hamburgers". My husband and son ordered hamburgers in cheese and demi-glace flavors. The meal came with three side dishes, salad, miso soup, and rice made with Nanatsuboshi rice from Hokkaido. As for me, I chose the melt-in-your-mouth Yukke bowl with appetizers. The meal was accompanied by roast beef sushi, tofu with meat miso, and a cute rabbit figurine that we got from a gacha machine. The chopstick rest was a cow! My son and I were excited about it. By adding the restaurant on LINE as a friend, we received a free ice cream, which was a great deal. While many around us were enjoying shabu-shabu, this lunch menu was really good. It was delicious!

While shopping at Seibu Ikebukuro, I decided to have dinner at the restaurant area. I usually go to Tobu, so I have a good idea of which restaurants to visit, but since I don't go to Seibu often, I decided to take a look around first. The revolving sushi restaurant had a long line, so I opted for the restaurant next to it. This restaurant specializes in meat dishes, with its main attraction being the "drinkable hamburger." I've been curious about it for a while, so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant was quite empty when I entered, with only two groups of customers ahead of me and one customer behind me. They offer a variety of menu items featuring black wagyu and Matsusaka beef, but the interior lacked a sense of luxury, possibly due to the touchscreen ordering system. It seemed like the shabu-shabu and sukiyaki dishes were meant for individual servings, so I debated between the hamburger and sukiyaki donburi. Since I had plans to visit a hamburger restaurant soon, I chose the "Special Black Wagyu Sukiyaki Donburi Set." I ordered it and enjoyed a glass of Asahi Super Dry beer while waiting. The first dishes to arrive were three small appetizers, one of which was meat sushi. Unfortunately, the meat sushi didn't meet my expectations as the vinegared rice was too sour and the meat had a strong flavor. When the round donburi arrived, it was filled with plenty of meat, but the meat pieces were smaller than I had anticipated. Despite upgrading to the special black wagyu, the visual presentation was lacking. The meat was overcooked, making it difficult to appreciate the flavor, and the texture was very soft and fatty, making it hard to finish. It was a disappointing dinner, and I realized that perhaps this restaurant is better known for its hamburger or shabu-shabu dishes. I may have made the wrong choice from the menu.

Fairly recently, when I came to this department store to buy limited edition golf wear for a collaboration, the word "drinkable hamburger" caught my attention as I passed by a certain shop...drinkable...it must be rare, right? Maybe it's a hamburger dish by Hanamoe-san? Definitely my favorite! (´﹃｀) Today, I absolutely must buy the golf shoes I want, so I swear in my heart since yesterday that I will definitely go here! But well...shabu-shabu is also hard to resist. Alright!!! I'll go for the black wagyu shabu-shabu set with rice on the side, and the drinkable hamburger with cheese demi-glace as a single item! This restaurant, called Nanatsuboshi, offers all-you-can-eat rice! This is dangerous! It's so delicious!! The shabu-shabu vegetables are great, and even with just 3 slices of black wagyu, I'm quite full! And most importantly...the hamburger is so delicious that even someone like me who usually eats only half the rice wants to get a refill! Eating the hamburger on top of the rice! Oh no, I have to resist getting a rice refill! Nanatsuboshi in Hokkaido is quite delicious. Next time, I'll have the drinkable hamburger set and eat it with rice in the middle of the meal! (laughs) Thank you for the feast!!!
