For lunch on this day, I went to "Seiohtei Shinjuku Store," a Western cuisine restaurant in the 7th floor restaurant area of Shinjuku Isetan. I arrived around 12:00 during Golden Week and had to wait for about 10 minutes, but surprisingly, I was able to enter the restaurant in about 15 minutes. I heard that this place is run by someone who used to work at "Restaurant Koumiya" in Iriya. Hearing that, I felt like trying their menchi-katsu. However, just having menchi-katsu seemed a bit plain, so I ordered a set where you can choose two main dishes. It's called the "Choose Your Plate" for 2,970 yen, which includes soup, rice or bread, and coffee or tea. First, the corn potage arrived. It was rich and full of the flavor of corn, with a smooth and creamy texture. After finishing the soup, the mains arrived promptly. I chose the hamburger steak and menchi-katsu cutlet. The hamburger steak had a dense meat texture, tightly packed. The demi-glace sauce had a deep flavor, but the patty itself was quite ordinary. The menchi-katsu cutlet was crispy and juicy, with the meat juices flowing out when you bite into it. The meat flavor was rich and delicious. Also, the side of potatoes had a surprisingly gooey texture and was delicious. However, the portions of both the hamburger and menchi-katsu were small, and honestly, the cost performance was not great. With this portion size, I think men may find it lacking. In conclusion, although it's a bit pricey, if you want to enjoy delicious food in small portions elegantly, this place can meet your needs, so it's best to use it considering the occasion. Lastly, the service was very polite and attentive, making the atmosphere comfortable.
