(Translated by Google) There were quite a few foreign tourists in the restaurant, so the staff spoke a little English. The lunch steak came with salad, white rice, and soup of the day.
The steaks were available in different cuts: 80, 120, 180, and 300g. This time, I ordered the premium lean cut, medium-rare (7/10), 120g, which is a cut with less fat but tender meat. The portion size was just right for a woman with an average appetite.
The steak was pre-cut and served, with a beautiful brown exterior and a soft, juicy pink interior. I tried it in the order recommended by the staff: original, salt and mustard, mustard with sauce, and finally onion sauce.
Perhaps because I ordered a cut with less marbling, the meat had a slightly chewy texture, quite different from my impression of Kobe beef being rich, melt-in-your-mouth fatty. However, it was juicy and sweet, with a pleasant beef aroma as you chewed.
This was my first time trying steak with wasabi, and I surprisingly quite liked it. The wasabi wasn't too pungent; it simply enhanced the flavor, giving the steak a refreshing, spicy taste. The onion sauce was sweet, a classic and foolproof accompaniment to steak.
The accompanying salad, rice, and onion soup were also quite good, especially the rice, which was plump, moist, and each grain distinct – truly excellent.
I haven't tried other restaurants like this, so I can't compare, but overall, it was a good experience.

店內外國遊客蠻多的,所以店員會說一點英文。午餐的牛排有附沙拉、白飯和例湯。
牛排有分不同部位,80、120、180和300g,這次點了極上赤身7分熟120g,是油脂比較少但肉質軟嫩的部位,份量對普通食量的女生來說剛剛好。
牛排是切好上桌的,外層是漂亮的焦褐色,內裡呈現柔軟多汁的粉色。依照店員推薦的實用順序品嚐:原味、鹽和芥末、芥末加醬汁最後是洋蔥醬。
可能因為是點油花比較少的部位,肉質是有韌性的口感,跟想像中神戶牛油脂豐富入口即化的印象不太一樣,但肉汁豐潤鮮甜,咀嚼之際能品嚐到牛肉的香氣。
我是第一次吃牛排搭配芥末,但意外地蠻喜歡的,芥末不會過於嗆辣,簡單提味,讓牛排有種辛香料特有的清新口感;洋蔥醬是甜口的調味,算是品嚐牛排經典不出錯的搭配。
附餐的沙拉、白飯和洋蔥湯也都不馬虎,尤其是米飯晶瑩飽滿,濕潤而又粒粒分明,十分出色。
還沒有吃過其他家,無從比較,算是一次不錯的經驗。
