Tokyo Minato-ku Kitaoyama 2-1-15

The first Japanese location of this popular New York hamburger chain, standing in the Meijijingu Gaien park in the Kita-Aoyama area of Minato City, Tokyo. The shop’s patties are all Angus beef, a high grade brand beef which is fed special fodder. People love Shake Shack’s juicy burgers. The shop’s hearty hot dogs, made with plump wieners, and its original frozen custard are also popular. Diners can enjoy a relaxing meal on the shop’s open and airy terrace overlooking the beautiful nearby avenue of gingko trees.

I dropped by with my girlfriend after a walk. The place was packed but the seats were well-distanced from each other. The shake was pretty good and sold in a wide assortment of flavors. There were...

Tokyo Shibuya-ku Jingumae 3-25-12 Fuji Building B1F

A restaurant standing just a five-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Meiji-jingumae Station serving roast beef rice bowls and American beef dishes. The sparsely lit interior creates a chic and subdued atmosphere. The restaurant's famed roast beef rice bowls are so piled high with beef you can't see the rice underneath. The hearty portions and tender meat have ensured their popularity. The steak rice bowls, covered with a special sauce, are particularly recommended.

The food service was so terrible. The steak special bowl has too much fat and bloody. You should eat faster. The eating time was only allowed for 20 minutes. The waitress will ask you to move out...

Miyazaki Pref. Miyazakishi Tachibanadorihigashi 3-4-24

This long-standing Western restaurant opened in 1956, in Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture. It is one of the restaurants said to have devised the Miyazaki’s specialty Chicken Nanban. The restaurant prides itself on its Chicken Nanban, made with tender chicken breast meat, cooked and immediately covered in sweet vinegar and a homemade tartar sauce. Locals and tourists alike line up to buy it. The old-fashioned interior, styled like a Western town restaurant, is also quite appealing.

Visited this restaurant to enjoy the renowned nanban chicken in Miyazaki with my friend. Staff is helpful and service is quick. The location is a bit hard to find but persevere and you’ll be rewarded...

Tokyo Chuou-ku Nihombashi 1-12-10

This is a long-established restaurant for yoshoku cuisine (Japan's take on Western-style food) located in Nihombashi. It has maintained tastes that are unchanged since it was founded in 1931, and is widely known as a restaurant that even impresses foodies. The first floor features a casual restaurant with traditional yoshoku food served at reasonable prices, while the second floor is a full-fledged restaurant. They are famous for their Tanpopo Omuraisu, a dish popularized by director Juzo Itami in which an omelette is served over fried rice with chicken. Their hayashi rice and beef tongue stew that are covered in a demi-glace sauce prepared over the course of a week are exquisite.

Hokkaido Hakodateshi Suehirochou 23-18

This is a gourmet burger restaurant located in the Bay area of Hakodate in Hokkaido, and its colorful clown signboard is a landmark. The interior of the restaurant is like a forest with the keynote being green, and there is a merry-go-round style wooden horse and swinging seats, with an atmosphere which is the same as an amusement park. The most popular burger is the “Chinese chicken” which has a Chinese flavored salty-sweet sauce. For groups, the gigantic “Mount Hakodate Burger” where three burgers can be enjoyed together is also popular.

There are about a dozen of this chain in HDate. The one one water near the Red Sheds is where went. There was another 100m away over the road. I had a Shrimp / Prawn burger which was good. They...

Tokyo Chiyoda-ku Kandajimbouchou 2-3 Kanda Old Book Center 2F

A European style curry restaurant located on the second floor of the Kanda Kosho Center Building in Jinbo-cho. The restaurant's curry was perfected by the original owner after he became deeply impressed by the depth of the basic sauces used in French cuisine. Its delicious flavor is the result of skillfully combining a secret blend of spices together with an abundance of dairy and several varieties of fruits and vegetables. All of the restaurant's curries come with rice and piping hot potatoes. The most popular item on the menu is the restaurant's signature beef curry. Particularly popular with women are the vegetable curry, which contains various tasty vegetables; and the cheese curry, topped with a hearty helping of cheese.

4 years ago, I watched a video regarding the delicious curry in a restaurant named Curry Bondy, and I anticipated a lot about the delicious curry. Due to COVID, my family and I finally ate at the...

Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Namba 3-1-34

One of the oldest “yoshoku” Japanese-style Western restaurants in Osaka, founded in 1910, famous for its curry rice. The shop’s renowned curry is served mixed with rice and topped with a raw egg, an idea born out of a desire to serve piping hot curry in a time when no commercial warming or reheating devices were available. The only toppings (other than the raw egg) are onions and beef. The shop’s “light” dashi stock gives the curry a unique flavor, and adding some sauce provided at each table further enhances the deliciousness. The closest station is Namba Station.

This restaurant features Japanese style Western food. Especially the famous cuisine is curry cooked with their own recipe. A typical Japanese curry puts curry soup on rice, but their curry was mixed...

Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Nishishinsaibashi 2-7-27

A venerable “yoshoku” Japanese-style Western restaurant located in Osaka City’s Chuo Ward said to be the originator of omelet rice. It is believed that a dish created for a regular with a weak stomach who always ordered rice and omelets in 1925 became the model for the popular Japanese dish. The restaurant is housed in a tea ceremony house-style purely Japanese building and the omelet rice served here tastes extra special when eaten while seated on a zabuton cushion on the tatami mat floor. In addition to standard ketchup-based omelet rice, the restaurant also serves a wide variety of variations, such as hayashi sauce and beef stew-based versions.

Serve authentic Japanese Omurice(Omelette rice) which is very very delicious. It is like a canteen kind of environment. But very nice spots to sit in. They have a lot of choices of Omu rice to...

Tokyo Meguro-ku Nakameguro 1-10-23 Riverside Terrace 1F

A charming, hideaway-style cafe located in Nakameguro, Meguro City, Tokyo. Huit carries an abundant selection of wines and the numerous dishes prepared by its chef are all both exquisite and hearty. The restaurant offers a daily plate lunch and the bread baked fresh here daily is all-you-can-eat. The homemade cakes and seasonal fruit desserts are also recommended. Huit's popular strawberry tarts often sell out before dinner. The restaurant offers a special spring-only dinner menu and during this time you can enjoy your meal while gazing at the blooming cherry trees along the Meguro River.

Great little French bistro. Not fancy or expensive but the food is good and it’s right on the river. I liked the beef bourguignon and cakes. Nice wine and coffee.

Hyougo Pref. Koubeshi Chuou-ku Shimoyamatedori 2-1-17 Maurya Building

This well-established steak house that is located a three-minute walk from Sannomiya was founded in 1885. Ever since then they have been particular about the quality of their meat, and they also have good quality, thoroughly marbled Kobe beef on hand. The soft steak that has a texture which almost seems to melt in one's mouth is an exquisite masterpiece that allows the diner to thoroughly enjoy the umami flavor of the premium meat. The lunch options that allow guests to enjoy Kobe beef and other carefully selected beef at reasonable prices are popular. With its classy yet relaxed atmosphere, many patrons use this restaurant for anniversaries or special occasions.

I know there are several steak restuarants in Kobe and it might be worth trying something different but this place was amazing. The chef put on quite the show and knew exactly what we wanted. All...
