Yoshinoya Introduces the Buzzworthy "Steak Set"! Heading Straight to the Restaurant
Hearing the news that Yoshinoya launched an authentic steak menu, I was so intrigued that I rushed straight to the restaurant!
Opening the touch screen ordering menu, the words "Sizzling Premium Beef Teppan Steak Set" stood out prominently in the "Limited Time Offer" section. Priced at 1,498 yen including tax (1,362 yen tax-excluded), it sits on the higher end of Yoshinoya's menu line-up. However, considering it as an "authentic steak set meal served on a sizzling hot iron plate," it doesn't feel overly expensive compared to dining out at typical steak restaurants. Expectations are high to see what level of quality it delivers.
Piping Hot over Solid Fuel! Tasting the "Sizzling Premium Beef Teppan Steak Set"
On the tray served in front of me was the "Sizzling Premium Beef Teppan Steak Set," complete with steam rising and a delightful sizzling sound coming from the iron plate heated by solid fuel underneath. The set includes rice, miso soup, fresh garden salad, teppan steak accompanied by potato salad and corn, plus a side dish of Japanese-style onion sauce.
The beef comes conveniently pre-cut into bite-sized pieces. Being able to eat it easily with chopsticks without needing a knife is very convenient and quintessential Yoshinoya style.
Pouring the sauce from the side dish over the meat produces a satisfying sizzle and fills the air with a savory onion aroma. Taking a bite, the beef is pleasantly tender, with rich, natural beef flavor bursting in your mouth with every chew. It pairs wonderfully with the savory-sweet Japanese onion sauce, making it incredibly appetizing and perfect with rice.
Looking around the restaurant, I noticed other customers ordering the steak set meal as well. Being able to enjoy this level of teppan-style steak so easily at Yoshinoya feels like a massive plus.
[Summary] A Satisfying Treat Perfect for Pampering Yourself
