About the Ribeye Steak
The menu item that everyone is buzzed about is the Ribeye Steak, available for ¥4,880 (tax included). This mouthwatering steak is prepared to perfection, chargrilled for a delightful outer crust while keeping the inside succulent and juicy. It is accompanied by a distinctive sauce based on soy sauce with aromatic additions. Guests will also enjoy generous side dishes of seasonal vegetables and french fries or rice, making for a hearty meal. This beloved dish was once available for a short time and is now celebrated as an extinct gourmet treasure.
