[Ikinari Steak] A Japanese restaurant with great value for money🥩

Want to have a quick, filling, and easy steak meal in Japan? Everyone has thought about “I want to eat meat properly at least once while traveling in Japan. The perfect place for that is Ikinari Steak (いきなりステーキ)! 🥩What is Ikinari Steak? Ikinari (いきなり) means “suddenly” in Japanese. As the name suggests, it is a chain restaurant where you can visit without feeling pressured when you suddenly crave steak. It started out as a unique style where you could eat standing up, but now most of them have table seats so you can sit down and eat comfortably. There are over 200 stores nationwide, and they are currently operating in key commercial areas. ❗️However, there are still some stores where you can eat standing up without chairs, so look them up and go. 📋 Menu & Price Range The biggest advantage of Ikinari Steak is that you can order as much meat as you want. You can order in 100g units, so you can freely adjust the amount! 🥩 Top 3 main menus 1. Wild Steak The most popular menu This is the most satisfying menu for the price, as it is made by grilling and slicing thick beef. ✔ Affordable price ✔ Juicy and satisfying texture ✔ Recommended for beginners/first-time visitors 💡 The meat is American beef processed from chunks of beef, and is served rare to medium. 2. Akami Steak (赤身ステーキ) Preferred by dieters It is a lean part (赤身/Akami) with almost no fat, and is characterized by a light and rich taste. ✔ High protein·low fat ✔ Healthy food, no burden even when dieting ✔ Goes well with salt + wasabi without sauce 💡 It is similar to ‘Hire’, but feels more casual and cheap. 3.
