A Must Try! Grilled on Real Lava Stone From Mt. Fuji ππ₯©
What makes a good steak? π€
Ha! Well, for me, I want a tender and juicy meat that melts in my mouth. π
Last weekend we tried a different steak. This steak restaurant is new to me. I never tried a proper Japanese steak, well, I tried wagyu when I was in Japan, but I think this type of beef is on the leaner side, which is called βtop bladeβ. π₯©
This is the menu in front of the restaurant. Different steak cuts, and yes, they have a chicken steak. π
A staff greeted us and led us to the booth. The menu was simple, so easy to pick what to order, but I noticed one thingβ¦ they do not have any desserts. π₯²
The staff were so nice to explain everything from the meat to the ingredients. As if I was having a full blown conversation with a friend, haha. π
But what amazed me was the lava stone grill from Mt. Fuji.
Wahhh It boosted my hunger. π€€π€€π€€
I ordered the 1-B Yappari Steak with soup and rice.
The soup and the sauces came out first. The egg soup has a beefy flavor, somewhat savory, and a bit peppery. The amount was just right while waiting for the main star.
The sauces were soy sauce, onion sauce, and garlic sauce, then a little squeeze of wasabi. In my opinion, it was bland, so perhaps I needed a dash of salt.
Additional sauces were available, like tomato ketchup, teriyaki sauce, tabasco, etc. Sauces were refillable and self-served. And the introvert in me was screaming in joy because I do not have to call the attention of the staff for additional sauce, ha! π
While enjoying my egg soup, I can hear a sizzling sound on my left side. Ahh~ the smell was filling the air. π
It came to the table like this. It was covered in a napkin secured on top by a toothpick fixed on the meat.
I let the sizzling tone down a bit before taking out the napkin. Those oily jumping out would be nasty! (I still have things to do after this)
Tadaa~ ππ»
The aroma got stronger the moment I took the napkin off. I knew the lava stone was scalding hot because go the smoke coming out from it.
I cut the steak in between to reveal the red meat. At the moment, I was thinking of what temperature I should aim for. Hmm, medium and medium-well kinda temperature..
It was hard to control the heat, to be honest, with all the chit-chatting and taking photos, I was everywhere.
I tried to cook a steak at home before, but it was a hella disaster... I never did it again. π₯²
But whatever the outcome, it was a tender and juicy steak cooked on a Mt. Fuji lava stone!
I took a small bite to try, and just a small amount of wasabi on top.
It was incredibly tender, juicy, and meaty umami-nessβΊοΈπ. I tried eating it with the sauces, and it was even more delicious. Of course, as an Asian, I canβt forget the rice!
What a delight- well satisfying meal. ππ»π₯©
Even though I struggled with the cooking part, the meat and the experience were phenomenal. ππ»
What I like about the restaurant was the great atmosphere, nice staff, and no BS menu. And hey, the lava stone came straight from Mt. Fuji! It was a cool experience.
Bonus part, I dropped a piece on the floor ughhh π€
That is it for this food blog. I will see you at the next one!

I only had bistek, so i'm not sure? Charizzzz! Haha. But man, the steak looks good, if you cook it more ba di na sya tender? I want to try steak too with the fam π€€π€€. Ang taray nong sayo, from Japan and grilled in real lava stone? Taste so expensive ano? Hhaha, uwu
Yes, very tender. π Yeah, they said the lava stone is from Mt. Fuji. Maybe a gimmick coz it does not add any flavor, haha. Maybe for experience lang (or I am just doing it the wrong way)

Thank you for the support! π
Looks delicious π€€. Did grilling it on that stone adds some flavour or does it heat up really fast? Is that why they use it?
Although I never really understood the concept of cooking your own food in a restaurant π. My cooking skills suck lol so when they do this I don't have much to say π€£.
I think the concept of cooking it yourself is that you can customize the food. π No, it did not add flavor at all, haha.
