Kanda Shrine is a Shinto shrine located near Akihabara in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan.

Beefsteak （ステーキひろのビーフステーキ）

I had lunch at a famous steak house near Odakyu-Sagamihara station on the way back home from the National Hospital today.

Salad and wine...

Beefsteak (150g)...

この店のランチメニューの料理はすべて経験済み・・・で、今日はベーシックなところで１５０ｇのビーフステーキにしてみました。この店、何もこちらから言わないとレア焼きになります（多分？）。鉄板の上で焼いている時間はすごく短いです・・・焼けているのは表面だけ、お肉は非常にジューシーです。
The degree of cooking is "rare" unless otherwise specified... shorter cooking times retain more juice...
オダサガでは、この店が私は一番好きです・・・
I like the stake house the most around Odakyu-Sagamihara...

Seafood and vegetables produce a good quality broth with a rich flavor... yummy!!
