A hidden lunch spot worth discovering! 🍴✨ I checked out Tanaka, a local eatery in Ōyama where you can enjoy a hearty meat-filled meal!

At first glance, it’s hard to tell if the place is even open—but the weathered, old-school sign gives it away. Step inside, and you're greeted by a nostalgic, retro-style steakhouse vibe.

Lunch here is super simple—just two options on the menu. On this day, it was Sirloin Steak Set or Hamburg Curry Set!

Here’s what I ordered:

Sirloin Steak Set – 980 yen The steak was big and filling—definitely satisfying! No fatty bits, and the texture was just right—not too tough, not too soft. The steak comes soaked in a savory sauce… but heads up, it’s pretty salty!! If you're into bold flavors, this might hit the spot.

Side salad and miso soup (included in the set) Nicely balanced, but these were also on the saltier side. Overall, it’s a salty lunch—but if you're in the mood for something punchy, this could be just what you need!

The portion size is on the smaller side, so it might not be quite enough for big eaters. Still, it’s a great little hidden spot for those who appreciate that nostalgic, old-school taste◎

Next time, I want to try the daily Hamburg Curry Set!
