麻布笄軒 中目黒店

The itinerary happened to include a stop at Nakameguro Station, so my family found a popular Western-style restaurant near the station known for its hamburger steak. Otherwise, we had eaten instant noodles and convenience store food too many times in the past few days in Japan…

After getting off at Nakameguro Station on the Hibiya Line and exiting, we followed the navigation straight ahead and arrived at the restaurant, which is right at the end of the road and quite noticeable. I felt that the appearance and interior decor had a nice mix of Japanese and Western styles.

My family had made a reservation for 17:30, and after entering the place, there weren’t many people for quite some time?! It was only after 18:00 that more customers gradually started coming in. The restaurant is small but looks to have quite a few seats, although it seems that they don’t accept reservations during lunch hours; you can check this online.

🌻 Creamy Omelette Hamburger Steak Rice ¥2000
(とろとろ玉子のオムリバーグ)

What a wonderful omelette hamburger steak rice 🫨🫨🫨
When it was served, it was in a complete omelette shape, and they gave you a knife and sauce for you to do it yourself. I think I cut it pretty well, but I’m not great at pouring the sauce… (plus I forgot to take a photo before cutting it; there’s only the “remains” left QQ)

The hamburger steak is thick and substantial, with a relatively sweet sauce that’s perfectly seasoned, not too salty. The tomato fried rice underneath paired with the omelette makes it just perfect… it was so tasty that I ate super fast.

🌻 Nakameguro Limited Pudding ¥500
（中目黒限定プリン）

The pudding has a smooth texture; it’s sweeter when eaten alone, but when paired with the slightly bitter caramel and the cream on top, the taste becomes just right. Personally, I think it rivals many café puddings! Delicious!

🌻 Nostalgic Cream Soda ¥700
（昔懐かしのクリームソーダ）

I personally love this kind of Showa-era café ice cream soda, so I ordered a cup~

There are four colors to choose from, and I selected the classic green. Drinking it alone tastes like syrup and is very sweet, but adding vanilla ice cream makes it much more enjoyable, so you absolutely have to add the ice cream and drink it…

The hamburger steak meal is really delicious, and I highly recommend trying it if you have the chance! Since it’s a chain restaurant, it can be found in other regions of Japan as well, and if I encounter it again, I would definitely be willing to visit just for the hamburger steak!
