About this place
Grill Demi’s tongue-stew hamburger steak brings together a hamburger steak and beef tongue stew on one plate. Visitors have described the tongue as tender enough to cut with chopsticks, and said the hot plate kept the meal piping hot to the last bite. The set comes with rice, miso soup and salad; the listed price is 2,200 yen.
The combination of sauce and rice is part of the appeal. Some diners say the rich sauce pairs well with rice without becoming too heavy, while others have poured the sauce left on their plate over their rice. If you want to savour the sauce right down to the last spoonful of rice, the tongue-stew hamburger steak is a good choice.
For an even bigger serving of beef tongue, there is a set that adds thick-cut tongue steak, listed at 3,200 yen. The “Ultimate Set Meal” combines the tongue-stew hamburger steak and thick-cut tongue steak with boiled beef tongue for 3,500 yen. It is an option for those looking for a substantial meal: one visitor who ordered it noted the generous amount of meat and said it was satisfying even for a hearty eater.
If you would rather choose the sauce and size of your hamburger steak than have it topped with beef tongue stew, try one of the sizzling-plate options. They come with rice, miso soup and salad, and the sauces include demi-glace with egg, cheese demi-glace, grated daikon with ponzu, spring onion and salt with lemon, and XO sauce mayonnaise. Sizes range from 150g to 500g: 150g is 1,300 yen, 200g is 1,500 yen, 250g is 1,700 yen, 300g is 1,900 yen, 400g is 2,300 yen, and 500g is 2,700 yen. Visitors have mentioned enjoying the refreshing squeeze of lemon over the spring onion and salt hamburger steak, and the sweetness and savoury flavour of the XO sauce mayonnaise.
For a familiar Western-style option, there is a dish pairing a hamburger steak with omurice, topped with demi-glace sauce, as well as Napolitan. The omurice comes with a choice of demi-glace or ketchup and costs 950 yen. Napolitan is also available on its own for 950 yen, offering a change from the restaurant’s generous signature sets.
The restaurant serves lunch and dinner. Its listed opening hours are 11:30–14:30 and 17:00–20:30. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Some visitors have reported waiting when they came for lunch, so it may be worth allowing extra time.
