Proud of the demi-glace sauce that has been preserved for over 70 years since its establishment.
Tastes loved by many cultural figures are served as they were in the past. From the front, "Hayashi Rice" 1,500 yen, "Crab Croquette" 1,600 yen
This long-established Western-style restaurant was established in 1950. The demi-glace sauce, which has been made since the establishment of the restaurant, is a symbol of the restaurant's flavor and is surprisingly light, but the flavor is concentrated and full-bodied. The balance of the bittersweet caramel flavor is also exceptional.
Hayashi rice" made with this sauce is the most popular menu item at the restaurant. It is filled with crispy onions, beef, mushrooms, and other ingredients that are sauteed to order, and the sauce pot is filled to overflowing.
The crab croquettes are also a must-try. The fine breadcrumb batter is crispy and light to the touch, and the white sauce with crab meat is slightly garlicky and addictive.
