Meat is the power. The signboard menu "Gabu-don" at the popular store "Gabu" in Musashi-Koyama, Tokyo is suitable for summer when the heat tends to cause a lack of power. If you eat a bowl with a lot of thinly sliced steak, you will feel energetic.

Shops along Route 26

The shop is located on Route 26 from Musashi-Koyama Station and a short walk northwest. It's like a nostalgic bar or coffee shop, and it's incredibly small to be talked about on the Internet.

But there are a lot of customers. There are various people from local people to people who seem to come from afar, and it seems that they have all been attracted to the charm of meat.

Many women ask for a "rose version" of meat that is beautifully presented like a rose flower, and men often order a regular bowl of rice that is arranged radially like a sunflower flower.

Overwhelming meat!

The reporter ordered a regular gabu bowl (1,440 yen, tax included). After waiting for a while, the overwhelming presence of meat appeared. Roast beef bowl, rather than steak bowl. When you pick up one chopstick, it is firm and chewy. However, the degree of roasting is rare, and it is easy to chew because it is sliced very thinly.


The sweet sauce and the beef flavor are firmly united and pleasant. Black pepper is also spicy and insists on its individuality as a Western food. At first, no matter how much you eat, it seems that the meat lined up in the bowl does not decrease, and you can feel very luxurious.

As the large steak flowers gradually scatter, you can see the very finely chopped green cabbage humbled underneath. If you taste this with meat, it will be entertaining with a different texture than crispy.

Check the side

After enjoying the meat, turn to the side dish and you will find very cute small-sized pickles, tofu, and homemade nori tsukudani. Pickles and tofu have a refreshing flavor. Nori tsukudani is fragrant, sweet and has a resting chopsticks.

After trying the side dishes in order, return to the bowl and taste the firm taste of the steak again. I feel that the power is filled with each bite. When I emptied the bowl, apart from the feeling of fullness, I got a mysterious sense of accomplishment as if I had done something.
