"Ikinari!STEAK" where you can enjoy "sold by weight" steak in a standing-eating style. It is a popular restaurant that is inevitably lined up because you can eat steak at a reasonable price starting from 5 yen per gram.

The author, who has been worried for a long time, missed the opportunity to go. It's summer, I want to eat meat! I thought, and went out to the city. I visited the first store, "Ikinari!STEAK Ginza 4-chome Store" (Higashi-Ginza, Tokyo), which opened in December 2013.


I arrived at the store around 11:00, which is the opening time. It seems that it had just opened, and the customers lined up were guided to the store one after another. The author was also able to slip into the store in the first turn.


The store is already full. The customer base is surprisingly wide, including men in suits, men and women who look like couples, and duos of women. Adults wearing paper aprons are waiting for the steak to arrive.

If you look at the lunch menu, you will find 300 grams of steak or "Wild Steak" (1,050 yen) and "Wild Hamburg" (1,000 yen), which are a set of hamburger steak, rice, salad, and soup.


It seems that you can order the steak sold by weight, which is also the store's melon, in a fixed quantity cut. "Rib roast steak" of "1 gram 5 yen" is 300 g or 400 g, "Naruo brand beef rib roast steak" (1 gram 7 yen / 300 g or 400 g / store limited) and "fillet steak" (1 gram) 8 yen / 200 grams or 300 grams) is available. Separately, A set (rice, salad) for 300 yen and B set (rice, salad, soup) for 400 yen can be attached.

As a result of a lot of trouble, I ordered the most popular dinnertime menu "Rib Roast Steak" (300 grams). By the way, this is American beef, and the slightly expensive Naruo brand beef is from Australia. It seems that the 1,050 yen wild steak is a different kind of meat.

If you look at the kitchen, you can see a large amount of thick meat being roasted. The staff's hands that turn over with exquisite baking are vivid. Expectations are rising for the occasional flames.



About 10 minutes after ordering, the ribeye steak was delivered. large. There is more volume than I expected. On the hot plate are corn and onion slices, making a sizzling and delicious sound. On top of the meat is "garlic butter". Spread it firmly while the meat is hot.


Sprinkle the "hot steak sauce" in the stainless steel pot on the table. The sauce bounces on the hot iron plate, and it's quite dynamic.


Let's get started. When I cut the meat, being careful not to touch the plate, a moderately roasted meat appeared. Probably because the area was a little large, it was not surprisingly thick for the number of grams, but it has plenty of volume compared to general ribeye steak. The meat was moderately tender, and the garlic that worked well was appetizing, and it was completely eaten in no time.

It may sound quite big when you hear it at 300 grams, but suddenly! If you like meat and want to go to steak, this is the beginning. You can only order 300 or 400 grams at lunch time, so next time I'd like to have more meat at dinner time.


Now, let's get into the steak refill time. Since it was rib roast earlier, I ordered the most expensive "fillet steak" (300 grams) from the lunch menu this time.

The steak that has been brought in is more powerful than before. Although the area is a little small, the impression is that it is thick. As expected, fillet meat.


When I cut it and look at the cross section, it is about rare. Due to its solid thickness, you can see the vivid contrast between the fragrantly baked surface and the red meat inside. Although it is a part with less fat and more lean meat, it is soft and easy to eat, and it goes well with steak sauce. I was able to enjoy a different sense of luxury from the ribeye steak.

You can order 200 grams here, but I hope you will enjoy this luxurious thickness with 300 grams or more.


By the way, if you have excess meat, you can take it home. When you talk to the clerk, they will prepare a set for To go such as a disposable container, so you can refill it yourself. It seems that you can also order by To go, but I still want to stick to the freshly baked in the store. It's a waste to get cold.


I had two kinds of meat, but it is good not only to enjoy the big chunk steak, but also to "eat some kinds of meat in a moderate size" . If the lumps are large, they will cool down as you eat, so if you "refill" 300 to 400 grams each, you may be able to fully enjoy the delicious freshly baked steak.

At dinner time (15: 00 ~), you can order as many grams as you like. In addition to rib loin steak and fillet steak, "Naruo brand beef sirloin steak (1 gram 7 yen)", "Kuroge Japanese beef sirloin steak (1 gram 13 yen)" (both Ginza 6-chome store), "domestic beef sirloin steak" (1 gram, 10 yen) ”(Ginza 4-chome store, Azumabashi store) is also available, so it would be ant to choose a store for the meat you want to eat.

Even the most expensive Japanese black beef sirloin is 3,900 yen for 300 grams. It's pretty reasonable. If you're going all the way, I'd like you to take the plunge into the good meat. My next aim is Wagyu sirloin.

In addition, there were always more than 5 people waiting outside the store, but the turnover is surprisingly fast, probably because it is a stand-up eating. The earliest person was leaving the store at 11:22 (22 minutes after the store opened!) . It's a difficult season to line up under the scorching sun, but it seems that the waiting time is unexpectedly short at 11 o'clock. When I left the store before 12 o'clock, seven people were lined up.

Suddenly! There are currently 5 steak stores in Tokyo, the Roppongi store on July 15th, the Plena Makuhari store, which will be the first store outside of Tokyo on July 30th, and the Akasaka-dori and Kichijoji stores in August. It is scheduled to open and is expanding steadily. I'd be happy if you could open a store in areas other than the Tokyo metropolitan area, but it's true.
