"Sapporo Ushitei Minamiikebukuro store" continues to offer one signboard menu. It is a hamburger specialty store that opened in Ikebukuro, Tokyo in 2010 and is celebrating its 6th year this year (2016). It's a relatively fast-moving shop, but there can be lines during holidays and consecutive holidays.

What is offered here is the special "Sapporo hamburger steak". The best feature is that you don't use "connectors" at all. The component is "only meat". And the other is the fluffy texture of the impact baked in medium rare. You can enjoy the ultimate in luxury, as if you had the best of steak and hamburger steak!

◆ Landed in Tokyo 6 years ago

The predecessor of Sapporo Ushitei is "Steak House Ushitei" which opened in Sapporo, Hokkaido in 1981. Initially, steak was mainly served, but after that, when hamburger steak was added to the menu, it was well received.

Many customers said, "I want to eat outside of Sapporo!", So in October 2010, the first store in Tokyo, the Minami Ikebukuro store, opened.

◆ Fluffy hamburger to eat with chopsticks

You can choose your favorite size and roasting of the hamburger steak. By the way, the most standard choice is "230g (8.11oz) (medium size)" "medium rare". I wonder if even women can eat it to the last minute.


The hamburger steak at the restaurant is served with chopsticks because we want people of all ages to eat it without straining their shoulders. There is no extra elasticity on the fluffy surface, and if you put chopsticks in it, it will pass through. And the gravy that was trapped is fluffy! Looking at the cross section, the surroundings are well cooked, but the inside is still quite rare .


When you bite the outside, it loosens softly, and the fragrance and sweetness of fat overflow with Jivari. On the other hand, the meat inside is so trotting that it melts with your teeth . For example, it melts like sweets like tiramisu or creme brulee!


If you try to make a 100% meat hamburger steak without using a binder like this, the texture tends to be sloppy. However, at the same store, it is said that the texture will be fluffy and fluffy by making it "steamed" so that moisture does not escape.

◆ Pepper strong sauce

The hamburger is served with the original "Sapporo Classic Sauce", which is based on onions with black pepper and garlic. Especially the spiciness of pepper is strong, and the sharp taste is irresistible for pepper lovers!

You can enjoy a more punchy taste by entwining the hamburger steak with the sauce that has been boiled on a hot iron plate. I want beer unintentionally!


Lunch time is 150g (5.29oz) with rice, salad and soup from 990 yen (tax included). Supper time is sold separately, 180g (6.35oz) from 1,100 yen (same as above). At dinnertime, there is also a small side menu such as potatoes and pickles.

The store is located on the B1F, 2-14-5 Minamiikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo. Business hours are Monday to Saturday from 11:30 to 16:00 and from 18:00 to 23:00. Sundays and holidays 11:30 to 16:00, 18:00 to 22:30.

If you visit on weekdays, it will be a little vacant from 14:30 to 15:00, so this is the aim. Also, it seems that it is relatively easy to enter the time zone immediately after the start of dinner time. We do not accept reservations, so if you are visiting with a large number of people, it is recommended to visit immediately after opening in the morning!
