But it is worth stopping for lunch. Ichioku Steak is a friendly, easy-to-enter local steakhouse where the lunch set is the star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you get<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/himeji-gourmet.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/photo1_teppan_fixed-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Sizzling steak on an iron plate\" class=\"wp-image-42\" srcset=\"https:\/\/himeji-gourmet.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/photo1_teppan_fixed-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/himeji-gourmet.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/photo1_teppan_fixed-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/himeji-gourmet.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/photo1_teppan_fixed-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/himeji-gourmet.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/photo1_teppan_fixed-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/himeji-gourmet.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/photo1_teppan_fixed.jpg 1608w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signature Steak Lunch (\u00a51,580) comes with 100g of beef served on a sizzling iron plate, piled over bean sprouts and cabbage, plus salad, rice and miso soup. A double portion (200g) is \u00a52,780.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beef is sliced a little thinner than a classic Western steak \u2014 closer to yakiniku thickness \u2014 which makes it easy to eat with chopsticks. Dip it in the ponzu sauce with grated daikon radish: light, citrusy, and it never gets heavy, even with all that meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My personal notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The vegetables are generous \u2014 you will not leave feeling weighed down<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ponzu dipping sauce is the highlight; refreshing and addictive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The miso soup arrives properly hot (a small thing, but it matters)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, even for first-time visitors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiroshima wagyu, explained on your placemat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1206\" height=\"904\" src=\"https:\/\/himeji-gourmet.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/A1C9CF74-5625-4D8C-A84D-2383EBC53163-photo-BD35A849-2D14-413D-8C46-5DE47D72DEED-1.jpg\" alt=\"Manga-style placemat explaining Hiroshima wagyu\" class=\"wp-image-37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/himeji-gourmet.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/A1C9CF74-5625-4D8C-A84D-2383EBC53163-photo-BD35A849-2D14-413D-8C46-5DE47D72DEED-1.jpg 1206w, https:\/\/himeji-gourmet.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/A1C9CF74-5625-4D8C-A84D-2383EBC53163-photo-BD35A849-2D14-413D-8C46-5DE47D72DEED-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/himeji-gourmet.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/A1C9CF74-5625-4D8C-A84D-2383EBC53163-photo-BD35A849-2D14-413D-8C46-5DE47D72DEED-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/himeji-gourmet.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/A1C9CF74-5625-4D8C-A84D-2383EBC53163-photo-BD35A849-2D14-413D-8C46-5DE47D72DEED-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1206px) 100vw, 1206px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One charming detail: the paper placemat is a manga-style guide to Hiroshima wagyu brands such as Hiba-gyu and Jinseki-gyu.
