It's about 6 years since my last visit. This is a high-end steak restaurant, but the lunch time was reasonable, so I felt comfortable visiting with a partner.
Ouch!Looking at the menu, the lunch course costs 13,300 yen per person! ((((；ﾟДﾟ)))ｶﾞｸｶﾞｸﾌﾞﾙﾌﾞﾙ
I remember it was 3900 yen when I was here last time! :(;ﾞ'ωﾟ'): I'm completely stunned!
Last time was a weekday, wasn’t it? This time it’s the weekend, so is the price higher? Indeed, prices have been rising over these six years, so it’s natural for them to increase their prices… Sweat dripping down from my forehead.
Well, there's nothing we can do about it now. (￣▽￣;) I ordered the Weekend Dinner Course. It costs 1,430 yen. At least the salad, soup, and other items are included, so that's a relief.
This beer costs 1250 yen per glass. It seems expensive, but given the standard prices in this restaurant, there’s nothing we can do about it. The soup was priced at +200 yen, and they explained that I could change it from today’s soup to a Robusta biscuit soup. So, I decided to make the change anyway. It’s too late to complain or be stingy anymore. (￣▽￣;)
First, there’s an original salad named "Ulfjagang Salad," which contains bacon, shrimp, tomatoes, and other ingredients. It’s quite substantial and delicious. Indeed, as expected from a high-end restaurant, the salads are truly tasty.
Next, the soupe de rostobar. Again, it’s truly delicious. You can order more bread as you like.
The main dish is the T-bone steak, which can be considered a symbol of the restaurant. It’s served hot on a plate, and the staff cuts it up right in front of us. It’s enough for two people, but it’s really huge and impressive. (；ﾟ∀ﾟ；)
French steaks are quite small, which often leaves me dissatisfied. But as expected from an American-sized portion. Given the impressive size, I can accept the slightly higher price.
The degree of cooking is, of course, medium-rare. Since it’s a T-bone cut, the steak is actually sirloin and tenderloin. But still, aged meat is indeed delicious. Both the cooking degree and the seasoning are perfect.
Desserts were not ordered, and the bill was paid without any desserts. A service fee of 10% was added, making the total for both of us 36,322 yen! (((( ;ﾟДﾟ)))ｶﾞｸｶﾞｸﾌﾞﾙﾌﾞﾙ
The expenses were nearly twice the initial plan, but since the food was delicious, it’s acceptable. (*￣m￣)ﾌﾟｯ
At Osaka Station, I met my son. Thinking that he must be hungry for meat, we searched for a steak restaurant in the Meguro area.
Recently, there has been an unusually high number of people in the Meida area. Moreover, it’s Saturday lunchtime, so popular restaurants are bound to have long queues. As expected, even I had to check the situation in advance and make a reservation (^^;).
After searching on Yumelo, I came across this restaurant.Ulfjahang Steakhouse Osaka BranchThe thick meat looks delicious.
Ulfjahang SteakhouseIf you like meat, every person would dream of visiting this famous restaurant in New York.Peter LagerA restaurant founded by Mr. Ulfjagang, who came from his hometown and took it over as its owner. The restaurant specializes in thickly sliced aged meat prepared with New York-style techniques, which is very popular even in Japan.
At this restaurant, you can enjoy top-quality steaks that cost well over 10,000 yen for a dinner meal. For lunchtime, these dishes are available at a reasonable price. This restaurant in Osaka is a highly popular place where reservations are required to get in during the lunch hours. Of course, I also made a reservation. (￣▽￣;)
This restaurant is located on the 10th floor of the RukaiRE in Osaka Station. The ceiling is very high, and the overall atmosphere is luxurious.
Reserve at 12:45. Upon entering, I understand that it's quite a busy place.
I ordered, of course, the most affordable option, a lunch menu costing 3900 yen.
The meat was served as a flank cut for both of us.
The salad can be chosen from four types. First, I chose the "Ulfjahung Salad" which is named after the restaurant.
A female staff member suggested, "It's delicious if you add mozzarella cheese to the toppings," so I couldn't help but say, "Then please do so." In total, it cost 900 yen plus (^^;).
Since there are two people, of course, we can choose another type of salad. Since there's no point in choosing the same item again, I chose the "Seafood Combo". By the way, choosing this option costs an additional 500 yen. At this point, it's no longer a course that costs 3900 yen. (^^;)
By the way, mashed potatoes and cream spoons are standard items. Baguettes are also provided as a service. Hoh (；´Д`A
The drinks are impressive, with a live beer costing 950 yen and oolong tea at 750 yen. Even the shot bars offer prices that rival those of other establishments (￣▽￣;).

By this point, during lunchtime, a typical dish of meat should be served in just a small amount. However, here comes the ultimate secret technique of “rebuilding the table”—a truly remarkable feat.
Next to me, someone is eating a large piece of meat with bones. But I think it's not part of the lunch menu; rather, it was ordered as a single item. As I ponder this, I wait for the meat to be cooked properly.
After waiting for a while, the long-awaited steak is finally ready. When I see the meat placed on a hot plate, I’m completely surprised!
Is this the meat for lunch? Wow! It’s about twice as big as I expected. How happy I am ♪(；ﾟ∀ﾟ；)
The bone-in meat served at the neighboring table was also part of the lunch menu.
The boneless meat has already been cut up. By the way, one piece of meat is served for two people, which makes it look even more impressive.
I and my son each get two pieces respectively.
The thickness of the meat is about 3 centimeters. It's a beautiful Midiaire grade.
First, take a bite. Mmmmm… this is definitely delicious♪(;ﾟ∀ﾟ;).
The surface is rough and crisp, while the inside is juicy. It's a red-meat American steak, but there isn't any dry or stiff texture.
It also has a pleasant bite to the teeth. The flavor of the freshly melted butter is great. The saltiness is just right.
The side dishes, such as mashed potatoes and cream spoons, also combine with the meat juices to enhance the umami flavor.
The meat can be divided into five portions for two people. I underestimated the price at 3,900 yen, but this price is quite reasonable.
Unconsciously, an extra beer was ordered. The total cost became 950 yen.
Total: 1,1850 yen. On top of that, there is a 10% service charge of 1,185 yen. It was still September, so the sales tax was 1,042 yen.
총액で14077円です！
3900円のランチタイムで、油断して色々と追加料金を支払ったせいで、一人当たり7000円にもなってしまいました :(；ﾞﾟ'ωﾟ'):
In terms of taste, I am satisfied, but compared to the service fee charged, the attitude of the staff is a bit arrogant.
Therefore, we won’t assign a score of 4.0, but the meat was delicious. My son was also satisfied♪
