Akasaka

If you’re torn between a fried head-on prawn and hamburg steak, Akasaka’s “Head-on Prawn and Hamburg Steak” is an appealing combination. The listed menu includes rice and miso soup for 1,100 yen. Diners have praised the substantial prawn meat and the hearty, meaty quality of the hamburg steak, though opinions on the steak vary. The appeal lies in having two familiar favourites on one plate.

Lunch options and prices vary by combination. The “B Lunch” comes with fried prawns, hamburg steak and rice for 1,000 yen; the “C Lunch” pairs fried prawns with beef steak and rice for 1,380 yen. For a meal centred on meat, the “A Lunch” includes pork, fish and rice for 1,000 yen. The “D Lunch,” combining fried prawns and tenderloin steak, makes a more substantial choice. One lunchtime diner described ordering a head-on prawn and tenderloin cutlet, noting that the prawn could be eaten right down to the head and that the cutlet was tender. This menu comes with rice and miso soup for 1,000 yen.

The range of set meals and Western-style dishes extends beyond lunch. Options include hamburg steak and fried prawn set meals, while the steak courses come with soup, salad, rice and coffee for a more complete meal than ordering a single dish. The listed drinks include draft beer and wine by the glass. Choose a simple lunch set or browse the set meals and courses for a favourite Western-style dish; there is plenty to consider.
