01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Break into the plump patty with your chopsticks, and juices run freely to mingle with rich, glossy demiglace. Tucked into Minami-Ikebukuro, UCHOUTEN is a neighbourhood yoshoku spot that puts Kuroge Wagyu hamburg steak centre stage. Crowned with a soft-yolked fried egg, the savoury beef patty pairs with the molten yolk and intense brown sauce for a comforting bite that naturally calls for rice.
Hearty Combinations with Deep-Fried Specialties and Ginger Pork
Alongside its signature hamburg steak, the kitchen offers an enticing lineup of classic Western-style sides and meats to build a generous plate. The seafood cream croquette, packed with shrimp and other fillings beneath a crisp golden crust, and the juicy Kuroge Wagyu menchi-katsu minced meat cutlet are perennial favourites for combo sets. The repertoire extends to dishes featuring Kagoshima Nanshu pork—such as premium loin pork ginger and breaded loin tonkatsu—as well as demiglace omurice, covering all the bases of traditional Japanese-Western comfort dining.
Generous Teishoku Sets in an Easygoing Setting
Each set comes complete with rice and miso soup, accompanied by attentive touches like shredded cabbage and macaroni salad. Counter seating joins the tables inside, making it just as easy to drop in solo as it is to sit down for lunch or dinner with company. With beer and wine by the glass available alongside the hearty mains, it serves as a dependable choice whenever you are craving substantial home-style yoshoku.
