Kisentei

On our last full day in Japan, Portia and I decided to go to Roppongi.  

We wanted steak and we looked for a steakhouse that followed these guidelines:




1.  not too expensive.
2.  not too expensive.




We took a chance and went to Tokyo Midtown.  At least if we didn't find steak, there was still some shopping to be had.


Luckily, we chanced upon Kisentei.

There it is, Teppanyaki Steak Kisentei!

We got to the restaurant at 12noon.  We didn't have a reservation, so one of the staff promised to call us once a teppanyaki table was available.   Since we were talking about steak since the day before, another hour's wait wasn't too much bear.


We were given our own little booth, with a smallish teppanyaki table.  It was great.

What we ate:

We started with a simple green salad with vinaigrette.

Scallops.

Cooking our scallops.

These scallops were as big as half a fist!

The steaks!

A well deserved close up of these divine things.

Medium-well, kudasai!

Happiness under that copper lid.

Rice.  Very important.

STEAK!

Let's give it a try, shall we...

Sarap.

I haven't had steak as good as this so far.  And this wasn't even the best on the menu.

I'm eating.  Don't bother me.

While eating, i was wishing that the meal was just about to start and that i wouldn't get full.

I still dream of that steak, even if it has been almost a year since.

Kisentei is at the 3F, Tokyo Midtown, Roppongi.
