Steak Kuni Akasaka

Steak Kuni Akasaka

Steak Kuni Akasaka is just as its name reads - steak, and plenty of it.  All quality beef, chilled and ready to cut for your order.  300 grams (or 0.66 pounds) of juicy steak sizzling on a hot plate, tossed green salad, consomme soup, steamed corn, starch(steamed rice)on special for 1,995 yen.  Sounds good doesn’t it?  The steak was Australian range beef-good, no gaminess, juicy, but a little chewy.  I also had a piece of a 200 gram(0.44 pound)Kobe wagyu beef steak filet after the special.  The pricy Kobe steak was 6,500 yen per 100 grams, but was really juicy, extremely tender, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and showed the contrast between the two steaks.  When ordered, your steak is cut in front of you from a large slab of beef, then weighed. 

Also available is some Japanese wagyu beef from Yonezawa, quality sirloin for 3,570 Yen per 100 grams, and filet for 4,500 Yen per 100 grams.  Other choices include a Kuro gyu(Japanese beef steak)sirloin for 2,310 Yen per 100 grams, and a filet for 2,830 Yen per 100 grams.  A 200 gram 100% beef hamburger steak is 1,020 Yen.  Not a beef eater, no problem, Lobster Thermidor is available for 1,890 Yen.  A salad and rice or bread set is 360 Yen.

We had two bottles of a Chilean cabernet sauvignon 2011 which was 2,400 Yen per bottle.  The wine was very good.  There was French bordeaux wine for as low as 1,000 Yen per bottle.

The restaurant was very busy, but the staff provided very good service.
The restaurant is located at 2-14-2 Nagata-cho, in the Sanno Building, 1st floor, next to the Tokyu Excel Hotel.  It is almost right across the street after you exit from the Akasaka Mitsuke station.

As per this restaurant review, this blogger would definitely go back again for steak at Steak Kuni Akasaka.
