Finally, I visited the long-awaited "Imazato Teppanyaki" restaurant. This place holds a special memory for me as I worked there part-time for about a year during my student days, making it my first visit as a customer. It had been approximately 18 years since I last visited. When I greeted the staff after the meal, at first they didn't seem to remember me, but as I shared some stories from my time working there, they seemed to recall, which made me happy. The menu has changed quite a bit since my time there, with more seafood options now available. During my time as a part-timer, we never had steak as part of our staff meals, so my goal was to eat the filet steak. First, the beef sashimi that my partner ordered arrived, and it was delicious as I don't often get to eat it. Then, we were served grilled vegetables (potatoes, onions, pumpkin, konjac, tofu) as an appetizer. We also had salad, scallops, beef, eel liver, filet steak, and teppanyaki dishes. The teppanyaki dishes were eaten with homemade ponzu sauce, which I personally love the most. I used to drink the ponzu sauce almost at the end of my staff meals back then. The eel liver was grilled with finely chopped garlic, giving it a delicious aroma, which was one of my favorite dishes. Finally, I fulfilled my dream of eating A5 grade filet steak, which was incredibly delicious for its price. As a finishing touch, we had garlic rice, which was a secret menu item back then. I wonder if they still serve the secret menu item of yakisoba for the finale? Lastly, we were served sherbet (mango?), which used to be apricot sherbet back then, but seems to have changed. Overall, I was completely satisfied and full. Thank you for the wonderful meal. If I have the chance, I would love to try their seafood dishes next time.
