steak&wine Lamp: Teppanyaki with Yamato Beef

At steak&wine Lamp, the star of the show is local Yamato beef, cooked on a teppan grill right before your eyes. The restaurant's signature offering is a tasting course of three different cuts—typically rump, ichibo, and fillet—each presented with a brief explanation before cooking. Guests consistently praise the experience, noting the tender, flavorful meat and the well-chosen sauces, such as red-wine, wasabi, and truffle salt, that accompany each piece.

Beyond the main course, reviewers frequently commend the roast-beef starter, the hot onion gratin soup, and what many call an excellent garlic rice. For special occasions, the HYAKKA dinner course is often recommended, and the staff are happy to prepare celebratory birthday plates. The food is consistently cited as the highlight of the visit.

While the food receives high marks, some diners have noted occasional operational issues, including last-minute reservation cancellations for private events or confusing signage about opening hours. When the restaurant is busy, service can sometimes be slow. A small number of guests also found the seasoning or the timing of courses, such as the rice being served late, to be slightly off.

The value, however, is widely considered excellent, particularly for lunch. Reviewers in 2024–2026 reported paying around ¥3,800 for the 'Yamato beef three-cut tasting' lunch, which is limited to ten servings per day. Dinner courses like the HYAKKA were priced around ¥6,700–¥7,500. Upgrading to garlic rice may incur a small extra charge. For the quality of the beef and the celebratory atmosphere, most find the prices fair.
