The Pepper Lunch Diner at Ueno Station in Tokyo, Japan.
Pepper Lunch is one of my favorite restaurants in Japan,
and this is a upscale version of it
with sit-down table service.
They have the standard Pepper Lunch items
of beef pepper rice, my favorite.
They've also got more higher-end steaks
as well as other Western things like
prosciutto, mussels, and french fries.
They also serve wine so you can get
some alcohol with your steak.
This location is located right outside Ueno Station;
and, in fact, you can see here the Ueno Station
Shinobazu entrance.
This is on the second floor of the building
right across from that entrance.
When you sit down, they put three things on your table.
They put a glass of water, they put a wet napkin,
and they put a bib.
It's a good idea to put the bib on so you don't get
all the grease from the steak on your shirt.
What they also have here in addition to the miso soup
at most Pepper Lunch locations, they have corn potage.
I really like corn soup when I come to Japan.
The corn potage comes in this little cup.
It's really tasty.
I ordered beef extra.
Plenty of beef pepper rice.
Large size with extra rice.
When they bring it to your table,
it's on a hot cast-iron dish, and it's sizzling.
They give you a spoon.
You use your spoon to stir it up and cook the meat.
Once the meat's done, then you stir up the rice,
stir it all together, and it's ready to eat.
Now that looks pretty delicious.
Let me show you some of the interesting things
on the table.
They've got utensils, knives, forks, salad dressing.
Behind the salad dressings they've got two sauces.
This one right here is my favorite.
It's got a really strong garlicky taste.
I put that on my stuff just like it's gravy.
Of course it's Pepper Lunch so you'll find
a pepper shaker and salt.
Just in front of these little dishes there's a little
minced garlic container, which you should
definitely add some of that on your pepper lunch.
Behind the garlic there's wasabi and mustard,
Tabasco, steak sauce, toothpicks, and napkins.
The other nice touch about the Pepper Lunch Diner
is all of the chefs in the back they wear
white chefs' outfits, including tall white chefs' hats.
And now my beef pepper rice it's all done cookin'.
Look at that.
Doesn't it look delicious?
Well let me tell you, it is.
So if you're in Tokyo near Ueno Station,
make sure to check out the Pepper Lunch Diner.
