Don Ko An has now been in business in Aoi Ku along the Sengen Street< Shizuoka City for the last 15 years and as far as I know they are the only restaurant specializing in Roast Beef in the whole Prefecture!

SN3O5034

it certainly has a good reputation in Shizuoka City and since I was visiting Sengen Street yesterday it was only normal I finally visited the place!

SN3O5035

The lunch menu was certainly very attractive!

SN3O5036

Beautiful noren/暖簾/entrance curtain!

SN3O5045

The team (not including Tatsuya Suzuki’s founding father) of two smiling staff, the Chef of the House, 2nd generation Tasuya Suzuki and his spouse!

SN3O5037

Part of the lunch menu! And it is a big one!
I chose the 3-slice sirloin roast beef lunch set!
At night there is a Wagyu Roast Beef Dinner available!

SN3O5046

There is also a vast choice of take-outs on site and through the Internet!

SN3O5038

The three-slices of roast beef lunch set!
Very reasonably priced when you consider the volume!

SN3O5039

It comes with green salad,

SN3O5040

very healthy Japanese soup,

SN3O5041

and steamed white rice!

SN3O5042

And the roast beef slices are truly enormous by Japanese standards and by my own!
Great sirloin meat you don’t need a sharp knife to cut through!

SN3O5044

And served with grated horseradish!
very healthy actually!

Note: as lunch time is very busy you’d do well to come at 13:00 when customers are not so many!
