Simply the Best Steak

The restaurant's name, "RUSTEAKS," is a portmanteau of "company" and "steak." Owner Mr. Kato explains, "We want our guests to enjoy delicious meat in its simplest form, and to savor every dish from the appetizers onwards. We started with the ideal of creating a place I myself would want to visit."

While "dry-aged meat" is a popular topic with many restaurants offering it, RUSTEAKS serves prime grade American beef Porterhouse (a T-bone cut) and Wakanui spring lamb, dry-aged in-house to perfection and grilled over binchotan charcoal.

"We serve prime grade American beef, which is of such high quality it doesn't need aging to be exceptional. Please enjoy the concentrated umami of the meat," says Mr. Kato.

Lamb and Porterhouse That Will Change Your Perception of Meat

Before indulging in the meat, start with the "Assortment of Oysters (8 pieces) with 3 Sauces." We recommend a crisp, chilled Chablis with the fresh, plump oysters. The "RUSTEAKS" Toss Salad is topped with blue cheese, adding a pungent kick to the well-seasoned vegetables, perfect with wine.

The "Wakanui" Spring Lamb from New Zealand arrives bone-in. Each bite is so clean and full of flavor, it redefines your impression of lamb. The aroma from the charcoal grill heightens anticipation for the main course, the American beef.

Shortly after savoring the spring lamb, the prime grade Porterhouse, or dry-aged T-bone steak, makes its appearance. Unlike the youthful impression of the lamb, the Porterhouse exudes a regal presence. As you know, the T-bone is a coveted cut for meat lovers, offering both fillet and sirloin in one piece. Grilled over binchotan charcoal, RUSTEAKS' version is perfectly charred on the outside, yet exceptionally juicy within. The beautiful red hue is a feast for the eyes, and its tender texture combined with rich flavor is the very essence of meat.

The wine list is also well-curated and easy to navigate, featuring selections from France and the US, as well as New World wines from Australia and New Zealand. The "harmony with meat" selection is particularly noteworthy.

This is a restaurant that truly understands meat, offering expertly dry-aged cuts prepared with techniques tailored to their unique characteristics. It's the perfect place to fully enjoy the profound pleasure of meat.
