``Suematsu'', which is quietly nestled on a small street just off the main street in Shin-Kobe, is a popular lunch spot with a line forming even before noon. Its unique appearance leaves a lasting impression at first glance. The wooden exterior walls set it apart from the surrounding buildings, giving it an old-fashioned yet warm feel that captures the hearts of visitors. The line of people with luggage waiting for the store to open proves that this place is a must-see for tourists.
There is a sophisticated counter inside the store, and gentle lighting creates a calm atmosphere.
When you go up to the second floor, you will find a tatami room where you can relax and enjoy your private time.
The rhythmic sound of cooking and the sound of frying pans being shaken echoes from the kitchen, giving you a sense of dynamism.
Western Food Suematsu's lunch menu is known for its creativity and depth of flavor.
The lunch-only ``Sakura Rice'' is particularly popular. This menu consists of ketchup rice topped with crispy pork cutlet and plenty of rich white sauce, which stimulates your appetite with its rich flavor and color.
The classic beefsteak is proud of its deliciousness, which is evident even from its appearance.
The juicy meat wrapped in crispy batter is intertwined with the rich and smooth demi-glace sauce, and goes perfectly with rice.
Surprisingly, the 29th of every month is ``Meat Day,'' and Suematsu's proud beefsteak will be featured for a daily lunch.
