Mihara

Grilled to order in the kitchen, each hamburg steak arrives plump and juicy, letting the straightforward, savoury richness of the meat shine through. Set meals paired with hearty additions like large fried prawns and fresh salads make for a generous spread, filling the tray with genuine satisfaction.

Tucked away in a residential pocket of Minami-Koiwa, the neighbourhood diner Mihara features a menu packed with everyday, unpretentious classics such as ginger pork and tonkatsu pork cutlets. A perennial favourite is the katsu curry, pairing a freshly fried cutlet with a comforting, familiar sauce reminiscent of the Showa era—a dependable choice whenever a hearty, filling meal is in order.

A few counter seats and tables furnish the compact dining room, creating a calm, homey atmosphere that feels like stopping by family. Diners can linger unhurriedly over a bottle of beer or drop in solo for a nourishing set meal. Note that payment is cash only.
